Articles that have not been previously published or are not currently under review for publication in another journal and have been approved by the authors will be accepted for review.
IJDES uses intihal.net for plagiarism detection. Articles that pass the plagiarism check and are deemed suitable are evaluated by the editor-in-chief in terms of originality, methodology, relevance of the subject matter, and compatibility with the scope of the journal.
The editor-in-chief evaluates articles independently of the authors' ethnic origin, gender, nationality, religious beliefs, and political philosophy. He ensures that articles submitted for publication undergo a fair double-blind peer review process. The editor-in-chief forwards the article to a subject editor who is an expert in the field.
Articles are sent by the Field Editor to at least two national/international reviewers for evaluation; the decision to publish is made by the Field Editor after the authors have made the revisions requested by the reviewers and the review process has been completed. At least two reviewers must give a positive report at the end of the process for the article to be accepted.
Reviewers' evaluations must be objective. During the review process, reviewers are expected to evaluate the article by considering the following points.
- Does the article contain new and important information?
- Does the abstract clearly and accurately describe the content of the article?
- Is the methodology described in a coherent and understandable manner?
- Are the comments made and conclusions reached supported by the findings?
- Are sufficient references provided to other studies in the field?
- Is the language quality adequate?

Reviewers must ensure that all information related to the submitted articles remains confidential until the article is published and must report any copyright infringement or plagiarism they detect on the part of the author to the editor. If a reviewer does not feel qualified to review the article or is unable to provide timely feedback, they should inform the editor of this situation and request to be excluded from the review process.

During the review process, the editor clearly states to the reviewers that the articles sent for review are the property of the authors and that this is privileged communication. Reviewers and members of the editorial board may not discuss the articles with other individuals. Care should be taken to keep the identities of the reviewers confidential.
