Evaluation Process

Evaluation Process

1. In order to submit an article to The Journal of International Civilization Studies, the author(s) must register at the journal's website. If the author wishes to be a reviewer in INCISS, he/she should indicate this during registration.

2. While uploading their articles to the system, authors should not include information such as the author's name, title, institution, and e-mail address under the title of the article in the Word document. Authors should follow the opinions of the reviewers on the system. The system administrator can see which academician added the manuscript to the system or sent it to the journal. This is important in terms of allowing the reviewers who will review the article to move more easily. The author information of the article should be uploaded to the system in a separate word file. Detailed information can be found on the spelling rules page.

3. After the article is submitted through the Article Tracking System at https://dergipark.org.tr/ from the personal page entered with the e-mail address and password, the review process can be followed from the same page. After this stage, reports from all reviewers should be expected to be received in order to make corrections.

4. The article received by the journal is first reviewed by the editor and the field editor and it is checked whether the article meets the journal's writing rules. Articles that do not comply with the journal's writing rules are rejected by the editor or field editor without starting the review process or some changes may be requested. Articles that comply with the spelling rules are sent to at least two reviewers who are experts in their fields. The reviewers are expected to complete their evaluations within 15 days and send their reports. However, depending on the intensity of the journal, this period may take longer in some cases.

5. At every stage of the process, a double-blind review system is used in which the names of the reviewers and authors are kept anonymous. Reviewers evaluate the submitted articles in terms of originality, contribution to the literature, methodology, etc. Reviewers can directly accept, reject or ask the authors to make corrections. For an article to be accepted for publication, at least two reviewers must give a positive opinion. If one of the reviewers' reports is positive and the other is negative, the article is sent to a third reviewer.

6. The article is published if it receives an "Acceptance Report" from two reviewers. If the article receives a "Rejection Report" from two reviewers, it will not be published and the author(s) of the article will be informed. If the reviewers get a "Correction Report", the author(s) are notified of the requested corrections. The author(s) are asked to complete the requested corrections and upload the article to the system again. The corrected version of the article is sent back to the reviewers, or if minor corrections are requested, the field editor can check whether the requested corrections have been fulfilled and send the article to the publication archive. If a major correction report is given, the field editor sends the article to the same reviewer again. If an "Acceptance Report" is received, it is queued in the publication archive. If the requested or expected corrections are not made, the article is "Rejected".

7. Articles submitted to The Journal of International Civilization Studies must be passed through similarity scanning software (Turnitin, iThenticate, etc.), a document indicating that they are at most 20% similar, including the bibliography, and an Ethical Responsibility Statement and Copyright Form signed by the authors.

8. The author/authors are responsible for the articles submitted to The Journal of International Civilization Studies.

9. It is assumed that all authors submitting articles to The Journal of International Civilization Studies accept all the responsibilities in the Declaration of Publication Ethics of The Journal of International Civilization Studies.

10. The Journal of International Civilization Studies accepts articles in Turkish, Kyrgyz, English, Russian and other Turkish dialects. For articles submitted in an alphabet (Cyrillic alphabet) other than the Latin alphabet (in Kyrgyz, Russian and other Turkish Dialects), the author's name and colophon, article title, abstract and bibliography must also be written in the Latin alphabet.

11. Articles written in Kyrgyz, Russian and other Turkic dialects must have Title, Abstract, Key Words and References in English. In addition, at the end of the references written in Cyrillic alphabet, the references must be given in Latin letters. This is especially important for indexes and scanning of the article.

12. During the first submission, the review process will not be initiated for articles that do not comply with the journal's writing rules.

13. Authors should follow the process by logging into the journal's system from time to time to learn the opinions of the reviewers and editors. Since they can see the corrections made by the reviewers through the system, they should make the necessary corrections and upload the final version of the article back to the system.

14. The suggestions of the reviewers and editors must be corrected and uploaded to the system within 30 days. Articles without the necessary corrections within this period will be deleted from the system.
