Manuscripts submitted to the journal should not have been published elsewhere and should not have been reviewed for publication by any publisher.
The language of the journal is Turkish and English.
No fee is charged for submitted articles and articles published in the journal. No royalty fees are paid to the authors for the articles published in the journal.
The similarity rate (excluding references) in the submitted articles must be below 25%. Manuscripts with excessive spelling mistakes and high similarity will be rejected without being evaluated.
The articles that are pre-evaluated by our Editor and Editorial Board will enter the referee evaluation process.
Manuscripts that pass the initial evaluation are sent to at least two referees who are experts in the relevant field. After a rigorous peer-review, a decision will be made to request accept or reject the article. In case a correction is requested from the author, the correction must be made and delivered to our journal “within the period to be determined by the editorial office”. Otherwise, it is accepted that the authors have withdrawn the article.
Statements or opinions expressed in published articles belong to the authors. Editors, editorial board and publisher do not accept any responsibility for these articles. The final responsibility for the published content belongs to the authors. All rights of the articles published in the journal are reserved. It may not be reproduced in any way without attribution.
Requests for adding a new name to the article or changing the name order are not taken into consideration in all processes from the moment the article is sent to the journal until the publication stage. Regardless of the process of the article sent to the journal for publication (evaluation stage, acceptance stage, publication stage, etc.), the journal editor has the right to reject the article at any point it deems necessary.
Authors who submit articles for publication to the journal are deemed to have known and accepted the above clauses. Our journal is published twice a year, in December and June.
