The peer review process is vital for maintaining high standards of scholarly communication and improving the quality of journals. It also provides an important support for the researchers who write the articles. Reviewers are people who carefully review each article before it is published and contribute to its improvement. Therefore, carefully selected reviewers' feedback and comments are a basic guideline for informing the editor's decision on a research paper. The peer-review process may warn the authors of any errors or omissions in the studies. In this direction, the aim of the referee evaluation process is to contribute to the emergence of original and qualified scientific publications.

Preliminary assessment

All studies submitted to the Journal of Statistics and Applied Sciences are first evaluated by the editorial board. Studies that are not in the scope of the journal, do not comply with the scientific format and do not comply with the format conditions and publication policy of the journal are rejected without being evaluated by the referee.

Peer Review

Journal of Statistics and Applied Sciences uses the double-blind peer-review system to keep the names of the referees and authors confidential. Studies that pass the preliminary evaluation stage are sent to at least two referees determined by the field editor. Referees are selected according to their areas of expertise.

The referees evaluate the studies sent to them and send the evaluation reports to the field editor. Reviewers can accept, reject or request a revision by the author. For an article to be accepted for publication, it must be accepted by at least two referees.

Final Evaluation

The reports received by the referees are forwarded to the editorial board with the decision of the field editor. The work that reaches the editorial board is made ready for publication by making compliance with the format requirements of the journal and plagiarism control again.

Turkish Language Control: Studies that have passed the referee process are examined by the Turkish Language Editor, and if necessary, corrections are requested from the author.

English Language Control: The works that pass the Turkish language control are reviewed by the English Language Editor, and if necessary, corrections are requested from the author.

Editorial Board Review: The articles that pass technical, academic, and linguistic reviews are reviewed by the Editorial Board, and the final publication status is decided. In case of objection from the members, the Board decides by a majority of votes.

Typesetting and Layout Stage: The works decided to be published by the Editorial Board are ready for publication by typing and layout.
