Publishing Ethics

IJPS adheres to the academic and ethical principles of publishing.

Studies that violate the academic and legal criteria such as double submission, plagiarism, and/or violation of copyright laws are not evaluated. If and when such violations are determined during the evaluation period, the review process is immediately stopped and the study is returned to the author(s). 

The Editorial Board and the editors of the Journal are obliged to ensure the confidentiality of the submitted works until they are published, except in the case of suspicion of double submission or plagiarism. In cases where the Editorial Board decides not to publish material, it is the responsibility of the editors and the Editorial Board that no information will be disseminated to any person other than the author(s) and the manuscript will not be used by the Journal for other purposes.

Online Manuscript Submission

IJPS uses an electronic submissions process that is available on the DergiPark website. Before submitting your article, first, read the Manuscript Requirements.

Spelling Guidelines

Submissions to IJPS should follow the style guidelines described in the Chicago Manual of Style. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary and Turk Dil Kurumu Yazım Kılavuzu should be consulted for spelling.

References

Citations should be numbered sequentially in the text using superscripted digits, in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style (16^th ed.) guidelines. The first citation of a reference should include full bibliographic information. For subsequent citations, a shortened bibliographic form such as the author’s name, title, and page number should be used. When consecutive citations refer to the same work, “Ibid.” should replace the bibliographical information in citations after the first, with the page number(s) added if the cited page(s) differ from those included in the immediately preceding citation.

The Review Process
IJPS uses a double-blind review process; authors should make sure that their submission (including supplementary materials) are suitably anonymous and is not sent to anywhere else to be published. Articles, which violate style guidelines will be sent back to the author for revision.
Articles and letters are primarily reviewed by the editorial staff and associate editors. Submissions that are overly long, poorly-written, incorrectly formatted, or whose content is not appropriate for the journal will not be reviewed and the author(s) of those submissions will be informed but the revision process will not be initiated.
Authors are recommended to examine material that has recently been published in the journal if they have questions about whether their work is appropriate for IJPS.
Submissions that clear this initial stage are then reviewed by Associate Editors and are directed to appropriate referees for the review process to start. In certain cases, the editorial board as well as the advisory board may need to be consulted. For the referee process to be completed, it is necessary to receive a positive publication report from two referees. In case of any negative report from a referee, the decision to send the manuscript to another referee for reviewing belongs to the Editors. Posts will be published without waiting in case of positive reports by the referees or if they meet determined standards after correction. Posts whose process is interrupted or which are rejected for any reason will not be returned to their authors again.
Authors can follow the process regarding their posts through DergiPark.

Publishing

Views and opinions in posts that are accepted for publishing whose referee process is positive belong to their authors, so, oblige neither the journal nor the referees. IJPS is not a carrier of any opinion and realizes publishing in accordance with neutral publishing rules and scientific ethics. However, all rights of the manuscripts that are accepted for publication in the journal are deemed to have been transferred to the journal.

We recommend that you keep a copy of the accepted manuscript when your article is accepted for publication.  For possible uses of your accepted manuscript, please see our page on sharing your work.

Data Sharing Policy

This journal encourages authors to share the data obtained as a result of their research while remaining within the requirements of the universal and legal criteria for the protection of personal rights with scientific ethics and citation rules. In this context, IJPS adopts the Budapest Open Access Initiative Declaration (2001) 

CrossRef Similarity Check

Please note that IJPS uses CrossRef Similarity Check™ (Powered by iThenticate) to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to the journal you are agreeing to originality checks during the peer-review and production processes.
