Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

The Journal of Applied Engineering and Agriculture (UMTD) operates the process of publishing scientific articles as an international peer-reviewed journal and continues its publication life in accordance with the following principles:

It is published twice a year (July, December).
UMTD is only published electronically.
Our journal covers articles produced in the following areas (Please refer to our Aim and Scope section for subheadings).


• Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Molecular Biology, and Genetics)
• Engineering (General)
• Agriculture (General)
• Management Information Systems (General)

Articles submitted to the journal are accepted in English.

The review and evaluation process of submitted articles is conducted using the "Double-Blind Peer Review" method (preventing reviewers and authors from seeing each other's information).

Our journal adopts an Open Access Publishing Policy.

No fees are charged for the publication and access to published articles in our journal. Authors and reviewers are not paid for accepted articles.

The article review process is expected to last up to 6 months for each article, depending on the peer reviews.

When a "Revision" decision is made for submitted articles, authors must make the necessary revisions and upload the final version of the article to the system within 15 days. If revisions are not made and submitted within the specified period, the editors reserve the right to reject the article.

Articles submitted to the journal must not have been published elsewhere or submitted for publication elsewhere.

For studies that have been previously used as theses, presentations, or papers and submitted to our journal as articles, information about their previous use should be provided as a footnote on the first page according to the following conditions:

If the study has been published as an abstract paper; the title of the paper, the name of the event, date, and location information should be written.

If the study has been produced from postgraduate theses; the title of the thesis, the name of the advisor, university and institute information, along with the completion date and location information should be written.

If the study has been supported by a research institution or fund; the name of the supporting organization, project number, and completion date information should be written.

For studies produced from previously submitted and partially published works, event information should be written in a distinctive way.

Submitted articles are examined considering the following points before being presented to reviewers, and articles that comply with the evaluation process are sent to reviewers:

Compliance with writing rules

Compliance with the template structurally

Compliance with the aim and scope

Compliance with publication principles

Compliance with publication ethics

Scientific quality and originality

An article is evaluated by at least 3 reviewers, and as a prerequisite for publication, it must be deemed suitable for publication by at least 2 reviewers. After reviewer approvals, the Chief Editor and Editorial Board have the authority to decide whether the article will be published.

All authors submitting articles to our journal have equal rights. No privileges are granted to the work or the author during the evaluation, acceptance, and publication processes of the articles. The order of publication of accepted articles is adjusted according to the acceptance time. However, the Editorial Board reserves the right to make changes when necessary.

After an article is accepted for publication, the "Copyright Transfer Form" must be completed and signed by all authors and uploaded to the journal system.

Articles accepted for publication are published with all rights by the Journal of Applied Engineering and Agriculture (UMTD).

Articles submitted to our journal undergo plagiarism detection processes (iThenticate, etc.). If plagiarism exceeding 20% is detected before publication, the article is rejected without undergoing the peer review process. For plagiarism detected after publication, removal from publication is applied, and an editor's note is published in the journal for readers.
