Duties of Authors

~ The manuscripts to be published in the journal should be original and academic studies prepared using research methods suitable for their fields.
~ Studies submitted to the journal should not be published elsewhere or submitted for publication. The legal responsibility for the problems arising from this situation belongs to the author.
~ For manuscripts produced from the paper to be processed, the author must fill in a wet-signed undertaking and upload it to the system stating "My work has not been published or will not be published". Duplication / Republishing / Scientific Misleading / Multiple Publication is a crime. According to TUBITAK Publication Ethics Committee, duplication is to submit or publish the same research results to multiple journals for publication. If a manuscript has already been evaluated and published, publications other than this are considered duplications.
~ English title, abstract and keywords are requested from authors for their work in the type of book review.
~ No royalties are paid to authors for published articles.
~ No manuscript submission fee is charged to authors.
~ No publication fee is charged to authors.
~ If the published work is a previously presented paper or if the article was produced from the thesis, this should be stated in the study.
~ For articles decided to be published, the ORCID number must be provided by the authors.
~ Authors should ensure that they only write and present completely original works and that this is properly cited if they have used the works and/or words of others. References should also be made to the publications that are effective in determining the nature of the study reported in the manuscript. Plagiarism takes many forms, from "submitting" someone else's article as the author's article, copying or interpreting important parts of someone else's article (without citing), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Any form of plagiarism constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
~ Essentially, articles describing the same research should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication. Therefore, authors should not submit an article previously published in another journal for evaluation. Submitting an article to multiple journals at once is unethical publishing behavior and unacceptable.

~ When authors detect significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, it is their responsibility to immediately notify the journal's editors or publishers and cooperate with them to correct the article as an error or retract the article. If editors or publishers learn from a third party that a published work contains a material error or inaccuracy, it is the responsibility of authors to correct or retract the article immediately or to provide the journal editors with evidence of the accuracy of the article.

Editors' Duties

~ Editors evaluate submitted manuscripts based solely on their academic values (importance, originality, validity, openness of the study) and relevance to the journal's scope, regardless of authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, citizenship, religious belief, political philosophy, or corporate belonging.

~ Editors ensure that all manuscripts reviewed for publication are peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers who are experts in their fields.
