“Double-Blind Refereeing” system is applied in the journal of Millî Eğitim. The evaluation process is conducted in such a way that the authors and the reviewers do not know each other's identities. The identities of the referees who refuse to evaluate the manuscript are also concealed.

Due to the principle of “Blind Reviewing”, the communication between the referees and the author is carried out through the Dergipark system through the Editorial Unit, not directly between them. Articles are sent to three reviewers. The referees are given 15 days to accept or reject the invitation to review the article. If the referee refuses to review, a new referee is appointed. If accepted, the anonymous text of the article and the review report are sent. The time given to the referees to review the article is 15 days. However, if this period is insufficient, a second 15-day period is given. The refereeing process continues until 2 positive or 2 negative reports are received. Referees may approve, disapprove, suggest corrections, or suggest corrections and ask to see the manuscript again.

Considering all these processes, it is not possible for the journal to make a commitment to the authors about the publication period. However, it is envisaged that all manuscripts will complete the refereeing process and be placed in the publication queue within 6-9 months at the latest, and this prediction is realized 95% of the time.

The reason why some manuscripts, albeit few in number, exceed this period is due to the need to appoint new referees in cases such as referees submitting their reports late, withdrawing from refereeing for various reasons, not notifying in time that they cannot write a report, preferring electronic communication, or other reasons that cannot be concluded with the existing referees.

According to the evaluation system called “blind refereeing” by TÜBİTAK/ULAKBİM, which is applied by many national or international scientific journals, the name of the referee is not given to the author at any stage. Referees can only see the author's name as a reader of the journal if an article they have refereed is published. The information about the author of an unpublished manuscript is never and under no circumstances communicated to the referees. The correspondence with authors and referees, which is kept in electronic media, is kept in a highly transparent manner and made available for viewing and review by the relevant authorities, especially TÜBİTAK/ULAKBİM, as well as by the authors in case of disputes. Due to the high number of article submissions to the journal of Millî Eğitim and the large number of correspondences for each article, referee reports are not sent to the authors. However, if the authors wish to see the report, the reports are sent with the names of the referees hidden.

Journal of Millî Eğitim considers compliance with the principle of “blind refereeing” as a prerequisite for initiating the review process. Accordingly, authors are required to conduct the whole process via https://dergipark.org.tr/milliegitim. Authors are responsible for not contacting the editorial department, the editorial board and the secretariat of the journal to learn the referee information, to comply with the rules of confidentiality about their articles, and to ensure that the referees maintain confidentiality about the articles they review.
