Articles submitted to Marmara University Atatürk Faculty of Education Journal of Fundamental Education Research (TEAD) are evaluated in the following stages through a two-way blind refereeing process, in which the identities of the authors and the referees are concealed from the reviewers:
Preliminary Review Process
Articles sent to Marmara University Atatürk Faculty of Education Journal of Fundamental Education Research (TEAD) are evaluated by the editors through a preliminary review. At this stage, articles that do not comply with TEAD's purpose, scope and publication policies, do not comply with the rules of language and expression, have deficiencies/errors in the research method, do not comply with ethical principles, are not original and have a high rate of similarity are rejected. Authors of rejected studies are informed within 10 days from the date of submission at the earliest. Studies that are deemed appropriate are taken into preliminary evaluation.
Similarity-Originality Checking
It is mandatory for the article submitted to Marmara University Atatürk Faculty of Education Journal of Fundamental Education Research (TEAD) and every article that reaches the publication stage to be checked for plagiarism in order to determine the similarity-originality status. Similarity-plagiarism checks are performed by the automatic similarity-plagiarism check provided by the Dergipark system ( intihal.net) when the authors upload their articles to the journal , and also by the editors using the iThenticate program. Articles with a similarity rate of more than 20% are rejected by the Editorial Board.
Preliminary Evaluation
For the preliminary evaluation of articles deemed appropriate, they are sent to the field editor related to the subject of the article. The article sent to the field editor is examined in terms of the titles to be included in the article; the introduction to the literature, method, findings and comments, discussion-conclusion and recommendations sections, the scope of the journal and publication policies, originality and up-to-dateness. The field editor reports the results of the review to the editor with a report. The editor rejects articles deemed inappropriate by the field editor in the preliminary evaluation. The field editor also sends the referee recommendations for the articles deemed appropriate to the editor with the review report. As a result of this review, the studies deemed inappropriate are returned to the author with the editorial evaluation report within 15 days at the latest. The studies deemed appropriate are taken into the referee evaluation process.
Referee Process
For candidate articles sent to the Journal of Basic Education Research, at least two referees are assigned according to the content of the studies and the referees' areas of expertise. Care is taken not to assign referees from the institution where the author(s) work, from those who have conflicts of interest or common interests with the author(s), from those whose fields are not related to the article, from the thesis advisor or from the thesis jury members. More than one article is not sent to the same referee for evaluation in one issue of the journal. Referees cannot share any process or document about the studies they evaluate.
Article Evaluation Criteria
Referees evaluate articles according to the following criteria:
Introduction: Whether the theoretical framework of the research topic and its equivalent in the scientific literature, the problem of the research, its aims/hypotheses are included in the introduction section.
Method: Whether the research model, limitations, sample/study groups, data collection tools (validity and reliability), data collection/implementation/experimental process, data analysis and explanations about the ethical process of the research are included in the method section.
