- The Initial Evaluation Process: The articles submitted to be published via Dergipark are initially checked by the editors. In this evaluation, articles are directly rejected if they are unsuitable for the journal’s aim and scope; they show weakness in terms of their language and articulation; they have critical scientific mistakes; they are not original; they do not comply with the publication policy of the journal; and if their plagiarism rate is over 15 percent. If the sent article does not comply with the spelling rules of the journal, this is considered as a sufficient reason for the article to be rejected at this early stage. The authors of the rejected articles are informed within the first month of their submission date. The articles, which are deemed suitable at the end of this evaluation, are sent to a Field Editor or a member of the Editorial Board according to their field of research.

Those which comply with the journal’s publication policy are sent to reviewers for the double-blind evaluation process.
- Double-blind Review Process: The articles which comply with the journal’s publication policy are evaluated scientifically by at least two reviewers according to double-blind independent and unprejudiced peer-reviewing principles.

The reviewers have the authority to declare the manuscript suitable or not suitable for publication, or suggest it be partially corrected, re-written, re-arranged, or proofread. Articles which are deemed suitable for publication at the end of the review process are published. However, the last decision belongs to the Editorial Board.
