Therefore, authors who want to submit their works to the journal must have a quality that will contribute to academic fields, be original and research-based, comply with the publication rules, and have the Ithenticate similarity report comply with the criteria of our journal (not to exceed 20% similarity rate), and the work must not have been published or sent for publication elsewhere.

As of the date of announcement (16.03.2024), our journal will not include studies produced from symposium and congress proceedings and studies produced from master's theses.

On the other hand, UDEKAD attaches importance to the fact that referees, who are one of the most important stakeholders of the academic publication process, act with the awareness that they are the most fundamental determinants of the academic quality of the studies during the evaluation phase of the studies to be published and act in accordance with their responsibility to increase academic quality. For this purpose, UDEKAD ensures that the studies to be evaluated are forwarded to referees suitable for their fields of expertise and academic experience; It gives priority to referees to pay attention only to the accuracy of the content of the articles and their compliance with academic criteria, their reports to be objective and measured, and their evaluations to be completed within the given time.


The editor, assistant editors and other responsible persons of the journal are asked to accept and pre-evaluate studies that will contribute to the fields addressed by the journal in order to ensure that the academic publication process is carried out in a healthy manner; They are expected to reject works that do not meet the specified criteria. In addition, it is the primary responsibility of those involved in the journal to maintain mutual confidentiality between researchers and referees, to make efforts to prevent possible plagiarism in studies, and to prioritize academic and ethical principles in all processes of the journal.
