Official ethics committee approval documentation is mandatory for all research involving human or animal subjects. This approval document must have been issued prior to the data collection process. Furthermore, authors must clearly state the approving institution, approval date, and decision/protocol number in the methodology section of their manuscript. Editorial processes at HUJFL are managed in compliance with the TR Dizin Ethical Principles Flowchart (Tr. TR Dizin Etik İlkeleri Akış Şeması).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

Authors submitting manuscripts to HUJFL must clearly declare any artificial intelligence tools utilised during manuscript preparation, explicitly detailing at which stages of writing these tools were employed. While generative AI tools may present certain advantages in publishing regarding transparent and responsible use, AI tools must never be used as a substitute for human critical thinking, scholarly expertise, and academic judgement.

• Authors participating in HUJFL’s evaluation and publication processes bear full responsibility for the following regarding AI tool usage:
• Verifying the accuracy, completeness, and objectivity of outputs generated by AI tools (including hallucinations and fabricated citations),
• Making all necessary edits and adaptations to ensure that the content presented genuinely reflects the author’s own perspective and original intellectual contribution,
• Verifying the accuracy of images/visuals produced by AI tools, obtaining appropriate usage permissions, and providing standard citations,
• Providing transparent and explicit declarations concerning the use of AI tools in the manuscript;
• Ensuring that no intellectual property, data privacy, or third-party copyright infringements occur under the terms of service of the AI tool utilized;
• Refraining from listing any AI tool or model as a co-author;
• Explicitly declaring the specific AI tools and the nature of their use within the Author Declaration Form submitted upon initial submission (this declaration will be published under the author declarations section of the final article).

Editors, field editors, associate editors, language editors, and reviewers serving in HUJFL’s editorial processes must likewise manage evaluation workflows in strict adherence to data privacy, intellectual property rights, and the responsible use of generative AI tools.

All actors involved in HUJFL’s publication workflows are expected to act in full accordance with the following institutional policies and guidelines:

• Hacettepe University Generative Artificial Intelligence Usage Policy in Education and Training Processes (Tr. Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Öğretim Süreçlerinde Üretken Yapay Zeka Kullanım Politikası),
• Ethical Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence published by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK),
• Guidelines for the Responsible and Reliable Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) (Tr. Üretken Yapay Zekanın (ÜYZ) Sorumlu ve Güvenilir Kullanım Rehberi) published by TÜBİTAK

Management of the Peer-Review and Editorial Workflows

The editorial and review workflow at HUJFL is conducted collectively by the editorial secretariat, the Editor-in-Chief, field editors, reviewers, language editors, and the production editor. All editorial and workflow processes for candidate manuscripts are administered via the flowcharts and designated forms of the DergiPark Academic system.

The editorial team continuously updates publication workflows within the framework of continuous quality improvement. The review processes of HUJFL are monitored systematically. In response to developments in scholarly publishing and incoming stakeholder feedback, iterative improvements are implemented. In exceptional cases, guidelines established by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) serve as authoritative frameworks.

All peer-review workflows at HUJFL are conducted via a double-blind peer-review system.

Conflict of Interest

All stakeholders involved in the publication processes of HUJFL (Editor-in-Chief, editors, associate editors, field editors, language editors, reviewers, and authors) declare that they have no competing interests regarding the publication of HUJFL. Furthermore, the Editor-in-Chief, field editors, and associate editors agree to recuse themselves from managing or evaluating any submissions where a potential conflict of interest exists.

To ensure transparency and accountability and to prevent any potential bias, the Editor-in-Chief, editors, and associate editors involved in editorial decision-making cannot submit manuscripts to HUJFL. Field editors may submit manuscripts only on the condition that they are not the primary/first author of works derived from postgraduate theses. In such instances, the submitting field editor’s editorial privileges in the system are temporarily suspended, and the review process is managed by an independent field editor affiliated with a different institution. All evaluation stages for such submissions are conducted by external, independent reviewers.

For submissions authored by researchers affiliated with Hacettepe University, the entire evaluation process is administered by an independent field editor from an external institution, and all assigned reviewers are selected strictly from outside Hacettepe University.

Comprehensive Review Process

Manuscript evaluation at HUJFL takes into account the Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive of Higher Education Institutions (YÖK) (Tr. Yükseköğretim Kurumları Bilimsel Araştırma ve Yayın Etiği Yönergesi), the guidelines of Hacettepe University Ethics Boards and Commissions, the ICMJE recommendations, and COPE's International Standards for Editors and Authors.

The editorial evaluation workflow for all submitted research manuscripts comprises four primary stages: Preliminary Evaluation, Field Editor Review, Peer Review, and Editorial Decision & Revisions.

Preliminary Evaluation Stage

Candidate manuscripts submitted via DergiPark Academic are first screened by the editorial secretariat. At this stage, manuscripts undergo the following checks:

• Compliance with journal focus and scope,
• Compliance with document templates and word count limits,
• Verification of required declarations,
• Inspection of the cover letter, ethics committee approval document, conflict of interest statements, and similarity/plagiarism index report,
• Compliance with the formatting requirements set out in the Author Guidelines.

Manuscripts that fail to align with the journal’s scope or word limits, contain missing or false declarations, lack mandatory ethics committee approvals, or submit ethics committee approvals dated subsequent to data collection will be rejected and returned.

For manuscripts displaying minor formatting and referencing deficiencies, revision is requested from the authors.

Manuscripts that meet the preliminary criteria are anonymised for double-blind review and forwarded to a field editor holding domain expertise in the subject declared by the authors. An associate editor is also assigned at this stage to monitor workflow progression and coordinate necessary operational steps.

All manuscripts are screened for text similarity upon initial submission via the built-in similarity check tool provided by DergiPark Academic. When deemed necessary, editors may also generate independent similarity reports using external screening software. Manuscripts exhibiting high similarity indices or matched block quotations are rejected. Similarity screening may also be repeated at the conclusion of the peer-review process prior to final acceptance.

Field Editor Review Stage

Following secretariat checks, management of the manuscript workflow is undertaken by assigned field editors. For interdisciplinary submissions, multiple field editors may collaborate in managing the process.

During this stage, manuscripts are appraised for scientific merit and academic rigour. Field editors may formulate preliminary revision recommendations in a formal report and transmit them to the author. Furthermore, field editors advise the Editor-in-Chief regarding whether the manuscript should proceed to external peer review.

For manuscripts deemed academically sound, the field editor nominates at least two external reviewers who possess relevant domain expertise and hold no conflict of interest with the authors, thereby initiating the peer-review process.

The field editor coordinates the reviewer assessment process alongside the associate editor, initiates supplementary reviewer assignments when needed, and oversees sequential evaluation rounds. Ultimately, field editors synthesise the peer evaluations to formulate a final recommendation.

Peer Review Stage

Following field editor appraisal, formal Review Invitations are dispatched to selected reviewers via DergiPark Academic. Invited reviewers are expected to respond to the invitation within five days. A single reminder is sent to reviewers who do not respond within this five-day window. If no response is received following the reminder, the field editor assigns an alternative reviewer.

Reviewers who accept the invitation are granted a 20-day evaluation window. A single reminder is issued to reviewers who fail to submit their review within this timeframe. If the evaluation is not completed within the designated window, a new reviewer is appointed.

Anonymised full-text manuscripts and structured evaluation forms are shared with assigned reviewers. Reviewers are obliged to carry out evaluations within the stipulated timeframe, in the language of the manuscript, and in strict compliance with confidentiality and double-blind standards.

Reviewers may submit the recommendations of accept, ccept with minor revisions, re-evaluate after major revisions, and reject. For manuscripts requiring re-evaluation after major revisions, the revised submission is returned to the requesting reviewer for a subsequent review cycle.

Reviewer reports constitute the foundational evidence for the editorial publication decision. The final decision is determined following a joint assessment of the reviewer reports by the Editor-in-Chief, associate editors, and field editors. Reviewer evaluations are expected to offer constructive, comprehensive, and detailed insights that transparently highlight the strengths and development areas of the manuscript. In instances where reviewer reports are deemed inconclusive or contradictory, additional external reviewer assessments are solicited.

Editorial Decision and Revisions

Editorial decisions are issued for deficiencies identified at preliminary screening and for manuscripts that have completed external peer review.

For peer-reviewed manuscripts, the editorial decision is formed through rigorous appraisal of reviewer feedback by the Editor-in-Chief and field editors. The editorial determination comprises one of four formal outcomes:

• Acceptance: The manuscript is formally accepted for publication following successful peer review. Reviewer reports and annotated files are shared with the authors, and the manuscript moves into the production stage following any final copy-editing.
• Minor Revision: The manuscript requires specific minor modifications. Author revisions are verified by the editorial board to confirm publication eligibility. If a reviewer has requested to see the revisions, the modified text is returned to that reviewer for final sign-off.
• Major Revision: The manuscript requires extensive restructuring and substantive revisions. A new evaluation round is initiated upon receipt of the revised manuscript, which is either returned to the original reviewers or submitted to a newly appointed reviewer.
• Rejection: The manuscript is deemed unsuitable for publication. The editor transmits this decision to the authors accompanied by the reviewer justifications and any anonymised annotated text files.

Authors are expected to address all revision requests meticulously. For every revision round, authors must submit a detailed, itemised Response to Reviewers/Editors file via DergiPark Academic outlining every change made. Authors must avoid including any personal identifying information (e.g., author names, institutional details) in their response files or via system text forms to maintain the integrity of double-blind review. Any breach of double-blind anonymisation necessitates restarting the evaluation workflow.

Post-Acceptance Production Workflow

Following the acceptance of a manuscript, production processes are managed under the supervision of the production editor. This stage encompasses typesetting, layout design, language and stylistic checks, proofreading, author sign-off, and scheduling.

Production Editor Assignment

An assigned production editor oversees and manages the technical production workflow for all accepted manuscripts.

Typesetting and Layout

Typesetting and layout procedures are carried out during the pre-publication preparation of manuscripts accepted for publication in HUJFL. Through these processes, manuscripts are aligned with the templates specified in HUJFL’s author guidelines using professional publishing software. At this stage, in-text citations and reference lists are thoroughly verified.

Language Checks

Language editors conduct comprehensive language and stylistic editing in the respective publication language of the manuscript. Authors may be requested to review stylistic adjustments or clarify terminology at this stage.

Proofreading and Publication Approval

Once typesetting and language checks are finalised, galley proofs are transmitted to the corresponding author for final proofreading and publication clearance. Authors are provided with editorial queries identified during typesetting and language editing. Only minor corrections (such as minor typographical corrections that do not alter the scholarly argument) are permitted at this stage.

Authors are required to confirm their final institutional affiliations and grant formal publication sign-off for the final layout version. Following formal author sign-off, no further modifications can be made to the text, save for urgent minor adjustments allowed within the limits defined by DergiPark Academic.

Publication Schedule and Early View

HUJFL is a serial academic journal published twice a year (Issue 1 in June; Issue 2 in December). Intellectual, ethical, and legal liability for all published material rests entirely with the authors. Authors are solely responsible for securing all necessary copyright clearances for figures, tables, images, and other embedded materials. HUJFL disclaims all liability for legal disputes arising from such matters.

To expedite the dissemination of scientific knowledge, accepted manuscripts completing the post-acceptance workflow are published online in Early View. Early View articles are assigned provisional volume, issue, and page numbers based on submission and acceptance dates. Early View versions may undergo final pagination adjustments upon inclusion in a scheduled issue; once the full regular issue is published, the Early View status is superseded.

Each regular issue of HUJFL publishes 23 articles. Assignment to regular issues is structured chronologically based on submission and acceptance dates. In cases where multiple manuscripts share identical acceptance dates, certain issues may accommodate up to 24 articles. Accepted articles are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which becomes active upon publication of the designated issue.

Appeals and Complaints

Appeals concerning editorial decisions and formal complaints regarding HUJFL procedures may be lodged directly with Hacettepe University and the Dean’s Office of Hacettepe University Faculty of Letters via e-dergi@hacettepe.edu.tr.

HUJFL handles appeals and complaints in strict conformity with the Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive of Higher Education Institutions (Tr. Yükseköğretim Kurumları Bilimsel Araştırma ve Yayın Etiği Yönergesi), the institutional regulations of Hacettepe University Ethics Boards and Commissions, and the best practice guidelines, flowcharts, and case outcomes defined by COPE.

Appeals and complaints must be accompanied by comprehensive justifications and verifiable documentary evidence. Final determinations are issued following formal reviews conducted by the Faculty of Letters and relevant institutional oversight boards.
