Articles can be submitted to the JMFS by registering in the "Article Management System" on https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/jmfs web. Articles sent by e-mail will not be taken into consideration.

Articles are examined for compliance with the journal's spelling rules and similarity scanning is performed to prevent plagiarism. Articles are scanned for similarity using the Ithenticate plagiarism scanning program. The overall similarity rate should be less than 20%, If the similarity rate is more than 20%, the study is either rejected or sent back to the author to reduce the similarity rate. The pre-review is completed within a maximum of 20 days.

Studies which go through the pre-review and similarity screening phase, are examined by the relevant editor / field editor in terms of subject, scope, language and academic competence. This review is completed within a maximum of 20 days.

Studies which go through the pre-review and editorial review undergo a confidential double-blind peer review process. According to the double-blind strategy, authors who submit publications to the journal cannot know who the peer reviewers are. Likewise, peer reviewers who evaluate an article cannot know whose article they are evaluating. In other words, the peer review process is conducted by keeping both authors and peer reviewers anonymous to each other. Articles are sent to at least two referees for evaluation. (Click for the Article Evaluation Form) The reports are also stored in the Article Management System.

Authors take into account the feedback, criticisms, and recommendations of the reviewer and the Editorial Board. In case of any disagreement, they have the right to appeal with their justifications. Authors edit the article as per the reports and upload the final version of the article to the system.

The field editor checks whether the author has made the requested corrections in the text. If there is a “Major Revision” requirement in the peer review reports, they send the article to the relevant peer reviewer. If there is an "Acceptance" or "Minor Revision" requirement and the revisions are completed, they can submit the article for language checks (The checking process is completed within a maximum of 20 days.). If it is detected that the corrections have not been made, the editor re-sends the article to the author. If the author does not make the corrections again, the article may be rejected. Articles that are not accepted for publication are not deleted from the system. The process phases and all the files are stored in the system.

Studies which go through the peer-review process are reviewed by the Turkish Language Editor, and if necessary, corrections are requested from the author. The checking process is completed within a maximum of 20 days.
