Submission and tracking of manuscripts in Turkish or English is done electronically on the website http://www.dergipark.org.tr/gjeb via Dergi Park UDS system.

2. Preliminary Consideration

Before proceeding to the evaluation phase, the manuscripts are checked whether they are written in accordance with the guidelines. Manuscripts that do not comply with the publication principles and guidelines are sent back to the author together with the "Preliminary Consideration Form" for correction and the revisions must be made by the author within 15 days at the latest.

The editorial board has the right to desk reject the paper you submit before sending out for review based on the grounds such as if the paper does not comply with the journal’s principles and policies and/or author guidelines, does not fall within the scope of the journal or is too underdeveloped.

3. Peer-Review

Manuscripts that comply with the publication principles and the guidelines are submitted to at least two referees determined by the editorial board for evaluation. At this stage, authors and referees are unaware of each other throughout the process. Referees are selected for the evaluation of the manuscripts according to their fields of expertise and they submit their evaluations to the editorial board as a report. If two referees give different opinions, a third referee’s opinion is taken.

4. Evaluations and Editing

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript by considering the "Manuscript Evaluation Form". The forms filled by the reviewers are submitted to the authors. If the referees anticipate a correction, the manuscript is sent back to the author to make the necessary corrections. The revisions are made by the authors within 30 days at the latest and the revised manuscript is sent to the journal along with the "Correction List". The edited manuscript is re-evaluated by the referees. In the event of an objection to the referee’s opinion during the manuscript evaluation phase, another referee opinion is requested. Articles receiving the positive opinion of the two referees can be accepted with the decision of the editorial board, while the articles with negative opinions by the two referees are rejected.

5. Publication

Manuscripts with the positive opinions of at least two referees and accepted by the editorial board are included in the publication portfolio and published on the website https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/gjeb in the order determined by the Editorial Board. Even if the referees have a positive opinion, publication of the manuscripts depends on the decision of the editorial board.

6. Withdrawal of the Manuscript

Manuscripts submitted to the journal can be withdrawn by the authors while they are at the preliminary consideration stage. It is not possible to withdraw manuscripts during the evaluation stage.
