* Our journal is currently undergoing the TR Index monitoring process.
Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Faculty of Law Journal (TNKÜHFD) is a peer-reviewed scientific publication meeting international standards. Our journal has adopted the Continuous Publication model to ensure the fastest and highest quality dissemination of academic knowledge. Every article that successfully completes the double-blind peer review process and passes editor approval is published immediately after layout. This model allows for the rapid evaluation of authors' works and minimizes waiting times. This allows works to be included in the literature from the moment they are accepted, gaining visibility in national and international indexes
While TNKÜ Law Faculty Journal accepts studies in general legal disciplines, provided they touch upon the field of biolaw, it aims to specialize at the intersection of life sciences and law within the framework of a strategic vision. In this context, our journal is a specialized platform that prioritizes original research in the field of Bio-law, particularly in medicine, health, food safety, agriculture, environment, climate, and genetics law. Our journal, published under the auspices of the Faculty of Law at Namık Kemal University in Tekirdağ, continues to be a pioneering and dynamic point of reference in the field of biolaw.
Review Process
Continuous Publication Model
The Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Faculty of Law Journal (TNKÜHFD) has adopted the "Continuous Publication" model in line with the speed and accessibility requirements of the digital age. In this model, the waiting periods for "issue completion" in the traditional understanding of journal publishing are completely eliminated. Every article that successfully completes the peer review and layout processes is published directly in the journal's active issue for that year without being held in a pool. Thanks to this dynamic structure, the DOI numbers of the studies are activated immediately, and the works begin to be indexed in global databases, providing their authors with early citation potential and immediate academic visibility.
Double Peer Review
The strongest guarantee of our publication quality and scientific impartiality is our "Double-Blind Peer Review" system, which we apply without compromise. Every work submitted to our journal is first subjected to a rigorous preliminary evaluation by the editorial board in terms of scope, ethical principles, and academic quality. Works that pass this stage are sent to at least two independent external reviewers who are experts in their field and whose academic competence is certified. Throughout the process, the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept completely confidential, ensuring that the evaluation is based solely on scientific merit. Especially in specialized fields such as bio-law, the constructive feedback provided by our reviewers contributes to transforming articles into internationally recognized reference texts.
