The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and their supporting institutions. Peer-reviewed articles support and shape scientific methods. Therefore, it is important for all parties involved in publishing, authors, journal editors, referees and publishing organizations to agree on the standards of expected ethical behavior:
1. Authorship
The bibliography list should be complete.
Plagiarism and fake data must not be included.
The same research should not be attempted to be published in more than one journal, and it should comply with scientific research and publication ethics.
Situations that violate scientific research and publication ethics are as follows:
a) Plagiarism: Presenting the ideas, methods, data, practices, writings, figures or works of others as their own work, in whole or in part, without attribution in accordance with scientific rules,

c) Distortion: To falsify research records and obtained data, to present methods, devices and materials not used in the research as if they were used, to ignore the data that are not suitable for the research hypothesis, to manipulate the data and/or results in order to fit the relevant theory or assumptions, falsify or shape research results in their own interests,
d) Republishing: To present more than one work for associate professorship exam evaluations and academic promotions, containing the same results of a research as if they are separate works
e) Slicing: Presenting the results of a research as separate works for the evaluation of associate professorship exams and for academic promotions, by dividing the results of a research in a way that violates the integrity of the research, and by making multiple publications without deploying reference to one another,
f) Unfair authorship: Including people, who do not contribute actively, among the authors, not including those, who contribute actively, among the authors, changing the order of authors inappropriately and without reason, removing the names of those, who contributed actively, from the work at the time of publication or in subsequent editions; to include one’s name among the authors wielding his/her influence,
