Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering (UUJFE) folllows guides and politics published by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for ethical rules and responsibilities of authors, journal editors/subject editors, reviewers and publisher.
It is improper for an author to submit manuscripts describing essentially the same research to more than one journal of primary publication, unless it is a resubmission of a manuscript rejected for or withdrawn from publication. Authors should not engage in plagiarism - verbatim or near-verbatim copying, or very close paraphrasing, of text or results from another’s work. Authors should not engage in self-plagiarism - unacceptably close replication of the author’s own previously published text or results without acknowledgement of the source. The co-authors of a paper should be all those persons who have made significant scientific contributions to the work reported and who share responsibility and accountability for the results.
All articles accepted after double-blind peer review process and published by UUJFE without any fee or charge are freely available, openly accessible. We follow the guidelines presented by Budapest Open - Access Initiative (BOAI) regarding the Open-Access. The average time between the submission date and the final decision date for the papers submitted to Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering in 2022 was 18 weeks.
