Author Guide

1.Articles submitted for publication in our journal must be prepared in accordance with the Editorial Guidelines.

2.Articles submitted for publication in our journal should be prepared according to the journal's article writing format.

Initially, the writing format of the article uploaded to the journal is examined. Articles must be uploaded as Word files so that referees can add comments. The "Abstract" and "Öz" (Summary in Turkish) sections are examined by referees when evaluating the invitation. Therefore, these sections should include the objective, method, results, and evaluations of the study. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words. For articles written in English, the "Abstract" section should come before the "Öz" section. The article should not include information outside the journal format, such as university/institution emblems.


Articles that receive a revision request from referees are edited by the author(s) in line with the referees' requests and then resent to the journal for publication. The revised article should be in Word file format, and the corrected sections should be highlighted in different colors according to different referee requests. Explanation notes should be added to the corrected sections, stating which referee's opinions were followed in the revision and the reasons for the editing decisions. The author's identity should not be disclosed in the explanation notes.

Once the peer review process is completed, and the article is accepted by the referees, the final revised version of the article is reviewed one last time by the journal's editorial group for language, writing, format, and citation (iThenticate) checks. If necessary, the author is asked to edit the article in line with linguistic and academic writing rules. Articles that comply with academic and linguistic grammar writing rules are accepted for publication. Authors whose articles are accepted for publication must sign the Copyright Transfer form in the system and upload the final version of their articles to DergiPark before publication.
