Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
PUBLICATION ETHICS
Each study sent to JEF is subject to plagiarism checks during the preliminary review process. Accordingly, studies with a similarity rate of over 15% in the preliminary review conducted by JEF editors are not evaluated.
JEF is based on the obligations determined by COPE (Code of Conduct for Journal Editors) regarding publication ethics and misconduct for editors, authors and referees in journal publishing.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF EDITORS
JEF editors are responsible for the content and publication quality of the journal and have the right to negotiate with referees when making publication decisions in this context. The JEF editor-in-chief and editors comply with the following principles during the evaluation process within the framework of scientific and academic acceptances:
1. Impartiality and publisher freedom: Editors evaluate submitted article proposals by taking into account their suitability for the scope of the journal, the importance and originality of the work. Editors do not take into account the race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality or political views of the author/s submitting the article proposal. Other institutions than the journal editorial board cannot influence the decision to correct or publish.
2. Confidentiality: Editors do not share information about a submitted manuscript with anyone other than the corresponding author, referees, and the editorial board.
3. Disclosure and disagreements: Editors and editorial board members do not use unpublished information presented in a submitted manuscript for their own research purposes without the express written permission of the authors.
4. Publishing decision: Editors ensure that all manuscripts accepted for publication are peer-reviewed by at least two expert referees in the field. Editors are responsible for deciding which work to publish from the submitted manuscripts, based on the validity of the work in question, its importance to researchers and readers, the comments of the referees, and other legal requirements.
5. Ethical concerns: Editors will take measures when ethical concerns arise regarding a submitted manuscript or published article. Any reported unethical publishing behavior, even if it occurs years after publication, will be investigated. Editors follow COPE Flowcharts in case of ethical concerns. If ethical issues are significant, corrections, retractions may be applied or concerns about the subject may be published in the journal.
