“Uluslararası Halkbilimi Araştırmaları Dergisi” (UHAD) follows a double-blind peer-review policy. Manuscripts sent to “UHAD” are first reviewed by the editorial board. The editorial board decides whether the submitted manuscripts will be published or not. After the approval of the editorial board, the manuscripts are sent to two blind referees selected from the referee pool and related to the subject of the submitted manuscript. If one of the referees expresses an opinion that the study is not suitable for publication in the journal and the other referee approves, the study is sent to a third blind referee and the decision of the last referee will be acted upon. In summary, the approval of at least two referees is required for the study submitted to the journal to be published in the journal. UHAD does not guarantee that every work submitted to the journal will be published. Furthermore, a study accepted by the referees may be rejected with a reasoned decision of the editorial board, considering scientific and academic ethics.
