ETHICAL PRINCIPLES

Hacettepe University Turkish Studies is a peer-reviewed, periodical and international journal that accepts original, theoretical and/or applied research and review articles produced with an interdisciplinary approach on language, history, geography, art, literature, social, economic, political and cultural issues related to the Turkish world from past to present. Abbreviated as HÜTAD, the journal adopts the Committee on Publication Ethics' (COPE) "Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors" and "Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers". For COPE's "Core Practices" document, see https://publicationethics.org
Authors Submitting Papers for Publication in HUTAD Must Meet the Following ETHICAL PRINCIPLES
1- Originality: The submitted work must be entirely the work of the author(s) in terms of main idea, expression and style. If other researchers' works are included in the article by direct or indirect quotation, it is obligatory to give this in accordance with the APA referencing style detailed in the journal's publication principles, and these works must be listed in the references.
2- Plagiarism-Free: The author's use of direct or indirect long/short quotations or repetitions of ideas, sentences, visual materials, tables, graphics, figures, maps, etc. from other researches or previous works of their own done without referencing the printed or digital material, is considered plagiarism. Authors should strictly avoid this. Plagiarism is a violation of ethics, regardless of whether it is intentional or not. It is not only unethical but also a crime and unacceptable if the articles are similar to other sources without reference and submitted for publication in this form.
Articles submitted to the journal are checked with a plagiarism prevention software, Turnit-in. Articles with a similarity rate of more than 10% are not evaluated.
The Editorial Board acts in accordance with COPE rules in the face of allegations and suspicions of plagiarism, citation manipulation and data falsification regarding the articles submitted to the journal.
3- Ethics Committee Permission and Approval: Ethics committee permission must be obtained in advance for all kinds of surveys, scales, interviews, observations, etc. applied in areas such as qualitative research and oral history.

Non-university member researchers can apply to the Ethics Committees in their region.
4- Resubmission of a Published Publication: The articles submitted to HUTAD must not have been previously published in any form (in print or digital media). Submitting an article submitted to HUTAD to another journal without permission or notice is a violation of ethical rules and is unacceptable.
5- Slicing: It is ethically inappropriate for authors to transform the results of a research into more than one publication by inappropriately slicing the results of a research into parts in a way that disrupts the integrity of the research which will compromise the originality of the study and be repetitive.
6- Presentation and Storage of Raw Data: Authors are obliged to submit the raw data of their research when requested by the editors and reviewers and to keep these data even after the publication of their articles.

Conflict of Interest
Conflicts of interest arise when there is an economic or a personal benefit. The credibility of the scientific process and published articles is directly related to the objective handling of conflicts of interest during the planning, implementation, writing, evaluation, editing and publication of scientific work.
Financial relationships are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and inevitably undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors and the science. These conflicts can arise from personal relationships, academic competition or intellectual attitudes. Authors should avoid, as much as possible, entering into agreements with sponsors, both for-profit and non-profit, that restrict access to all data of the study or interfere with their ability to analyze and interpret data, prepare articles, publish, etc.
To avoid conflicts of interest, editors should avoid bringing together people with whom they may have any relationship during the evaluation of submitted works. Editors who make the final decision on articles should also have no personal, professional or financial ties with any of the subjects they are deciding on. Individuals should inform the editorial board about possible conflicts of interest so that articles can be evaluated within the framework of ethical principles and an independent process can be carried out.

Our journal does not charge any fee to the authors neither before publication nor after the articles are accepted for publication.
