PUBLICATION POLICY

1. First, the papers submitted to the editorial board are subjected to the authenticity test via iThenticate. The text should have less than %20 similarities to the other texts excluding the references and sources, quotes and the sentences that have less than five words. Then, they are reviewed for their suitability to the article writing rules and publication ethics. Those considered unsuitable are returned to the author(s) for revision or rejected outright with a written justification. Our journal uses double blind peer review process. The papers that are found suitable for further review are sent to peer reviewers of the respectable fields without the name(s) of the author(s). The names of the reviewers are also kept hidden. If one of the reviews is positive whereas the other is negative, the paper may be sent to a third reviewer or the editorial board with considering the reviews can make the final decision. Authors should take the criticisms or the advices of the reviewers and the editorial board. Authors must edit and resend their articles in a week.

2. The journal accepts papers during the whole year; however the submission system could be locked due to the excessive numbers of submissions. In that case, authors can write an e-mail to sbd@uludag.edu.tr and state their request for participation in the next issue.

3. The author has to comply with his research and publication. Articles to be sent to the Journal must not have been previously published elsewhere or sent to another journal for evaluation. The ethical and legal responsibility of publishing the articles submitted to the journal in another scientific environment or sending them for evaluation rests strictly with the author. 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.

4. While evaluating the articles sent to the journal, attention is paid to the diversity of scientific fields, institutions and authors. Therefore, if necessary, some articles may not be evaluated with a justification.

5. The articles that are written according to the rules must be submitted online via http://dergipark.org.tr/.
