Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

Öneri is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and to meeting and upholding the following principles of Core Practices prepared in accordance with the guidelines and policies developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for journal editors.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published, or scheduled and/or evaluated to be published in another journal.
Öneri adheres to the standards of COPE for publication ethics. Therefore, in cases of misconduct or violation of publication ethics, the journal will take the publication ethics flowcharts developed by COPE (https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts) as a reference.
In accordance with the double-blind peer review process, Öneri preserves the anonymity of authors and reviewers when submitted articles are sent for review.
It is the journal’s responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of any information regarding authors. However, such information may be shared in a possible enquiry in order to investigate any allegations of misconduct. Öneri defines its principles regarding any allegations of misconduct in accordance with the guidelines prepared by the COPE and shares these principles with the stakeholders on its website.
Text recycling, that is using the chapters of a single text in various publications of the same author without any reference, is unacceptable for Öneri. In such cases, the journal acts according to the relevant guidelines determined by the COPE.
Öneri protects and supports freedom of expression under all circumstances. Moreover, the journal considers any racist, sexist or discriminatory content as hate speech and uses its right to refuse such contents without sending them for review.
In case of a conflict of interest regarding an article, the journal openly supports intellectual and ethical standards; and defines relevant ethical principles that authors, reviewers, editor and editorial board should adhere to.
In case of a conflict of interest regarding an article, the journal suspends the peer review process until the ambiguity is clarified; and it has the authority to request the Ethics Board Waiver Form, Interview Consent Form and other documents that need to be submitted from authors regarding their articles.
Öneri is sensitive and responsible for publishing edited contents, commentaries, apologies and refutations.
Editorial board of the journal are obliged to follow legal advices in case that repetitions in an article, that is coinciding texts in two different publications, violate any intellectual property rights.

Principles for Handling Allegations of Misconduct

Öneri adopts COPE’s guidelines regarding “allegations of misconduct” in cases of misconduct and violation. Hence, the journal defines in detail the liabilities of the publisher, editors, reviewers, the Scientific Board and authors prior, during and after the publication process in the Publication Ethics.

In cases when an article is submitted to various publishers, comparing different versions of a single work submitted to various journals and explanations of authors and enquirers regarding the work in question enables to cooperate and make an effort in cases of suspected misconduct and violation and to act accordingly together with enquirers/authors and/or their institutions.
Having regard to the significance of confidentiality in scientific publication process, Öneri shares information regarding authors and reviewers only in order to prevent suspected misconducts and to fulfill the obligation to handle such cases.
Journal editorial board and theme editors have to make the first enquiries in suspected cases before sharing such information. Thus, sharing information is only at stake when the author does not respond, provides insufficient explanation or the said allegation of misconduct might affect more than one journal.

Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

Ethical violations such as plagiarism are unacceptable by Öneri and it is primarily author(s)’s responsibility to ensure that submitted articles do not contain such violations. All Submitted manuscripts are first passed through iThenticate software and studies presenting more than 20% similarity ratio are automatically rejected.
