Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

Editorial Duty of Confidentiality

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi's editors treat all submitted manuscripts as confidential documents, which means they will not divulge information about a manuscript to anyone without the authors' permission. During the process of manuscript review the following people may also have access to manuscripts:

Editors and editorial staff at The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi,
External reviewers,
Members of the journal's editorial committees,
The only occasion when details about a manuscript might be passed to a third party without the authors’ permission is if the editor suspects serious research misconduct.

llegations of Scientific misconduct - Suspect Research or Publication Misconduct

There are differing definitions of scientific misconduct. At the Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi, we deal with these problems on a case by case basis while following guidance produced by the major publication ethics bodies. Editors have a duty to act if they suspect misconduct or if an allegation of misconduct is brought to them. This duty extends to both published and unpublished papers. Editors should not simply reject papers that raise concerns about possible misconduct. They are ethically obliged to pursue alleged cases. Editors should follow the COPE flowcharts where applicable. Editors should first seek a response from those suspected of misconduct. If they are not satisfied with the response, they should ask the relevant employers or institution, or some appropriate body (perhaps a regulatory body or national research integrity organization) to investigate. Editors should make all reasonable efforts to ensure that a proper investigation into alleged misconduct is conducted; if this does not happen, editors should make all reasonable attempts to persist in obtaining a resolution to the problem. This is an onerous but important duty.

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi abides the Ethics Toolkit for a Successful Editorial Office. Editors of Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi; will take reasonable steps to prevent the publication of papers where plagiarism, citation manipulation, data tampering, data fabrication, and other research misconduct have occurred. In no case will Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi or its editors knowingly allow such misconduct to occur. If Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi editors are aware of any allegations of research misconduct related to an article published in their journal, they will follow COPE’s guidelines in dealing with allegations.

Reviewers should notify the Editor when they suspect research or publication misconduct. The editor is responsible for carrying out the necessary actions by following the COPE recommendations.

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi undertakes implementing the COPE Flowcharts when it encounters allegations of misconduct on the following or similar issues.

Complaints Procedure

This procedure applies to complaints that relate to content, procedures, or policies that are the responsibility of The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi or our editorial staff. Complaints may provide an opportunity and a spur for improvement, and we aim to respond quickly, courteously, and constructively. The complaint must relate to content, procedures, or policies that are the responsibility of The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi or our editorial staff. Complaints should be directly emailed to ortacagarastirmalaridergisi@gmail.com, and will be dealt with confidentially. The editor responds promptly to complaints. The editor follows the procedure set out in the COPE flowchart on complaints.

Complaints at The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi are coordinated by the complaints team, with individual complaints handled by the relevant member of the editorial team and the opportunity for escalation if they cannot be resolved.

In the case that this initial response is felt to be insufficient, the complainant can request that their complaint is escalated to a more senior member of the team.
If the complainant remains unhappy, complaints may be escalated to an executive editor and, ultimately the editor-in-chief, whose decision is final.
If a complainant remains unhappy after what the editor-in-chief considers a definitive reply, the complainant may complain to ortacagarastirmalaridergisi@gmail.com.
If possible, a full response will be made within two weeks.

COPE publishes a code of practice for editors of scientific journals. It will facilitate the resolution of disputes with member editors, journals, and publishers, but only once a journal’s own complaints procedures have been exhausted.

Appeal Process

Peer review by editors and external reviewers is usually based on a mix of evidence and opinion, and some decisions to reject may be close calls. We welcome serious appeals. If you believe that we have rejected your article wrongly, perhaps because we have misunderstood its scientific content, please submit an appeal (rebuttal) letter to our editorial team at ortacagarastirmalaridergisi@gmail.com.. Do not try to submit a revised version of your article at this stage. If we agree, on reading your rebuttal letter, that your appeal is warranted we may then invite you to submit a revised version of your article that we will enter again into our peer review process. Lastly, we can consider only one appeal per manuscript, so please spend as much time and effort on writing the rebuttal letter as you think necessary to put the case clearly - you have one chance, so use it well. We have found that prolonged negotiation over rejected papers are usually unsatisfactory for both authors and editors, so we no longer engage in this.

Conflicts of Interest

Conflict of interest exists when professional judgment concerning a primary interest may be influenced by a secondary interest (such as financial gain or personal rivalry). We believe that, to make the best decision on how to deal with an article, we should know about any competing interests that authors may have, and that if we publish the article readers should know about them too.

Conflict of Interest is any financial or other interest that may conflict with one's work, significantly impair objectivity, or provide an unfair advantage to any person or organization. All authors must disclose in their writing any financial and personal relationships with individuals or organizations that may be seen to improperly influence their work. All financial support resources and the role of sponsors in the study should be explained during the conduct of the research and the preparation of the article. If there is no source of funding, this should also be stated. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that need to be disclosed include consultations, hiring, grants. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest possible stage.

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi has a declared process for handling submissions from the editors, employees or members of the editorial board to ensure unbiased review. Such manuscripts are primarily directed to other journals. If this is not possible, the author's role in the Journal will be temporarily terminated. These submissions are reviewed through a double-blind process.

The editor must not be involved in decisions about papers which s/he has written him/herself or have been written by family members. Further, any such submission must be subject to all of the journal’s usual procedures. The editor shall apply the ICMJE guidelines relating to the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest by authors and reviewers.

Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics may be defined as a self-regulatory mechanism insisting on integrity on the part of authors, peer reviewers, and publishers to establish higher standards of editorial processing”. Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas.

Ethical researchers do not plagiarize.
They do not misreport sources.
They do not conceal objections that they cannot rebut.
They do not caricature or distort opposing views.
They do not destroy or conceal sources and data important for those who follow.

Peer-reviewed studies are the ones that support and materialize the scientific method. At this point, it is of utmost importance that all parties included in the publication process (authors, readers, and researchers, publisher, reviewers, and editors) comply with the standards of ethical considerations. The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi adheres to national and international standards on research and publication ethics. It complies with Press Law, Intellectual and Artistic Works Law, and Higher Education Institutions Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive. The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisiadopted the International Ethical Publishing Principles published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). It also undertakes to comply with the Decisions of the Turkey Editors' Workshop.

Duplicate Publication

Duplicate publication is the publication of the same article or substantially similar articles in more than one journal. The editor returns the article unreviewed. After that, the editor may consider no articles by any of the authors for a period of time and may announce publicly in the journal (perhaps as a simultaneous announcement with the editor of the journal that published the earlier article) that the authors have submitted a previously published article, or may do any combination of these actions, at the editor’s discretion.

Simultaneous submission of manuscripts

Authors may not send the same manuscript to more that one journal at the same time. If the editor learns of possible simultaneous submission, the editor reserves the right to consult with the other editor(s) who have received the article. Further, the editor may return the article without review, or may reject it without regard to the reviews, or make this decision in discussion with the other editor(s) involved, and may decide to consider no articles from the author from the authors for a period of time, and may also write to the authors' employers, or may do any combination of these actions, at the editor’s discretion.

Publication Check for Plagiarism

In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common knowledge) material without acknowledging its source.

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi routinely screens article submissions for Plagiarism. The studies submitted for review are checked for plagiarism using the Turnitin software. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 20%. The main measure of similarity is that the author complies with the citation and citation rules. Even though the similarity rate is 1%, if the citation and citation are not duly made, plagiarism may still be in question. In this respect, citation and citation rules should be known and carefully applied by the author.

All submitted manuscripts to the journal are scanned for similarity via Turnitin to prevent plagiarism. Plagiarism, duplication, false authorship/denied authorship, research/data fabrication, article slicing, slicing, copyright infringement, and concealment of conflict of interest are considered unethical behaviors. All articles that do not comply with accepted ethical standards are removed from the publication. This includes articles with possible irregularities and inconsistencies detected after publication.

Data fabrication and falsification

Data fabrication means the researcher did not actually do the study but made up data. Data falsification means the researcher did the experiment but then changed some of the data. Both of these practices make people distrust scientists. If the public is mistrustful of science, then it will be less willing to provide funding support.

Human participants

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi requires that all research involving personal or sensitive data or material relating to human participants that is not legally available to the public is subject to formal ethical review.

Dealing with allegations of research misconduct

The Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi abides the Ethics Toolkit for a Successful Editorial Office. Editors of the Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi ; will take reasonable steps to prevent the publication of papers where plagiarism, citation manipulation, data tampering, data fabrication, and other research misconduct have occurred. In no case will Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi or its editors knowingly allow such misconduct to occur. If Ortacag Arastirmalari Dergisi editors are aware of any allegations of research misconduct related to an article published in their journal, they will follow COPE’s Ethical Principles Flow Chart.
