Publication Ethics and Academic Standards

Stratium is firmly committed to international academic publishing principles. The journal adopts the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and conducts all publication processes in accordance with these ethical principles.

Fundamental Principles

• Peer Review Process: All manuscripts are evaluated through a double-blind peer review process by at least two expert reviewers. This process is based on the principles of objectivity, impartiality, and academic transparency.
• Originality and Scientific Integrity: Manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original, unpublished elsewhere, and not under consideration for publication in another journal. All submissions are subject to plagiarism screening.
• Ethics Committee Approval: For research involving human and animal subjects, approval must be obtained from the relevant ethics committees.
• Declaration of Conflicts of Interest: Authors, reviewers, and editors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
• Data Sharing and Transparency: The verifiability of datasets used in research is essential. When necessary, authors are required to share their data and research methods.
• Legal Liability: The opinions, evaluations, findings, and conclusions expressed in published articles belong solely to the authors. The journal supports academic diversity; however, it does not assume direct responsibility for the published content. Authors bear sole and personal responsibility for any legal, administrative, or ethical disputes that may arise from published works. In this regard, the publisher, editors, and the journal’s editorial board bear no legal responsibility.

These principles ensure that Stratium maintains its position as a reliable, ethical, and high-standard academic journal.

Article Types

The journal accepts various types of academic manuscripts in accordance with international standards:

• Research Article: Comprehensive academic studies based on original theoretical or empirical findings.
• Review Article: Studies that systematically analyze the literature in a specific field and propose new research agendas.
• Case Study: In-depth analyses of a specific country, region, organization, or event based on a methodological framework.
• Policy Analysis: Academic assessments focused on developing recommendations for policymakers and providing practical insights.
• Book Review: Critical evaluations of newly published works related to the field.

Each article type is evaluated within the framework of scientific contribution, methodological rigor, and academic writing standards.
