Romaya Journal

Although each field of science has its own rules and methods, science is a universal whole in which all fields are interconnected. Based on this principle, our journal, which we aim to contribute to science with the coexistence of various fields of science, is based on a multidisciplinary academic approach.

Our journal has set out to be a qualified academic platform for scientists doing research in the fields of social and human sciences, natural sciences and technical sciences, where they can contribute to science with their research.

ROMAYA (RESEARCHES ON MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES - MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACADEMIC APPROACH RESEARCH) is a multidisciplinary, international, peer-reviewed academic journal published twice a year (April – October). The journal includes researches prepared in the fields of social and human sciences, natural sciences and technical sciences, health sciences and qualified academic studies such as articles, reports and case reports.

Article Evaluation Process

The first version of the manuscripts submitted to our journal is subjected to editorial review within 1 week. If the study that completes the editorial process is deemed appropriate for the publication principles of the journal, the referee process is initiated. The abstract/abstract of the study is shared with the referees who are experts in the subject of the submitted study. They are asked for information about whether they can contribute to our journal during the refereeing process. The full text of the study is sent to the referees who approve the refereeing and they are notified of the 15-day referee evaluation period. If the referees to whom the abstract/abstract is sent indicate that they are not available, positive notification is expected from different referees. The reports from the referees who have completed the evaluation process are forwarded to the authors. If 2 referees report that the manuscript is unpublishable or 1 referee reports that the manuscript is unpublishable and 1 referee gives a major correction, the manuscript is rejected. The manuscript in which 1 referee reports unpublishable and 1 referee gives minor correction is sent to the 3rd referee. According to the decision of the 3rd referee, it is decided whether or not the article will be published. Regardless of the suggestions, the final decision is made by the editor in chief. All these processes take 30-50 days on average.

2 Unpublishable= Reject
1 Unpublishable + 1 Major=Reject
1 Unpublishable + 1 Minor= The work is sent to the 3rd referee.
