Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics can be defined as a self-regulatory mechanism that insists on honesty on the part of authors, reviewers and publishers to establish higher standards of editorial processing. The processes implemented in this direction directly reflect on the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support the authors. Peer-reviewed studies are studies that support and implement the scientific method. At this point, it is of great importance that all parties involved in the publication process (authors, readers and researchers, publisher, referees and editors) comply with ethical principles. Our journal adheres to standards regarding publication ethics. In this regard, it has been prepared by taking into account the guides and policies published by the HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION ETHICS DIRECTIVE and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
