Uluslararası Mühendislik, Tasarım ve Teknoloji Dergisi (International Journal of Engineering Design and Technology, IJEDT) is a peer-reviewed journal where original research and review articles are published biannually by Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (Burdur, Turkey) in the field of engineering, architecture, design and technology. In order to improve the overall scientific quality of the journal, following guidelines have been established by the publisher.

Editorial Policy

General Guidelines stated in the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers are followed by all papers submitted to IJEDT. Prior to submission, authors are highly recommended to read the Journal’s Instructions to Authors. Authors should also follow the European Association of Science Editors (EASE) Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English. For any research involving human or animal data, the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors should be followed by the authors of the manuscripts.


Peer review

All contributions are evaluated according to the criteria of originality and quality of their scientific content.

• All manuscripts pass through an initial screening process (technical and overall quality evaluation) in the editorial office followed by an internal review by the technical and scientific editors.

• After the first evaluation, editors have the right to decline formal review of a manuscript if it is (i) on a topic outside the scope of the Journal, (ii) lacking technical merit, (iii) fragmentary and providing marginally incremental results or (iv) poorly written.

• If the manuscript is considered suitable for further evaluation, manuscripts are double-blind-reviewed by a peer review system involving at least two independent reviewers to ensure high quality of manuscripts accepted for publication.

• If requested, the revised version is evaluated by the reviewers, and editors make a decision about final acceptance based on their suggestions. If necessary, further revision can be asked for to fulfil all the requirements of the reviewers.

• The final version is then sent to the technical editor in order to produce a galley proof, and the authors receive this proof for final check before publishing.

• All manuscripts are posted online as pdf files in their final form, indexed in databases.


Publication fee

IJEDT welcomes article submissions and does not charge any publication fee.

Confidentiality

Editors handle all papers submitted to IJEDT in strict confidence. With the exception of reviewers, they do not disclose any information regarding submissions to third parties, unless in case of a suspected misconduct, where COPE recommendations are followed. Submissions are also confidential for reviewers and they are not allowed to share or distribute any part of the manuscripts which they receive for evaluation to third parties. For a case of suspected misconduct, reviewers are encouraged to contact the editorial office immediately in a confidential manner. Reviewers can also recommend a particular course of action in their confidential comments to the editor, following Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers.

IJEDT conducts a double-blind peer review process, i.e. the names of the reviewers are confidential to ensure the critical evaluation of the work. Reviewers are asked not to disclose their names or contact details in their comments for authors.


Authorship

An author is an individual who substantially contributed to the idea or design of a research, acquisition of data, analysis or interpretation of data, was involved in drafting, writing or revising the manuscript critically for important intellectual content. Other contributors should be mentioned in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript and cannot be considered as authors of the study. Correct and full names of all authors and their ORCID IDs should be on the title page of the manuscript. Names of authors must be supplemented with their affiliations and a valid address of the corresponding author. The phone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be stated in the first page of the manuscript. All authors must guarantee that the submitted manuscript is not published anywhere previously and will not be submitted to anywhere before the editorial board makes a final decision on the manuscript.


Funding sources

Details for all funding sources of the research should be stated in the Acknowledgements. Authors should provide the full official funding agency name(s) and grant number(s).


Alteration in authorship

Alteration in authorship after the submission of the manuscript to IJEDT can be justified only by the additional work required during the revision. Any change is not allowed after the acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Alteration in authorship should be indicated in the responses to reviewers, and should be accepted by all authors. The corresponding author is primarily responsible for any alteration in the revised version of the manuscript, including the order of authors.


Correction of data

All authors should be responsible for the accuracy of the published data. For the correction of data, the corresponding author receives the galley proof of the paper and is asked to correct it carefully within 4 days before publication.


Retraction of an article

A retraction of an article is used to correct errors in submission or publication. Authors can retract the paper and should follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) retraction guidelines. In case of a duplicate or overlapping publication, fraudulent use of data, plagiarism or unethical research, the paper will be retracted by the editor, and a retraction notice will be included into the electronic database while all links to the retracted article will be maintained.


Ethical considerations

Conflict of interest:


• Authors should declare any conflict of interest in their submission form. Authors are requested to suggest at least three potential reviewers before submission, and these reviewers cannot be their colleagues, collaborators or members of their institutions.

• Reviewers should notify the editors on any conflict of interest which prevents them from reviewing the paper, and they are recommended to follow the COPE guidelines.

• For the manuscripts submitted by the members of the Editorial Board or their collaborators, peer reviewing is modified to exclude them from the entire evaluation process in order to minimize any bias during the evaluation.

• During revision, the editors follow the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers.
