The Maarif Schools International Journal of Educational Sciences (MM-IJES), published by Maarif Schools Publications, is issued biannually in July and December. The journal accepts articles in Turkish and English. All article submissions and editorial processes are managed through the DergiPark platform, from which articles can also be submitted. Articles with fewer than 4,000 words will not be considered for review.

Submitted articles must be original and not previously published or under consideration elsewhere. Initially assessed by editors for adherence to writing standards, submissions are then reviewed by at least two referees. If both referees approve, the article is deemed ready for publication. If one referee dissents while the other approves, the article is sent to a third referee, whose review determines the outcome of the submission process.

Each article must have a title in both Turkish and English, along with Turkish and English ABSTRACT. Below the abstract, 3 to 5 keywords that describe the article must be included. Both the Turkish and English abstracts should encapsulate the aim, method, and findings of the study. Additionally, articles should conclude with an extended abstract in English, which should be between 500-750 words and devoid of subsections, meticulously prepared in terms of grammar and expression, and should reflect the international scope of the research and the journal.

Before being uploaded to the journal, research articles must be accompanied by a plagiarism report, with a plagiarism or similarity rate under 15%. Our journal primarily utilizes ithenticate reports.

As of 2020, a report from the ethics committee is mandatory for all submissions. When uploading the manuscript to the system, the ethics committee report must also be uploaded. For submissions that do not require ethics committee approval, a declaration form signed and scanned by the corresponding author must be uploaded, stating that no ethics committee approval is necessary.

The Maarif Schools International Journal of Educational Sciences (MM-IJES) adheres to the guidelines prepared by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in 2017. According to these guidelines:

Editor's Responsibilities

The editor does not disclose any personal information related to submissions.

Referees' Responsibilities
Referees must evaluate submissions impartially. If they are unable to review within the stipulated time, find the submission outside their expertise, or identify ethical concerns, they should inform the editor.

Authors' Responsibilities
Authors must adhere to publication ethics. They should clearly demonstrate the originality and objectivity of their work. Simultaneous submission of an article to multiple journals is not acceptable. The authors, including the submitting author, must confirm that there is no conflict of interest with any person, institution, law, etc.
