Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Publication Ethics
The governance structure of JARNAS and its acceptance procedures are transparent and designed to ensure the highest quality of published material. Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences adheres to the TR Index Principles of Ethics and the international standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
In situations such as manipulating and distorting the data used in the articles and using make-up data are detected, this situation will be officially reported to the institutions of the author(s), and the manuscript will be rejected. The journal has the right to request the output files of the authors' analysis results according to the feedback given by the editors and/or referees.
Notification of the Editor for the Unethical Cases
In case of encountering an unethical case regarding editors, referees, and authors or the manuscript in an early view or in the review process that does not comply with ethical principles, it should be reported to jarnas@comu.edu.tr e-mail address.
Publisher’s Ethical Responsibilities
Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences is in the public interest and is non-profit.
Editors are faculty members who hold at least a doctorate.
Editorial Board consists of an Editor-in-Chief, Editors, Section Editors, a Statistics Editor, Language Editors, Layout Editors, and Production Editors.
Until the end of 2024, articles authored or co-authored by the Editors of the journal were limited to a maximum of 1/10 (10%) of the total number of articles published per year; as of 2025, this quota has been reduced to 0 (zero), and manuscripts authored or co-authored by the Editors or the Owner/Publisher of the journal are not accepted for publication under any circumstances in order to ensure full editorial impartiality and to eliminate any potential conflict of interest.
Responsibilities of Editorial Board
Editorial Board is responsible for every manuscript submitted to the journal.
Editorial Board regularly tries to improve the journal and increase its publication quality.
Editorial Board determines and implements the journal’s policies, such as publication, blind review, and ethical principles.
Editorial Board assesses whether intellectual property rights have been observed and checks manuscripts and journals for unscientific and unethical behaviors - e.g., plagiarism.
Editorial Board is responsible for appointing an expert reviewer to process manuscripts.
Editorial Board is responsible for managing the review process.
Ethical Responsibilities of the Editorial Board
While deciding whether to publish submitted manuscripts, Editors pay attention to considering the original value and similarity rate of the manuscripts, their contribution to the literature, the validity and reliability of the research method, the clarity of the language, and the journal’s purpose and scope.
Editors carry out the policies of blind review and review process, among the journal’s publishing policies, keep confidential the identity information of Reviewers, and ensure each manuscript is reviewed objectively and on time.
Editors send manuscripts by taking notice of Editors’ and Reviewers’ fields of expertise, and they pay attention to an objective and independent review of the manuscript.
Editors endeavor to ensure the Reviewers’ diversity and change.
Editors protect personal data in reviewed manuscripts.
Editors protect human rights in the manuscripts and document the participants’ explicit consent. They reject the manuscripts if the authors do not have the Ethics Committee’s approval of the manuscripts’ participants.
Editors make provisions against misconduct. If there are misconduct complaints, they make an objective investigation and share the complaints’ findings.
Editors consider the consistent criticism of manuscripts published in the journal and provide the right to reply to Author for the criticism.
Editors investigate the complaints submitted to the journal and make necessary statements.
Ethical Responsibilities of Reviewers
In reviewing the manuscripts, the blind refereeing principle is applied.
Reviewers do not contact directly with the authors. The manuscript review forms, the notes specified on the manuscript, and requests for correction are conveyed to the Author by Editors through the journal management system.
Reviewers must only accept manuscripts related to their field of expertise.
Reviewers should review the manuscripts with constructive comments by academic ethics principles and avoid personal comments containing insults and hostility.
Reviewers should review their accepted manuscripts within the time specified.
Reviewers should provide clear reasons for acceptance or refusal.
The report you prepared must include details. The reference-excluded similarity report of the manuscript is available in the Editorial System.
Reviewers do not request Author to add Reviewers’ articles as a reference if it is not required.
Reviewers avoid personal comments containing insults and hostility.
Ethical Responsibilities of Authors
Author should not submit to the Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences a manuscript they have published elsewhere or submitted to be published elsewhere.
The manuscript submitted by Author should be original.
Author should pay attention to ethical principles for references in the manuscript.
The names of people who do not contribute to the manuscript should not be added as Author.
It should not be suggested to change the order of Author, remove Author, or add Author for the manuscript submitted for publication.
If information or data about the manuscript is requested from Author during the review process, Author should provide Editors’ asked information.
At least one of the authors must hold a doctoral degree.
Master's or doctoral students are not allowed to submit papers derived from their theses without their primary (and second, if any) supervisor's name mentioned.
If the paper does not feature the supervisor's name, Author must upload a waiver form (as an additional file) signed by the supervisor(s) stating the paper has not been derived from Author's master's thesis/doctoral dissertations.
Author should provide Ethics Committee’s approval for the research that requires quantitative or qualitative data collection methods such as experiments, questionnaires, scales, interviews, observations, and focus group studies. The document indicating the Ethics Committee decision should be uploaded with the manuscript’s application to the system.
Research Ethics
The journal upholds the highest standards of research integrity and ethical conduct in all submitted manuscripts. Authors are expected to conduct and report their studies honestly, transparently, and in compliance with accepted academic and legal ethical principles.
Any form of unethical behavior is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, misleading or incorrect information, duplicate or simultaneous submission to more than one journal, and inappropriate authorship practices. Detailed rules regarding similarity and plagiarism are provided in the Plagiarism Policy.
Authorship transparency is an essential component of research ethics. All listed authors must have made a substantial academic contribution to the study. Misrepresentation or omission of contributors is considered unethical conduct. Legal and publication rights are further explained in the Copyright Statement and Licensing Policy.
For studies involving human participants, animals, personal data, surveys, interviews, experiments, or observational methods, authors must obtain the necessary ethical committee approvals and informed consent documents prior to submission. The journal may request official approval documents at any stage of the review process.
Authors are also expected to comply with the ethical responsibilities and editorial standards stated in the relevant policy sections of the journal. Failure to comply with research ethics principles may result in rejection, withdrawal of the manuscript, or notification to the relevant institutions when deemed necessary.
