Editors and Assistant Editors

The articles sent to the journal are evaluated by the editors and assistant editors regardless of the authors' race, ethnicity, gender, worldview and beliefs.

For the articles sent to the journal, assistant editors determined by the editor are appointed. The assistant editor presents his/her opinion on whether the article will be included in the refereeing process by considering the Editorial Preliminary Evaluation Form. The assistant editor may request corrections from the author during

the editorial evaluation stage or make a recommendation to the editor for the rejection of the article without being included in the refereeing process. They make a detailed and constructive evaluation of the articles evaluated by the referees.

There are also articles such as evaluation articles, research notes, references, events, book and movie reviews published in the journal without the need for referee evaluation. In the journal, the distinction between peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed publications is clearly stated. If necessary, the editor can develop comments and suggestions about the category of the journal under which the submitted article can be published, and share this openly with the author. In this case, the final decision belongs to the author and/or editor.

In the articles that will enter the referee process, the editor acts with the responsibility of being the contact person between the assistant editors, the author and the referee. They carry out the refereeing process with academic courtesy, meticulously documenting every stage from the date the article reaches the journal to the publication stage. Regarding the evaluation process, the editor does not hesitate to give an account of the evaluation steps for each article, if necessary (providing that the personal rights of the assistant editors, the author and the referee, and the privacy principles of the journal are observed).

In the event that two referees give different opinions for the article under evaluation , the editor should apply for the evaluation of a third referee.

If the editor has a conflict of interest with the articles sent to the journal or is in a relationship that may cause a conflict of interest, it is entirely up to the assistant editors to include the article in the refereeing process and to follow the publication process. Since the assistant editors evaluate the articles anonymously, the emergence of a conflict of interest between the other editorial staff and the author is prevented. In case of any conflict of interest, the editor should resign from the editorial position. The editorial staff should not use any information obtained from the evaluated article for personal gain.

If the editor and assistant editors detect an error in a published article and this error invalidates the work or important parts of it, contains plagiarism, is unethical, they withdraw the article in question. In this case, the editor and assistant editors are responsible for making them circulate openly to all readers on online platforms by providing a link linking the two versions, as well as a statement that clearly states that the article has been withdrawn and the reason for the retraction.
