Journal of Human and Work does not charge an article processing fee or a subscription fee for access to manuscripts at any stage of the publication process.

Publication Ethics
Journal of Human and Work adopts the ethical standards determined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). COPE makes recommendations to editors and publishers on publication ethics, and particularly indicates how to behave and what to do regarding research and publication misconduct.

Editor's Responsibility
Editors evaluate incoming manuscripts in terms of scientific content without taking into consideration the ethnic origin, gender, sexual preference, nationality, religious belief or political philosophy of the authors. They provide a fair double-blind peer-review process for the publication of submitted manuscripts. They ensure that all information about the submitted manuscript is kept confidential until publication. Editors are responsible for the content and overall quality of the publication. They publish corrections when necessary through editorial notes. Editors should not allow any conflict of interest or competition between authors, editors and referees. Only the Editor has full authority in the appointment of referees in Journal of Human and Work and is responsible for the final decision regarding the publication of the articles.

Referees' Responsibilities
Referees evaluate the submitted manuscripts in terms of scientific content without considering the ethnic origin, gender, nationality, religious belief or political philosophy of the authors. There should be no conflict of interest or competition regarding the research, authors or sponsors for the referees. Referee decisions should be objective. Referees should indicate relevant published publications that have not been cited by the author. They are obliged to keep all information regarding the submitted manuscript confidential and to notify the Editor when they become aware of any copyright infringement or plagiarism committed by the author. When the referee thinks that the content of a submitted article is incompatible with their own scientific field or knowledge or in cases where they cannot make a rapid evaluation, they must inform the Editor and ask for their forgiveness from the evaluation process.

Authors' Responsibility
Authors must guarantee the originality of the manuscripts they submit. They must declare that the manuscript has not been published anywhere else, in any language, or has not been evaluated for publication. They must comply with the applicable copyright agreements and laws. Copyrighted material such as tables, figures or other contributing citations in our journal are published only with valid permission and copyright approval, and this responsibility belongs to the authors. Authors must appropriately cite other authors, contributors or sources and indicate the relevant sources.

Plagiarism Policy
The journal has a zero-tolerance policy regarding plagiarism.
The editor handles plagiarism in two ways: peer review and plagiarism prevention software (e.g. intihal.net). All submissions to the journal are checked with a software called intihal.net before they are sent for peer review. If plagiarism is detected by either the referees or the editorial office at any stage of the submission - before or after acceptance, at any stage before publication - the editor may notify the author(s) and request that the submission be rewritten and/or properly cited. If plagiarism is very widespread (e.g. more than 25% of the submission is plagiarized), the submission may be rejected or the author(s)'s institutions may be notified of the violation.
