Article Submission Guide
***The Journal of National Education is currently experiencing a high volume of submissions. As a
result, there is a substantial queue of articles that have either passed the review process or are still
under evaluation for upcoming issues. Due to this, the time required for a new article to progress from
the preliminary review stage to publication may take approximately 600 days. We strongly advise
authors to consider the possibility of a longer-than-expected evaluation process before submitting their
manuscripts. Please note that once an article is submitted to the system, in cases of rejection and
withdrawal, no refund will be issued.
Click here for detailed information on the article review, evaluation, and publication processes of the
Journal of National Education.

When submitting an article to the Journal of National Education, please ensure compliance with
the following guidelines:
1. Before submission, read and adhere to all items in the Editorial Principles. Ensure that all
required documents stated in the Editorial Principles are uploaded to the system during the
application process.
2. Prepare your manuscript using the Article Template and ensure that all specifications within
the template are maintained. After placing your manuscript in the template, only remove the
yellow-highlighted notes. (If your manuscript is accepted, it will be published in its submitted
form. Compliance with the template is therefore mandatory and essential.)
3. Submit an anonymous full-text manuscript in Word format. Ensure that neither the file name
nor the manuscript content includes any names, surnames, or other identifying information
about the author(s). (When uploading anonymous article files to the DergiPark system, name
the file “Full Text_Anonymous.”)
4. Submit a named full-text manuscript in Word format. The article should include author names
and other necessary details in the relevant sections. (When uploading named article files to the
DergiPark system, name the file as “Full Text_Named.”)
5. Upload the Application Petition with complete details, including the article title, article type,
author names, authors' contact information (email, phone, workplace), and ORCID details.
(Name the file as “Application Petition”)
6. Upload the similarity report. Authors will be directed to the intihal.net to generate this report.
The full report must be uploaded in PDF format. (Name the file as “Similarity Report”)
7. Upload the Copyright Transfer Form. Ensure that the form includes the authors' details and
signatures. (Name the file as “Copyright Transfer Form”)
8. Upload the Ethics Committee Permission Certificate. If an ethics committee approval is not
required, authors must upload a document explaining the reason. The institution, date, and
decision number of the Ethics Committee Approval should be stated in the methodology
section of the manuscript. If no ethics approval is needed, the justification should also be
provided in the methodology section. Institutional or personal research permissions do not
replace Ethics Committee Approval. (Name the file as “Ethics Committee Permission
Certificate”)
9. For research conducted in institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education
(central, provincial, or international branches), upload the Ministry’s ‘Research and
Application Permission Certificate.’ If not required, authors must submit a document
explaining the reason. (Name the file as “Research and Application Permission Certificate”)
10. Upload the payment receipt as proof of submission fee payment. Detailed information on fees
is available on the journal’s fee policy page. (Name the file as “Receipt”)

Additionally:
- If a revision is requested, update both the named and anonymous versions of the manuscript
and upload the revised versions over the previous files. Do not create separate additional files.
- If a revision is requested, provide a Reviewer Correction Table detailing the revisions made
and justifications for any suggestions that were not implemented. Upload this document as an
additional file during the revision stage.
- If a revision is requested, update the Article Metadata section on the DergiPark page after each
revision. Ensuring that the metadata aligns with the final version of the manuscript is the
author's responsibility.
- Technical issues or errors encountered during submission are not the responsibility of the
Journal of National Education. If you require assistance, contact the DergiPark Technical
Support Team.
- Due to the high volume of submissions, the evaluation and publication process at the Journal
of National Education may take longer than expected. Authors should consider this time frame
before submission.
- Reasons for manuscript rejection at the preliminary review stage are outlined in the Editorial
Principles of Journal of National Education, Aims and Scope.
- Article submission via email is not accepted, and contacting editorial staff through personal
emails or phone numbers regarding publication matters is not appropriate. The status of
submitted manuscripts is available in the "Status" section of DergiPark for corresponding
authors. Authors are responsible for tracking their submission status through the DergiPark
system and should use the platform’s messaging feature for communication when necessary.

Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Authors of articles published in the journal of National Education are considered to have transferred
all copyrights of their articles to the journal. However, authors remain responsible for the content of
the articles published. All submitted articles, or parts thereof, must not have been previously published
or be in the process of publication elsewhere. Articles published in the journal of National Education
must adhere to research and publication ethics. Plagiarism, duplicate publication, or any form of
unethical conduct will be considered violations. Legal action will be pursued in cases of ethical
violations.

Copyright, Licensing, and Open Access Principles
Milli Egitim Journal adopts an open access policy. All articles published in the journal are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0).
Under this license, users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, and link to the full texts of the articles for non-commercial purposes, provided that appropriate credit is given to the author(s) and the source.
All published content is made available to researchers without financial, legal, or technical barriers, in accordance with the principles of open access.
Authors are required to upload a signed Copyright Transfer Form to the system during the manuscript submission process. This form grants the necessary legal permission for publication and regulates the rights between the author(s) and the journal.
In addition, the following sections included in the manuscript template must be completed and added to the manuscript file:
• Author Contributions Statement

These sections are essential for ensuring transparency, adherence to ethical standards, and compliance with scientific publishing norms.

Ethical Principles for the Use of Artificial Intelligence
The journal of National Education requires that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in scientific
research adhere to ethical standards. AI can serve as a supportive tool in processes such as literature
review, language correction, and data analysis. However, the researcher remains responsible for
academic and scientific integrity. The stages and methods of AI usage must be clearly outlined. The
type, function, and scope of the AI tool used should be detailed in the methodology section, and the
accuracy, scientific validity, and ethical compliance of AI-generated outputs must remain the authors'
responsibility.
AI should not replace the researcher’s original contributions, such as hypothesis generation,
discussion, or conclusion formulation. Given AI's potential for bias, factual errors, and reliability
concerns, authors should be mindful of these risks and ensure that all ethical guidelines for AI use are
followed. If AI contributed to the research, this must be clearly acknowledged; failure to do so will be
considered an ethical violation and a breach of the journal's publication policy.
Ethical Approval
In line with regulations of TRDizin that came into effect in 2020, articles involving human participants
must include an "Ethical Approval Document" with the submission. Ethical approval is mandatory for
all research involving human participants. Information regarding the ethical approval status and the
approval document should be included in the methodology section of the article. Articles lacking the
necessary ethical approval document or missing this information in the methodology section will not
be considered for evaluation.
