1. General Principles
- Articles that are decided to be published are queued by making the necessary arrangements and wait to be published. Authors are informed about the issue in which the article will be published.
- An author whose article is published in the International Journal of Filologia (IJOF) will be able to publish another article in our Journal at the earliest in the third issue following the publication of the article, except for special issues. For example, an author whose article was published in the March 2021 issue of our Journal will be able to appear in our Journal with another article in the October 2022 issue at the earliest. In addition, an author should not upload another article to the system before the process related to his/her ongoing article is completed. In such a case, the other article or articles uploaded will be rejected.
- Depending on the intensity of the articles received in an issue, quota limitations are applied to faculty members from the same university or authors from the same institution.
- In order for an article to be evaluated and published in the International Journal of Filologia (IJOF), the editors must first decide on the suitability of the article for the journal. The editors may directly reject an article that they deem inappropriate or inadequate in terms of form or content without passing it through the referee process. The fact that an article receives a positive report from the referees does not mean that the article will definitely be published. The editor, editorial board or field editor may decide not to publish an article even if the referees report favourably. However, in such a case, the editor is obliged to inform the author of the reason.
- In each issue of our journal, a quota is applied for articles produced from graduate theses and publication reviews / book reviews, taking into account the number of articles in that issue.

- In case of publication of their articles, the author(s) of the journal undertake that the ethical rules are followed and that the ethical rules are observed and that all responsibility in this regard lies with the author(s).
- As of 1 January 2024, Correction Articles will not be published in our journal. Therefore, authors should check their articles meticulously after publication and submit any minor correction requests to the editor of the journal within three (3) days after publication.
