Peer Review Process Principles
Evaluation Principles
1) Articles that have not been previously published or are not currently under review for publication in another journal and have been approved by each author will be accepted for evaluation.
2) Submitted articles that pass the preliminary check will be screened for plagiarism using the İthenticate or Turnitin software.
3) Fırat University Journal of Experimental and Numerical Engineering conducts a single-blind peer review process. All submissions will first be evaluated by the editor for suitability for the journal. Articles deemed suitable will be sent to at least three independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the article.
4) Editors evaluate articles independently of the authors' ethnic origin, gender, nationality, religious beliefs, and political philosophy. They ensure that articles submitted for publication undergo a fair single-blind peer review process.
5) The chief editor does not allow conflicts of interest between authors, editors, and reviewers.
6) The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The editor's decision is final.
7) Editors do not participate in decisions regarding articles written by themselves, their family members, or colleagues, or articles related to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all of the journal's normal procedures.

Article Evaluation Process
The article evaluation process in our journal consists of five main stages: preliminary review, editor review, peer review, revision, and publication.

1- Preliminary Review
• The work is reviewed by the editor for compliance with the journal's publication principles, academic writing rules, and the IEEE Citation System, and is screened for plagiarism using the Ithenticate or Turnitin program. The similarity rate must be less than 25%. Works exceeding this rate are returned to the authors at the preliminary review stage.

2-Editorial Review
Manuscripts that pass the Preliminary Review and Plagiarism Screening stages are reviewed by the relevant field editor for problematic content and academic language and style.

3- Peer Review Process
• For papers that pass the preliminary review and Field Editor review stages, a Single-Blind Peer Review process is initiated. The paper is submitted for evaluation to at least three external reviewers. The peer review process is conducted confidentially within the framework of single-blind peer review. For a paper to be published in our journal, at least two reviewers must give a positive opinion.

4- Revision Process
• If reviewers request revisions, authors must mark the changes they have made in their work in red. Revisions made in accordance with reviewer requests are first evaluated and checked by the editor, then by the reviewers.
• Manuscripts that have completed the review process are reviewed by our journal's language editors. If deemed necessary, authors are requested to make revisions related to language and writing. Revisions made by authors are reviewed again by language editors and approved.

5- Publication Process
• Articles that have undergone technical, academic, and linguistic reviews are typeset and formatted, prepared for publication, and published in the next issue.

NOTE: The final decision regarding submissions to our journal is made by the chief editor.
