Special Issue Publication Policy

Our journal provides an opportunity to publish special issues that include proceedings submitted following organized congresses or meetings. Articles submitted for inclusion in a special issue undergo the following stages in the publication process:

Editorial Pre-Review: Initially, the submitted articles are reviewed by the journal editors in terms of content and scope.

Compliance with Submission Guidelines: Articles that pass the editorial review are examined for adherence to the journal’s submission guidelines.

Similarity Screening Process: To prevent plagiarism, articles undergo a similarity screening.

Referee Process: Articles that successfully complete the preceding stages are then subject to peer review by experts, using a double-blind review model.

Language Control, Typesetting and Layout Process: Articles whose referee process is completed are published after the completion of processes such as language control, typesetting and layout like other articles published in our journal.

Articles submitted to our journal as a special issue must comply with the ethical principles and policies of our journal. Our special issues serve as a significant publication platform for compiling previously presented academic work and sharing it with the scientific community.
