PUBLICATION ETHICS

Publishing processes applied in Inonu University International Journal of Social Sciences (INIJOSS) constitute the basis for the development and distribution of information in a neutral and respected manner. The processes implemented in this direction are directly reflected in the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions supporting the authors. Refereed studies embody and support the scientific method. At this point, it is important that all stakeholders of the process (writers, readers and researchers, publishers, referees and editors) comply with the standards for ethical principles. Within the scope of our journal’s publication ethics, all stakeholders are expected to have the following ethical responsibilities.
The following ethical duties and responsibilities are written in the light of the guide and policies made by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Publishing a manuscript in a refereed journal is an essential building block in the development of a harmonious and respected knowledge network. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Refereed manuscripts support and shape scientific methods. Therefore, reaching an agreement in the standards of expected ethical behaviour is important for all publishing parties, author, journal editor, referee and publisher organizations:

1. Authorship
