JETAS is an open access (JETAS is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access), free of charge, double-blind peer-reviewed, tri-annual, the journal for the dissemination of applied technical scholarship. Peer Review Process All submitted papers will be pre-screened by the Editor to determine suitability for further review (e.g. correct format, area of interest). Papers deemed suitable will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. In case of delay on behalf of a viewer, the reviewer may be substituted by another. In case of excessive delay, the paper will be reviewed by members of the Editorial Board. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from another manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will incur plagiarism sanctions. Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book. Submitted manuscripts that are found to include citations whose primary purpose is to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal, will incur citation manipulation sanctions. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students and laboratory technicians.
Publication Ethics, Malpractice Statement, and Publication Policy
The editorial board pursues the best practice guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). To guarantee the integrity of the published papers, JETAS editors are guided for using COPE’s flowcharts whenever they suspect an ethical issue about the paper they process. The authors, reviewers, editors, and owner of the journal are expected to be strictly committed to ensuring the policy of publication ethics and malpractice, and respect the following statements:
Authors
Papers submitted to JETAS must be original and adhere to a high scientific and technical standard. The authors are expected to strictly follow the policy of publication ethics and malpractice
Copyright
JETAS is a free open-access journal licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). Thus, the authors accept the following conditions:
Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication, with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0) that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgment of its authorship and initial publication in this journal.
Authors grant the JETAS to publish the article and identify itself as the original publisher.
Authors also grant any third party the right to use the article freely as long as its integrity is maintained and its original authors, citation details, and publisher are identified.
Authorship
It is a fundamental condition that articles submitted to JETAS have not been previously published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. After the manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author will not be permitted to make any new additions to the manuscript.
Before publication, the galley proof is always sent to the author for correction. Thus it is solely the author's responsibility for any typographical mistakes which occur in their article as it appears in the Journal. The contents of the manuscript published in the JETAS are the sole responsibility of the authors. Authors should not post their submitted work online in any sense, before or during the submission process, as this may cause nomenclatural problems.
With the submission of the manuscript authors declare that:
All authors of the submitted research paper have directly participated in the planning, execution, or analysis of the study;
All authors of the paper have read and approved the final version submitted;
The contents of the manuscript have not been submitted, copyrighted, or published elsewhere and the visual-graphical materials such as photographs, drawings, pictures, and documents within the article do not have any copyright issue;
The contents of the manuscript will not be copyrighted, submitted, or published elsewhere, while acceptance by the Journal is under consideration;
Authors are expected to keep accurate records of the data and to have an ethical attitude toward processing data since intentional manipulation of datasets to fit the desired results will be considered fraud. Graphics/Illustrations used to present data can only be manipulated to clarify the graphics. If so, the author must ensure that the manipulation does not lead to loss or misinterpretation of data. Techniques used to clarify images must be described in the caption part of the graphic/illustration.
They can not submit a manuscript if they already have a manuscript in process.
Plagiarism and self-plagiarism
Plagiarism is unacceptable and any suspicion of plagiarism will be investigated by the editorial team. The article must be clean in terms of ‘plagiarism’, and the legal and ethical responsibility of the article belongs to the author. Duplication of authors’ previous works (self-plagiarism) should also be avoided, or if necessary, it should be reported transparently and be fully cited in the publication itself.
The objectivity and transparency in research and the principles of ethical and professional conduct have been followed. Authors must cite appropriate and relevant literature in support of the results presented in their manuscript. Authors who already published papers on the same topic are expected to include citations of these papers, but they are expected to avoid excessive and inappropriate self-citation.
There is no page limitation for the papers. That is why data and results gathered in the same framework should not be broken up into smaller publishable units. The authors are expected to publish their results obtained in a single framework as a unique and original publication.
Conflicts of Interest
There is a conflict of interest when someone is influenced in his/her choices or actions by a personal or financial interest such as the recommendation of a reviewer, an editor’s decision, or interpretation of a result by an author. In this case, every suspicion of a conflict of interest should be reported to the editorial team of JETAS.
Authors should declare that they have no potential conflict of interest (financial or non-financial). If any, the Authors must declare all potential interests in a ‘Conflicts of interest’ section, which should explain why the interest may be a conflict. Declared conflicts of interest will be considered by the editor and reviewers and included in the published article. If conflicts of interest are found after publication, this may be embarrassing for the authors, the Editor, and the journal. It may be necessary to publish a corrigendum or reassess the review process.
Human or animal subjects
Authors should declare that their research does not involve any human participants and/or animals. Otherwise, when reporting experiments with human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human/animal experimentation. For manuscripts reporting medical studies involving human/animal participation, authors are required to provide a statement identifying the ethics committee that approved the study and confirming that the study conforms to recognized standards.
License Agreement of the Authors

He/She is authorized by his/her co-authors to enter into these arrangements.
He/She warrants, on behalf of himself/herself and his/her co-authors, that:

It is a fundamental condition that articles submitted to JETAS have not been previously published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. After the manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author will not be permitted to make any new additions to the manuscript.
Before publication, the galley proof is always sent to the author for correction. Thus it is solely the author's responsibility for any typographical mistakes which occur in their article as it appears in the Journal. The contents of the manuscript published in the JETAS are the sole responsibility of the authors. When author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
When errors are identified in published articles, the publisher team ofJETAS will consider what action is required and may consult the editors and the authors’ institution(s). Errors by the authors may be corrected by a corrigendum and errors by the publisher by an erratum. If there are errors that significantly affect the conclusions or there is evidence of misconduct, this may require retraction or an expression of concern following the COPE Retraction Guidelines.
Editors
The editor-in-chief makes the final decision of acceptance or rejection, based on the reviewers’ reports and the recommendation of the field editor in charge of the review process. If there is any conflict of interest between an editor and an author, the editor in question will not be involved in the review and the decision processes.
The “Submission/Managing System” which is used for manuscript submission/processing in JETAS uses a double-blind peer-reviewed system.
The names, affiliations and email addresses entered in our journal site will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of this journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party.
Every suspicion of ethical issues will be investigated by the journal. Any suspicious case on ethical issues, misconduct or conflict of interest can be reported to the editor-in-chief or the field editor who conducts the investigation. Editorial Board and reviewers/authors are encouraged to their opinion on the treatment of ethical issues. In the case of the involvement of other journals, editor in chief will contact the journal to make a common decision if possible.
In the case of plagiarism, the retraction of a publication can be decided. The readers and all persons involved in the decision and publication process of the article and employer of the incriminated author (or reviewer) works will be notified.
Reviewers
Following the Pre-Review process handled by Managing Editor, Manuscripts that conform to journal scope and style will be sent to at least two reviewers by the Area Editor, who will then act as the coordinating editor.
JETAS applies single-blind peer review, which means that reviewers remain anonymous by default.
The reviewers are expected to evaluate the paper in an objective manner. Reviewers are expected to inform the Area Editor for potential conflicts of interest and they should decline to be involved with a submission when they have a financial interest, a recent publication, current submission, or a collaboration. The reviewer must also declare if they have previously discussed the manuscript with the authors.
Confidentiality of the manuscripts they are reviewing should be maintained. Potential reviewers who decline to review a paper are encouraged to state the declining reason.
