BITLIS EREN UNIVERSITY
JOURNAL OF SCIENCE
WRITING RULES
First Submission Format
Manuscripts should be prepared electronically using the Word template file provided by Bitlis Eren University Journal of Science and sent in
Word format via the DergiPark system. This journal uses blind peer review process, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors’ information should not be given in the main manuscript in order not to give away their identity. According to the 2019 TR-index criteria, all authors should include the internationally valid "ORCID" information in their accepted manuscript. All text, including the abstract and reference list, should be prepared in single-column and 1.5-line spacing format for the first submission.
Similarity index: The manuscripts sent to the journal are scanned with the Ithenticate plagiarism program. The overall similarity score should not exceed 15% after subtracting references, addresses, proper names, chemical compound names and taxon names in biology (scientific names). Each similarity rate should not exceed 3%. The pre-control process for the articles uploaded to the journal will be evaluated according to these similarity scores. In addition, authors must comply with other ethical rules such as Plagiarism, Fabrication, Distortion or Falsification and Duplication. Responsibility for these matters belongs to the author. A study published as a full text in the proceedings book of any congress or symposium is not accepted in the journal. This journal only accepts the full papers of the study published as an abstract in the abstract book.
Referee Process
The manuscripts submitted to the journal are reviewed by the editors in terms of compliance with the overall suitability of the manuscript to the journal, template and similarity score. Manuscripts found to be suitable for refereeing by the editors are then sent to at least 2 reviewers. Reviewers make recommendations for the article to be accepted, major correction, minor correction or rejection. If the manuscript has received a major revision or minor revision by a reviewer, the author should make the corrections suggested by the reviewers for the article and upload the revised version of the manuscript to the system within 1 month. Revised versions of manuscripts may or may not be sent to reviewers if it is minor revision, depending on whether the reviewer requested to see the revised version. By default, reviewers who request major revisions will be sent the revised manuscript. Changes made in line with the recommendations of the reviewers must be stated or highlighted in the article. To indicate these changes, the author should use word tracking in MS Word. After the corresponding author edits the manuscript according to the reviewer's suggestions and upload it to the Journal, the manuscript will be sent to the reviewers for further revision. If the manuscript is accepted by two reviewers, this article is entitled to be published in the journal and listed according to the date of acceptance. Articles can only be accepted for publication by an academic editor. The academic editor can select from the following options: Accept in current form, accept with minor revisions, reject and decline resubmission, reject but encourage resubmission, ask author for revision, or ask for an additional reviewer. This journal uses a blind peer-review process, and therefore, the identities of both the reviewer and the author are hidden from each other during the review process.

The language of the manuscripts to be published in the journal is English. The similarity score of the articles should not exceed 15%. Articles that do not comply with the spelling rules are sent back to the author to be corrected before being sent to the reviewers. Therefore, the writing rules of the journal should be taken into account. Manuscripts should not exceed 20 pages, including figures and tables. The manuscripts sent to the journal for publication are evaluated by at least two reviewers. In order for the articles to be published in the journal, minor revision or acceptance opinion must be given by the reviewers. The Editorial Board of the Journal decides whether to accept the manuscripts for publication by considering the reviewers’ reports (after the evaluations of the two reviewers are received).
Manuscripts to be published in the journal must be within the rules of scientific ethics.

Copy editing stage
The copy-editing phase aims to improve the fluency, clarity, grammatical structure, word choice and format of the article. This is the last opportunity for the author to make significant changes to the article; because in the next step, only string and format corrections will be made. Since the file to be copied is in MS Word or .rtf file format, it can be easily edited as a word processing document. Two approaches to fixes are suggested here. The first is to use the "Track Changes" feature of the MS Word program. However, when this path is selected, the author, copy editor, and editor must have access to the program. The second proposed system is software independent and is reproduced here with permission from the Harvard Educational Review. The journal editor can modify these instructions to make them more suitable for the journal's own operation.
Copy editing systems
1. When the "Track Changes" feature of MS Word and the "Track Changes" feature under Tools in the Menu bar are enabled, the copy editor can make the changes it deems necessary. Text added to the article is shown in a different color, while removed text or parts are shown in the margin as strikethrough, colored or deleted. The copy editor can write whatever they want to ask the author or editor in square brackets. The document passing through the copy editor is uploaded to the system to be forwarded to the editor. The editor reviews the text and presents it to the author's opinion. The editor and the author approve the corrections they see fit and return them to the normal format, they can change it if they wish, or they can make new additions or deletions in different colors. If there are questions in the text in square brackets, the author and editor should answer these questions in the relevant brackets. After reviewing by the author and editor, the copy editor reviews the text one last time and approves the changes, and the text is ready for page editing and typesetting.
2. To electronically edit a manuscript draft using the Harvard Educational Review method, follow the instructions below: Responding to suggested changes: If you approve of the proposed changes, change the relevant text from bold to regular font. If you do not approve the proposed changes, re-enter the original text and make it bold. Making additions and subtractions: Mark the part you added in bold font. Mark the text to be deleted with square brackets as below [text to be deleted]. If you are deleting a sentence or more, add a note in the relevant field. For example [2 sentences deleted: text to be deleted]. Answering the questions directed to the author: Do not touch the questions directed to the author, do not delete them, leave them in bold in the text. Add your answer as [Author's note:] to the end of the questions directed to the author. For example, [Author's note: Methodology discussion expanded as you suggested]. Commenting: Use the Comment section to describe changes and major revisions to article editing. For example, [Comment: Paragraph above moved from page 5 to page 7]. Note: When giving page numbers, use the page numbers from the hard copy you received. Page numbers may change during electronic transactions.
An example for electronic editing
First copy editor file: The journal's copy editor edits the article in terms of fluency, clarity, grammar, word choice and format, and then adds questions to be sent to the author at necessary points. The copy editor uploads this first edited article to the journal's web page. It also sends a note to the author to review the article. Author edit file: The author should consider the views of the editors who followed the article before making major changes to the structure or layout of the first edited article. The author should approve the changes made during the first editing if he/she deems it appropriate, and reject all the questions asked if he/she does not deem it appropriate. When the author completes this process, he/she should change the file name from AuthornameQA.doc to AuthornameQAR.doc (eg LeeQAR.doc instead of LeeQA.doc) and upload it to the web page. Final copy edit: The copy editor will approve the changes made by the author and prepare the final copy by integrating the answers with the text. The copy editor uploads the final copy to the journal web page and prompts the layout editor to complete the formatting.
