The Journal of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University is an international, peer-reviewed journal. The peer-review process is one of the most critical processes that determine the scientific integrity of the journal. The Journal of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University subjects the articles submitted to the journal to a three-stage evaluation process with a sense of responsibility.

The decision of the editor regarding articles that are not within the scope of the journal, and/or not uploaded correctly/completely into the system, and/or not prepared according to the journal article writing rules:

If the article contains or is likely to contain plagiarism, the article is rejected directly by the editor. The decision is notified to the author.

The journal uses a double-blind peer review system. The blind peer review evaluation system is considered an important process in improving the quality of scientific publications.

In the double-blind peer review system, the identities of the reviewers and the authors are kept confidential from each other; no communication is allowed between them. During the process, any writing and/or symbol that may reveal the author's identity on the manuscript is not allowed. The reviewer directly sends the evaluation reports to the journal editorial board; the editor forwards these reports to the author. Feedbacks are also made through the editorial office.

In this context, the journal has an "Advisory Board" and a "Peer Review Board" consisting of faculty members working at universities domestically and internationally. For articles for which the decision to proceed to peer review is made, at least two expert reviewers in their fields are determined from among the members of the journal advisory board and/or peer review board, considering the subject of the article, and the article is sent  to these reviewers through the online dedicated system. If deemed necessary by the editor, reviewers can also be appointed from outside the journal advisory board and/or peer review board. Reviewers report the result of their scientific examination on the article to the editor via the system with the "Peer Review Report". The reviewer specifies one of the following decisions in his/her report:

For acceptance of the article for publication, the "positive" opinion of at least two reviewers is sought. If one reviewer gives a "positive" opinion and the other gives a "negative" opinion, the article is sent to a third reviewer.

If there are correction requests and/or suggestions in the reviewer reports, the editor forwards the reviewer reports to the responsible author and requests that the specified corrections be made within 15 days at the latest. Failure to make the specified corrections within this period may be considered a reason for the article to be rejected by the editor.

The editor completes the peer review process by sending two "favourable" reviewer opinions regarding the article to the journal Editorial Board.
