Editorial
It is our proud to inform all our readers that, starting from 2019 issues, Kocaeli Journal of Science and Engineering (KOJOSE) has been accepted to be indexed by TR Dizin. Considering that KOJOSE has been publishing issues for a couple years, it is a great opportunity and success for us to be indexed by TR Dizin, the most prestigious index of Turkey. Furthermore, it has been indexed by Cite Factor, Asos Index, Google Scholar, Road and Crossref. In the near future, we will do our best to be indexed by other prestigious international indexes. In this regard, I would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation to the Rector of Kocaeli University, Prof. Dr. Sadettin Hülagü, for his continuous support and encouragement. I also would like to thank Associate Editors Prof. Dr. Murat Hoşöz, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hikmet Hakan Gürel and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mihriban Civan for their invaluable efforts in various stages of preparing the journal. Our Production Editor Assist. Prof. Dr. Recep Kaya Göktaş and Lecturer Yusuf Yağcı, Assistant Editors Assist. Prof. Dr. Alp Eren Şahin and R. A. Abdurrahman Gün, Language Editors Lecturer İsmail Hakkı Paslı, Dr. Sajjad Ahmad Khan and Dr. Mehveş Feyza Akkoyunlu, Secretary Durmuş İmat, all Section Editors, Advisory Board Members as well as our Authors and Reviewers also have share in our success, and they deserve my deepest appreciation. As a result of the significant disruption caused by the COVID19 pandemic, many journals including KOJOSE have difficulty in meeting the publishing timelines. Therefore, we sometimes publish our new issues with a little delay. I hope that our authors and readers will tolerate us. Finally, I would like to invite the investigators and scientists from the related branches of science and engineering to submit their quality manuscripts for publication in KOJOSE.
