Assessment of Manuscripts:

The manuscripts that have been sent to the journal are first assessed in terms of the consistency to the publishing principles of the journal. The manuscripts are not fulfilling the publishing principles of the journal will not be peer reviewed or assessed for publication.

The manuscripts that are in the process of assessment are sent to two reviewers determined by Editorial Board thereby hiding the names of writers. During the assessment phase any information about the identity of writer/writers is not given to the reviewers and the names of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors. If one of the referee reports is positive and another is negative, the manuscript is sent to the third referee and/or Editorial Board can give the last decision by means of assessing the reports. The authors consider reviews, suggestions and correction requests of the referees and Editorial Board. If any, they can notify their disagreements to Editorial Board in a separate report with justification. The referee reports are hidden for a period of five years.
