Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

The publication process at JIET aims at improving and disseminating information in an objective and respectful manner. Therefore, the procedures in this process have been determined to increase the quality of the studies. With this approach, studies that support and implement the scientific method are emerging. At this point, it is extremely important that all parties involved in the publication process (authors, readers and researchers, publisher, referees and editors) comply with ethical evaluation standards. JIET expects all parties to have the following ethical responsibilities.
The ethical duties and responsibilities below have been written in the light of the guidelines and policies prepared by the Publication Ethics Committee (COPE).

Publishing an article in a peer-reviewed journal is a fundamental building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: author, journal editor, peer reviewer, and publisher.
