Customs and Trade Journal Article Process

Our journal is a periodical publication published every three months, which includes academic and practical articles. Articles are accepted from the fields of customs, domestic and foreign trade, Turkish and World economy, globalization, management, auditing, company law, customs-tax-domestic-foreign trade law, balance of payments, etc.

Articles to be sent to the journal can be in Turkish and English. The studies to be sent to the journal must not have been published anywhere before. (Works sent to congresses as 180-word abstracts are accepted into the journal publishing process by stating the place where they are submitted in the footnote description.)

Studies determined to be written in accordance with the rules of the journal are examined by the editor(s) and sent to two or more referees. Manuscripts may be rejected or authors may be asked to make edits. The article that receives 2 positive reports from the referees means that it has been accepted for publication. The article that receives 1 positive and 1 negative report is referred to the 3rd referee. Corrections of articles that have received corrections must be completed within 1 week. After the manuscript is completed within the specified period, if accepted, it will be published within 3 weeks.

When applying to the "Dergipark Article Application System", a signed copyright transfer form is filled out. This form is available on the application system. In the article sent to the Customs and Trade Journal, surveys, interviews, focus group studies, etc. were used. If the data collected through other means has been used, the permission documents obtained from the relevant institution and/or the Ethics Committee Approval Certificate must be uploaded to the "Dergipark Article Application System" during the article application.

Articles uploaded to the Dergipark system are checked for similarity in the "iThenticate" plagiarism program. Articles with a similarity rate above 20% are editorially rejected.
