Review Guide

Considering that TEVİLAT Journal aims to publish original and important articles, we ask the referees to help us evaluate the article applications we receive.
Below is the article evaluation process, how to become a reviewer and how to write a good review. We also have arbitration terms and conditions based on the COPE Principles, which provide more information on how to conduct objective and constructive arbitration.

Selection of Reviews

The reviews are selected from among the experts who have a doctoral degree in the field of science to which the article is related and who have publications. The information of the experts working in Turkish universities is accessed from the YÖK Academic website and the information of the experts abroad is accessed from Publons.
Duties and Responsibilities of Reviews
1) Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Reviewers should be aware of any personal bias they may have and should take this into account when reviewing an article. The arbitrator must clearly state his or her supportive considerations of his or her decision.
2) Contribution to Editorial Decision: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and provides the author with the opportunity to improve the article. In this respect, a referee who feels inadequate to review an article or who thinks that he / she cannot complete the review in a short time should not accept the invitation to referee.
3) Confidentiality: All articles that reach the journal for review should be kept confidential. Reviews should not share reviews or information about the article with anyone or communicate directly with the authors. The information contained in the study should not be used by a review in his / her own research without the express written permission of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain.
4) Sensitivity to Research and Publication Ethics Violations: Reviews should be careful about possible ethical issues in the article and report them to the editor.
5) Conflict of Interest: Reviewers should not agree to review an article that has possible conflicts of interest arising from their relationship with the authors or the institutions to which the articles are affiliated.

6) Request for Citation to Reviewer: If a reviewer recommends that an author include citations to the work of the reviewer (or their associates), this should be for actual scientific reasons, not for the purpose of increasing the number of citations of the reviewer or increasing the visibility of their work.
7) Reviewers should report to the editor if they notice any copyright infringement and plagiarism.
