JAEFS ARTICLE EVALUATION STAGES

1) INITIAL EVALUATION

All editorial workflow is done online by logging into the Dergipark system (https://dergipark.org.tr/jaefs). Dergipark journal submission portal https://dergipark.org.tr/en/journal/2032/submission/step/manuscript/new assigns each manuscript a unique manuscript ID, and this identification number should be used in any communication with the editorial or technical personnel.

• Each submitted manuscript is pre-reviewed by the journal’s editor(s) for its suitability for the International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Food Sciences.
• The manuscript may be rejected before the peer-review stage if it does not fit the journal's scope.
• In addition, the manuscript is sent back to the author in case it is not well-written.
• Checking the manuscript by a native English speaker is recommended if it is written in English.
• If the manuscript is found suitable for peer review after the first evaluation made by the editorial office, it is sent to at least two reviewers.

When a manuscript is submitted, it passes through the many different processes at the International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Food Sciences to ensure that quality checks, peer review, production, and article promotion are carried out promptly and to a high standard.


3) PLAGIARISM CHECKING

For each article submitted to the journal, a similarity report prepared automatically with the intihal.net program.

Articles with a Similarity Index over 24% are returned to their authors without being evaluated.

The eligible ones are evaluated by the editor-in-chief for originality, methodology, the importance of the subject covered, and compliance with the journal scope after they have been checked for plagiarism.

Articles accepted for publication in the journal are scanned again before publication, and the similarity index is required to be below 24%.


4) REVIEWER EVALUATION

International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Food Sciences employs a double-blind peer review, where the reviewer and author remain anonymous throughout the process.

Peer review is a serious evaluation procedure for maintaining a high standard of intellectual work. The process is designed to maintain constructive critical evaluation to submissions to ensure that work achieves high academic standards.

Review reports help editors identify the eligibility of a manuscript for publication.

• Manuscripts that pass the editors' initial screening are sent to external expert evaluation by two or more reviewers.
• Manuscripts needing revision are electronically forwarded to the author(s).
• The author(s) should consider the reviewer's comments very carefully and explain each comment or criticism one by one; they should also prepare a detailed explanation in case the author(s) do(es)n’t agree with the reviewer’s critics.
• The editor makes a final decision after consulting revisions and corrections made by the author(s).

Editors may decide to seek assistance from additional editors or reviewers before reaching a final decision. The review process is expected to be completed within 3-6 months after the application. In some cases, longer periods can be inevitable, depending on feedback from reviewers, author response times to revisions, and the number of revisions.
