Article Evaluation Process
• The referee processes of the articles submitted to our journal are carried out within the scope of double blind refereeing.
• Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by the editor for compliance with the journal's editorial principles, academic writing rules and the Vancouver Citation System, and are scanned for plagiarism using Intihal.net (https://intihal.net/en/) software. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this rate are rejected without being included in the referee process.
• After the Preliminary Review and Plagiarism Scan, the eligible manuscripts are reviewed by the field editor and then forwarded to at least two expert referees within the scope of double blind review. If one of the two reviewers responds negatively, the manuscript is sent to a third reviewer. In order for the manuscripts submitted to our journal to be published, at least two referees must make a publishable decision.
• In articles evaluated within the scope of double blind review, the process is carried out in confidentiality. The information of referees and authors is kept confidential.
• In cases where the referees request a correction, the relevant referee evaluations are sent to the author and a correction is requested. The corrected text is first checked by the field editor and then by the referee(s).
• The manuscripts that are decided to be published are prepared for publication by typesetting and layout.
• After the typesetting and layout processes are completed, the article is published in the journal.
NOTE: In our journal, referees are given 10 days to evaluate the articles, but this period can be extended by adding 25 days.
