Research Article
Aim & Scope
Konya Engineering Sciences (KONJES) Journal, which currently belongs to the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences of Konya Technical University, started to be published on January 01, 1986, under the name of Selçuk University Faculty of Engineering and Architecture Journal (ISSN: 1300-5200 printed, 1304-8708 electronic).
With the decision of the Council of Ministers (Decision Number: 2012/3762) published in the Official Gazette dated 7 October 2012 and numbered 28434, “The name of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture under the Selcuk University Rectorate was changed to the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture was established under the aforementioned Rectorate” was decided by the Council of Ministers on September 20, 2012, in accordance with the additional article 30 of dated March 28, 1983, and numbered 2809, upon the letter of the Ministry of National Education dated September 7, 2012, and numbered 22448. For this reason, as of March 2013, the name of the journal was changed and the name of the journal was changed to Selçuk University Journal of Engineering, Science, and Technology (SUJEST), and registered by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, General Directorate of Libraries and Publications with e-ISSN: 2147-9364.
However, in the course of time, Selçuk University Faculty of Engineering; With the seventh article of the law numbered 7141 published in the Official Gazette dated May 18, 2018, and numbered 30425, with the Additional Article-179 added to the law numbered 2809, it was connected to a new university established under the name of "Konya Technical University". For this reason, the name of the journal was changed again, and the name of SUJEST was continued to be published as "Konya Journal of Engineering Sciences (KONJES)" with its new name, e-ISSN: 2667-8055, within the body of the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences of Konya Technical University. To date, there has been no interruption in our journal, and the continuity of publication has been maintained.
Our journal is international and as of 1 January 2023, only manuscripts written in English will be evaluated. KONJES Journal is published 4 times a year (March, June, September, and December). The journal is a multidisciplinary journal covering all aspects of engineering. KONJES aims to bring the latest scientific/technical developments in engineering sciences to the relevant scientists and readers. The journal deals with both experimental and theoretical studies of engineering. Aiming to bring original and new perspectives to the literature in these fields, KONJES also helps easy access to information with its open access policy. The journal publishes a special issue on a specific topic each year. Thus, KONJES aims to deal with a subject in detail and to contribute to the academic world in this way. The works to be published should not have been published anywhere before and the rights of publication should not be granted. All responsibility for the works to be published in the journal belongs to the author (s).
The types of publications that can be accepted for publication in KONJES are as follows.
Research Article: Articles reflecting original research with its findings and results. The study must contribute to science.
Survey Article: These are articles that scan a sufficient number of scientific articles, summarize the subject at the current level of knowledge and technology, and evaluate and compare the findings.
Editorial Comment / Discussion: It is the evaluation of the original research articles published by experts other than the authors. It is published at the end of the article.
Letter to the Editor: The articles that are published in the journal within the last year include a maximum of 500 words containing various opinions, experiences, and questions of the readers. There are no titles or abstract sections. The number of references is limited to 5. It should be stated which article (number, date) is dedicated and at the end, there should be the name, institution, and address of the author. The answer to the letter is given by the editor or the author (s) of the article and published in the journal.
Case Presentation: Articles that conduct research, examination, and evaluation in forensic engineering cases and interpret the findings, if any, with the simulations.
Author Guidelines
