Manuscript Submission Requirements

Manuscript submissions must include the following four essential components:

1. Title Page: The title page should include:

• Manuscript title
• Author name(s) (the corresponding author should be indicated)
• Email addresses
• Author affiliation(s), address(es), and ORCID information
• Statements and Declarations (Conflicts of Interest, previous presentation of the study as an oral presentation, derivation from a thesis, etc.)
• Acknowledgments (of people, grants, funds, etc.)

2. Ethics Committee Report: Ethics committee approval document required for the research.

3. Anonymous Manuscript File: Main manuscript file with author information and metadata removed (for double-blind peer review).

4. Plagiarism Report: Plagiarism screening report documenting the originality of the manuscript.

Important Note: The "Statements and Declarations" section should ONLY appear on the title page and not in the main manuscript file. Although this section will be included in the published article, it should be kept separate from the main file to maintain anonymity for peer review.

Format-Free Submission: "Your Paper Your Way"

The Journal of Education Faculty at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University has adopted the "Your Paper Your Way" approach for manuscript submissions. This author-friendly initiative aims to simplify the submission process and reduce the time and effort authors spend on formatting their papers before initial review. There are no strict formatting requirements for initial submission, but all manuscripts must contain the following essential elements:

• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Materials and Methods
• Results
• Conclusions and Discussion

If your article includes videos or other supplementary materials, these should also be included in your initial submission for peer review. It is recommended that you divide your article into clearly defined sections as suggested below.

Word Count

Authors should limit their manuscript submissions to a maximum of 8000 words (eccluding references). The acceptance of longer articles to the journal is subject to the decision of the editorial board.

Article Structure

PUBLICATION ETHICS

Scientific Research Ethics

• Scientific methodologies are employed for data acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and the derivation of findings. Outcomes lacking in scientific rigor cannot be presented as legitimate research results.
• During research endeavors, it is imperative to adhere diligently to both national and international conventions and to secure requisite permissions from competent authorities.
• The data acquired through scholarly investigations must be employed strictly within the parameters and formats specified by relevant authorities. It is imperative that any data deemed confidential be safeguarded accordingly and not disclosed.
• Researchers bear the responsibility to promptly communicate any untoward circumstances stemming from their research endeavors to the pertinent individuals and institutions. Moreover, every researcher possesses the prerogative to abstain from participation in the research should such adverse circumstances manifest.
• Peer-reviewed articles represent scholarly endeavors grounded in the rigorous application of scientific methods, thereby fostering objectivity. All stakeholders in the publication process, including publishers, editors, authors, reviewers, and readers, are expected to adhere to ethical principles for the promotion of scientific knowledge. In this regard, the principles of "publication ethics" and "open access" necessitate the unwavering commitment of all parties involved to ethical standards, as articulated in the guidelines and policies established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), such as the "Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors" and the "COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors."
• Should the utilization of fraudulent or fabricated data by the author(s) of a manuscript be identified, the respective institution employing the author(s) will be promptly notified, and the manuscript will be rejected. The prerogative to request the author(s) to provide the original raw data used in the manuscript is retained by both the editorial board members of the journal and the reviewers.

The Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI)

• About the use of AI in scientific works, the Journal agrees with COPE’s statement (https://publicationethics.org/cope-position-statements/ai-author) on that manner: “The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT or Large Language Models in research publications is expanding rapidly. COPE joins organisations, such as WAME and the JAMA Network among others, to state that AI tools cannot be listed as an author of a paper. AI tools cannot meet the requirements for authorship as they cannot take responsibility for the submitted work. As non-legal entities, they cannot assert the presence or absence of conflicts of interest nor manage copyright and license agreements. Authors who use AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be transparent in disclosing in the Materials and Methods (or similar section) of the paper how the AI tool was used and which tool was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.”
  
• Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Journal of Education Faculty strictly prohibits any section of an article from being authored, either wholly or in part, by Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.AI tools may, however, be employed for purposes such as generating images or graphics, enhancing spelling and grammar, and augmenting the overall readability of the article. In such instances, authors are required to provide a clear and comprehensive elucidation regarding the application of AI tools in their manuscript and in their Applicant Information Form. It is paramount to emphasize that the author(s) bear full responsibility for the authenticity and originality of the content produced.
  
  

Ethical Responsibilities of the Publisher

Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, which serves as the publisher of the Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Journal of Education Faculty, constitutes a publicly funded educational institution.

• Competing interests include both financial and non-financial interests, such as current academic affiliations, employment, consultancies, professional relationships, advisory positions, and board memberships.

Ethical Responsibilities of the Editorial Board and Editors

Publication Decisions and Authority

The Editorial Board assumes comprehensive responsibility for overseeing all stages of the articles submitted to the journal. Editors are solely and independently responsible for deciding which submitted articles should be published, with decisions always based on the validation of the work and its importance to researchers and readers. The Board exercises independent judgment, guided by considerations of public welfare rather than personal interests.

Editorial Independence

The association between the Publisher and the Editorial Board is firmly grounded in a policy of autonomy. The decisions made by the editors remain entirely separate from the influence of the publisher and any other individuals or entities. This independence is essential to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record.

Evaluation Criteria

When assessing articles for publication, editors are guided by principles of originality, scholarly contribution, and relevance to both the readership and the broader research community. They meticulously evaluate aspects such as originality, scholarly contribution, clarity of expression, content, and the validity and reliability of the submitted work.

Peer Review Process

The Editorial Board ensures that the peer review process is fair, unbiased, and timely. Research articles must typically be reviewed by at least two external and independent reviewers, and where necessary, editors seek additional opinions. Editors select reviewers with suitable expertise in the relevant field, taking account of the need for appropriate, inclusive and diverse representation.

Blind Review and Confidentiality

Editors adhere to the policies of blind peer review and evaluation processes, ensuring the confidentiality of authors' personal information while facilitating impartial evaluations within stipulated timelines. The Editorial Board protects the confidentiality of all material submitted to the journal and all communications with reviewers, unless otherwise agreed with the relevant authors and reviewers.

Fair Play

Editors evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors. The Editorial Board's policies encourage transparency and complete, honest reporting, ensuring that peer reviewers and authors have a clear understanding of what is expected of them.

Assignment of Articles and Reviewer Management

Editors conscientiously dispatch articles to field editors and reviewers, taking into account their areas of professional expertise, and are committed to ensuring impartial and independent evaluations. They curate a diverse and extensive pool of reviewers, which is regularly updated to maintain its relevance.

Conflict of Interest Management

Any potential editorial conflicts of interest must be declared prior to the appointment of the editor, and then updated if and when new conflicts arise. Editors must not be involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues. During the evaluation processes, editors rigorously assess the presence of any potential conflicts of interest or collaborations between authors and reviewers.

Prevention of Academic Misconduct

The Editorial Board bears the responsibility of safeguarding the intellectual property rights of authors throughout the publication processes and ensuring the prevention of unethical conduct, including plagiarism and inappropriate citation practices. Editors proactively thwart non-scientific behaviors that contravene established academic ethical norms.

Use of Similarity Checking Tools

The Editorial Board utilizes Intihal.net platform to verify the originality of submissions and to detect potential plagiarism or duplicate publication.

Human and Animal Rights Protection

Editors prioritize the protection of human and animal rights within submitted articles, underscoring the necessity of obtaining explicit and documented consent from all participants mentioned in the articles. Articles lacking such ethical committee approval for participants and experimental investigation permits are subject to rejection.

Policy Implementation and Communication

Editors oversee the enforcement of journal publication processes in accordance with publishing policies and guidelines, provide stakeholders involved in the publication process with timely updates on policy developments, and develop training programs as needed. They maintain effective and systematic communication with all stakeholders engaged in the publication processes, and convene regular meetings to facilitate collaboration and coordination.

Data Protection

Editors place a premium on safeguarding the personal data of individuals involved in the assessment of articles, including authors, referees, and readers.

Research Misconduct Management

Editors proactively implement measures to mitigate research misconduct. In cases of complaints regarding breaches of professional conduct, they engage in an impartial inquiry, sharing their objective findings on the matter.

Error Correction

Editors facilitate the rectification of errors, discrepancies, or any misleading elements identified in published articles.

Intellectual Property Protection

Editors are committed to upholding the intellectual property rights of the articles they publish and safeguarding the rights of both the journal and its authors in cases of infringement. They also take precautionary measures to prevent the content of published articles from infringing upon the intellectual property rights of other publications, conducting thorough authenticity and similarity assessments.

Journal Quality and Development

The Editorial Board continuously endeavors to enhance and elevate the scholarly quality of the journal. Editors should ensure that the journal's aims, scope, and content respond to changes in the field of study and incorporate newly-emerging work.

Records Management

The Editorial Board maintains electronic records of each article and establishes incentive policies for both authors and referees.

Openness to Critique

Editors welcome and consider constructive critiques of articles published in the journal, affording authors the opportunity to respond to such feedback.

*Special Issue Editors

Special Issue Editors fulfill a temporary role within our journal, serving for a defined period to coordinate content on specific topics of significant interest to our readership. These editors are responsible for inviting contributions and organizing special themed issues that bring together multiple authors focusing on a particular subject area. Appointments to these positions are made based on recommendations from the journal's Editorial Board, with final approval from the publisher. The specific duration of service is clearly established during the appointment process, after which the Special Issue Editor's responsibilities and authorities within the journal conclude. Special Issue Editors maintain full accountability for their editorial decisions and activities throughout their term. These temporary editorial positions provide valuable opportunities for scholars to gain experience in editorial work and may potentially lead to consideration for more permanent roles within the journal's editorial structure.
