The editor will only consider adding, deleting, or rearranging authors after the article is submitted in exceptional cases. All authors must agree to any such addition, deletion or rearrangement. Authors take joint responsibility for the work.

Even if plagiarism is scanned by the journal, the results of plagiarism, which is an academic shame, will belong entirely to the author.

• For the reviewers; Reviewers should act with the awareness that they are the most fundamental identification of the academic quality of the article to be published in the journal and should evaluate with a responsibility to increase academic quality. Reviewers should accept to review only articles for which they have the expertise to perform an appropriate review, can respect the confidentiality of blind review, and retain details of the article in all situations. After the article review process, no information about the revised article should be shared with others. Reviewers should only evaluate the truth of the content of articles and their appropriateness with academic criteria. Whether the opinions expressed in the article are different from the opinions of the reviewer or not, there should not affect the evaluation. Reviewer’s reports must be objective and measured. Insulting, condescending and accusatory expressions should absolutely be avoided. Reviewers should avoid superficial and vague statements in their evaluation reports. In evaluations with negative results, the missing and defective points on which the result is based should be indicated in a concrete way. Reviewers should evaluate the articles within their appointed time. If they are not going to evaluate, they must notify the journal within a reasonable time.

• For the editors, Editors should accept articles that will contribute to the relevant stated areas in the journal policy to the evaluation process. Editors should not have any conflict of interest/relationship with accepted or rejected articles. Editors have full responsibility and authority to accept or reject an article. It is the editors' responsibility to keep the names of reviewers and authors mutually confidential. Editors should make the necessary effort to screen for plagiarism of articles submitted for publication and in order to avoid academic dishonour.
