Academic impartiality and scientific quality are important criteria in the evaluation of articles submitted for publication. Therefore, the recommendations of the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) and the International Standards for Editors and Authors of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) should be taken into account in scientific articles submitted to the SUJE.

• Sakarya University Journal of Education (SUJE) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality articles on social sciences.

• SUJEis a journal published 3 times a year in April, August and December.

• One article per year of each author is published. With the approval of the editorial/advisory board, this number can be increased to two articles in a year, once a year in a routine issue and once a year in a special issue. This rule is not changed depending on the number of authors.

• The language of the articles can only be English.

• The percentage of similarity in articles should be less than 20% overall and 3% similarity rate from a single source excluding references.

• The number of articles published in routine issues of SUJE in a year and whose authors are Sakarya University staff members cannot exceed 30% of the total number of articles of that year. This rule cannot be changed depending on the number of authors. Having only one Sakarya University staff member in the article is sufficient for the article to be included in this rule. In special issues of SUJE, this rule is determined according to the relevant issue and the total rate in routine issues is not taken into account.

• Article applications are not accepted via e-mail.

• The referee process is not initiated for articles that do not comply with the writing rules of the journal, without footnotes, bibliography, preface or abstract. The Editorial Board may take a decision for special cases. Click for the writing rules of the article.

• Ethics committee approval must be obtained for all studies on clinical and experimental humans and animals.

• Manuscripts to be published must be sent via the “Submit Article” page.

NOTE: If any editor sends an article to the SUJE, the editor's access to the editorial panel is prevented. The editor follows all processes as a writer. After the process is completed, the editorial authority is given to him again.

Required files to be uploaded when submitting an article:

1- WORD document of the article prepared by considering the spelling rules (There should be no information belonging to the authors. This file will be sent to the referees in accordance with the double-blind refereeing policy)

2- Copyright Agreement and Author Acceptance Form

3- The approved version of the Ethics Committee Permit must be uploaded to the system. In addition, this approval (name of the board, date and number) should be stated in the method section. Ethics committee permission is requested for all kinds of research conducted with qualitative or quantitative approaches that require data collection from the participants by using survey, interview, focus group work, observation, experiment, and interview techniques. If the manuscript is one of the articles that does not require an ethics committee report mentioned in the previous sentence, this situation should be explained in a Word document and this file should be uploaded instead of the ethics committee document.

Note: The author does not need to submit the similarity report in new manuscripts submitted to the journal. Plagiarism check will be carried out by the journal secretariat by iThenticate software. References and appendices are not included in the plagiarism check.
