Republication and submission of the same work to more than one journal
Submission of identical or substantially similar articles by authors to more than one journal is considered an ethical violation by our journal. When this situation is detected by our journal, the article will be returned to the author and the author's articles will be embargoed for a period to be determined by the editor.

Plagiarism Action Plan and Journal's Measures
Our journal scans all submitted articles for plagiarism. The plagiarism status of the papers submitted to the journal is examined using Turnitin or Ithenticate software. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this rate are rejected without being included in the refereeing process. If necessary, the editors may subject the article to plagiarism check at various stages of the evaluation process.
The journal attaches great importance to intellectual property rights and aims to support and protect the original work of authors. Plagiarism is considered an act contrary to research ethics and innovation standards. Therefore, all authors submitting manuscripts to the journal are expected to fully comply with the code of ethics and refrain from any act of plagiarism.
When plagiarism is suspected in an article, it is first reviewed by the editors of our journal. As a result of the review, our journal contacts the author and requests an explanation within two weeks. If no response is received within the specified period, the journal contacts the university to which the author is affiliated and requests an official investigation.

In cases where plagiarism is detected, our journal follows the following steps:
Notify the university to which the author is affiliated and cooperate to initiate official action.
The PDF copy of the relevant article is removed from the journal's website and links to the article are deactivated. In addition, the phrase “Plagiarized Article” is added to the article title.
The account of the author responsible for the violation will be closed and the author will be prevented from making any submissions to the journal for 3 years.

Correction, Retraction, Expression of Concern
If minor errors are detected in published articles that do not change the findings, interpretations and conclusions, editors may issue a correction. Editors may consider retracting the manuscript if errors/omissions are found that are major enough to change the findings and conclusions. Editors should consider issuing a statement of concern if there is evidence of research or publication misconduct by the authors; if there is evidence that the findings are unreliable and that the authors' institutions have not investigated the incident; or if the potential investigation appears unfair or inconclusive. Correction, withdrawal or expression of concern will follow COPE guidelines.

Conflicts of Interest
1. Authors should declare any (institutional, financial, personal and academic) conflict of interest at the time of submission.
2. Referees should inform the journal editor and withdraw from the article process in case of any (institutional, financial, personal and academic) conflict of interest that prevents them from evaluating the article.
3. In order to prevent conflicts of interest in the article evaluation process, our journal pays attention to the fact that referees and authors do not work in the same institution.
4. In order to prevent conflicts of interest in the evaluation process of the articles sent to our journal by our board members (Editor, Editorial board member, etc.), the roles of the authors in our journal are suspended until the process of the relevant article is completed and they are not allowed to see the process.
5. The editors of our journal do not take part in decisions regarding articles written by themselves or their family members.
