The following ethical duties and responsibilities are written in the liiiight of the guide and policies made by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, and the publisher.

1. Publication and authorship:
- List of references, financial support;
- No plagiarism, no fraudulent data;
- Forbidden to publish same research in more than one journal.

2. Author’s responsibilities:
- Authors obliged to participate in peer review process;
- All authors have significantly contributed to the research;
- Statement that all data in article are real and authentic;
- All authors are obliged to provide retractions or corrections of mistakes.

3. Peer review / responsibility for the reviewers:
- Judgments should be objective;
- Reviewers should have no conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors and/or the research funders;
- Reviewers should point out relevant published work which is not yet cited;
- Reviewed articles should be treated confidentially.

4. Editorial responsibilities:
- Editors have complete responsibility and authority to reject/accept an article;
- Editors should have no conflict of interest with respect to articles they reject/accept;
- Only accept a paper when reasonably certain;
- When errors are found, promote publication of correction or retraction;
- Preserve anonymity of reviewers.

Duties of the Publisher
Uludağ University Faculty of Arts and Sciences Journal of Social Sciences is committed to ensuring that commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, UUFASJSS will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful to editors. Finally, we are working closely with other publishers and industry associations to set standards for best practices on ethical matters, errors and retractions–and are prepared to provide specialized legal review and counsel if necessary.

Plagiarism Detection
Uludağ University Faculty of Arts and Sciences Journal of Social Sciences uses double-blind review fulfilled by at least two reviewers. In addition, all articles are checked by means of a program (iThenticate) in order to confirm they are not published before and avoid plagiarism.
The peer review process is at the heart of the success of scientific publishing. As part of our commitment to the protection and enhancement of the peer review process, UUFASJSS has an obligation to assist the scientific community in all aspects of publishing ethics, especially in cases of (suspected) duplicate submission or plagiarism.
When a reader discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in a paper published in Uludağ University Faculty of Arts and Sciences Journal of Social Sciences or have any other complaint about editorial content (plagiarism, duplicate papers, etc.), he/she should make a complaint by e-mail to: sbd@uludag.edu.tr We welcome complaints as they provide an opportunity for improvement, and we aim to respond quickly and constructively.

3. The author has to comply with his research and publication. The articles must not have been published or accepted to be published elsewhere. Proceedings that were presented at scientific meetings but not yet published can be accepted as long as the author states this situation. The legal and ethical responsibilities solely belong to the author. Oral presentations could be published as long as it is stated, they are in full text and they were not published in any other medium.
