• The articles uploaded to the system are evaluated by the editor or field editors for compliance with the spelling rules. As a result of this evaluation, if there are any corrections that need to be made by the author, the article is returned to the author with a request for correction by the editors.

• Articles that do not comply with the spelling rules are never sent to the referees.

• Our journal scans all submitted articles to prevent plagiarism. The similarity rate should not exceed 20%. In addition, the rate of plagiarism/similarity in a single source should not exceed 3%. Turnitin and iThenticate programs are taken into consideration for plagiarism/similarity report.

• The referee evaluation process is initiated for manuscripts that are found suitable for evaluation in terms of writing principles and plagiarism screening. At least two referees are appointed for the evaluation of the manuscript approved by the editor.

• Referee and author names are kept mutually confidential. Double-blind refereeing system is valid.

• The manuscript that receives two positive referee reports from the field evaluation is entitled to be published. The manuscript receiving one positive and one negative referee report is sent to a third referee and the publication of the manuscript is determined in accordance with the report of the third referee. An article receiving two negative reports is rejected for publication.

• The referees may request to see the manuscript once more before publication. If this request is indicated in the report, the corrected version of the text is uploaded back to the system by the author to be re-evaluated by the referee. In this case, the referee will re-evaluate and report the article within a reasonable period of time.

• Authors can object to the referee reports within a reasonable framework. The objections are reviewed by the journal management and, if deemed appropriate, different referees may be consulted on the subject.

• The manuscripts whose refereeing process is completed are reviewed by the language editors of our journal. If deemed necessary, revisions regarding language and spelling are requested from the authors. The revisions made by the authors are reviewed and approved by the language editors.

• The articles that pass the technical, academic and linguistic reviews are prepared for publication by typesetting and layout and published in the next issue.
