Publication Principles

1. Papers which are submitted to the journal for publication are expected not to have been published somewhere else, not to be in the evaluation process of another publication organ. If it is determined that the manuscript uploaded by the relevant author(s) has been sent for evaluation or REJECTED by another journal, we reserve all kinds of legal rights about the relevant author(s).
2. Papers outside the accepted disciplines and fields in our journal are rejected. The accepted fields are stated under the “DISCIPLINES” title of our journal. None of the papers outside these fields can be published or requested to be published in this journal.
3. The content and scientific responsibility of the papers cannot be imposed on the journal under any circumstances. The whole responsibility belongs to relevant author(s).
4. In articles with more than one author, the correspondent author is the one who ranks first. Or the member uploading the paper to the journal accepts and has to accept the whole responsibility.
5. The abstract should be prepared both in Turkish and English and between 150 and 250 words. The title should also be both in Turkish and English. The purpose of the paper, scope, method, limitations of research, findings and conclusion should be included in Turkish and English parts.
6. If the paper has been prepared from such organs as thesis, book etc., it should be stated at the end of references part with “Author’s Note” by referring to the first title. If the paper has been prepared from a master’s or doctoral thesis, the name of the advisor should be ranked in the second place. If the thesis advisor doesn’t want to see her/his name in the relevant paper, our journal should be informed about this situation with a document. It should be a document with wet signature. Our journal and management doesn’t have such a liability to question author(s) about the source of papers reproduced from thesis or another paper. The whole responsibility belongs to author(s). The author(s) already accept these conditions.
7. Sources used in the works must be prepared according to the appropriate template of the journal. This template is presented to all author(s) as a Word file on our website. Besides, the last volume of our journal should always be taken into account. Our journal and management unilaterally belongs the right to change these criteria in line with their own demands.
8. Every paper evaluated should get the approval of two referees. If one of the referees has rejected and the other one has approved, the editor sends the paper to the third referee. In line with the opinions and suggestions of the third referee, editor acts in accordance with her/his own authority. Chief Editor of the journal unilaterally reserves the right to REJECT even if the paper has been approved by referees. In this case, none of the author(s) can claim a right or demand. All kinds of management, practice and procedure belong to the chief editor of the journal. The relevant paper prepared in English is evaluated by the English language editor. Also, every paper is evaluated in terms of the writing rules of our journal by the technical editor. If the English language editor decides that the paper is inappropriate for our journal, the authorized person who will REJECT or amend this decision is the chief editor. Language editor and technical editor don’t have the right to REJECT. They transmit their suggestions to the chief editor and the chief editor unilaterally applies the decision in line with the demands and suggestions. Field editors transmit their opinions regarding evaluation and publication of the papers uploaded to the system to the chief editor. The chief editor acts with her/his own authority in line with the opinions and suggestions of field editors. Major or minor corrections can be made after the evaluation of papers. Author(s) are requested for corrections THREE times. If the corrections aren’t made after three demands, the article is rejected after the chief editor is informed by the system editor. The manuscripts uploaded to the website are first analyzed by system editor or technical editor before sending to the referee. This analysis is performed within the framework of spelling rules. System or technical editor informs author(s) about the necessary demands. If these demands aren’t satisfied, the chief editor is informed about the result. Chief Editor makes the final decision according to the information. This decision is unilaterally up to the chief editor either in a negative or positive way. None of the institutions and individuals has the right to impose sanction on the decision made.

The paper uploaded is sent to the relevant field editor by the system manager and asked for approval for referee evaluation. If there are more than one author name in the paper, this information should be inserted in the system together with the names and institutions of author(s) while uploading the paper to the system.

Our journal and management only take into account the information uploaded to the system by author(s).
16. The language of our journal is Turkish and English. However, the papers prepared in different situations and principles are accepted in other languages.

17. The author cannot decide on which referee will evaluate the paper and won’t know the information of the referee making the evaluation. After the referee evaluation of the relevant paper, the correspondent author who accepts the responsibility in uploading the paper to the system is informed via the web system. The e-mail address in the journal system should be valid and correct. The member author is unilaterally responsible for any delay and problem that may arise about the authors whose membership information isn’t valid and correct in the system. Our journal doesn’t address comments to other authors. The member author who uploads the paper to the system is the addressee and the responsibility belongs to the relevant author. If the paper is uploaded to the system by someone else whose name isn’t in the paper, the relevant member becomes responsible for this situation. Our journal and management are never responsible for possible problems. All kinds of correspondences and information related to the article are directed to the member author. Our journal isn’t supposed to inform other author(s).
18. Information about the authors and the materials of communication are confidential and it is only known by system manager and the editor.

20. Our journal is an "e" electronic journal but is also published in paper version. Individuals who would like to get printed version of the journal can obtain it by paying the necessary fee to the relevant printing company. Our journal does not have to provide printed version of the journal to any author or individual. Annual membership fee should also be sent to relevant printing company for works sent to our journal. A reasonable amount of fee is requested from the author of the paper approved for publication considering the journal expenses and according to the conditions of that time. The relevant author or the person who makes the payment is sent a receipt about the payment by the beneficiary company.
21. Evaluation process of works uploaded to the system is two months. Works which are not evaluated within this period of time and about which information report is not received are sent to a different referee. Author(s) cannot claim a right on our journal and management because of this delay. It is out of question for the papers being in the referee evaluation process to be withdrawn from the journal under any circumstances.

23. Publication and copyright of published papers belong to our journal. Publication right of every paper uploaded to the system is automatically transferred to the journal. The responsible author approves the transfer contract created at the same time with the button on the website while uploading the paper to the system. None of the authors are requested to sign the copyright agreement for this procedure. Journal management has the right to demand transfer agreement with wet signature if required. The papers being in the referee evaluation process cannot be withdrawn from the publication. A valid reason should be indicated for the papers that are withdrawn. Otherwise, legal action is unilaterally taken against the relevant author(s). Author(s) approve these conditions in advance for the paper uploaded to the system. None of the author(s) have a right to object.

Our journal is never asked to accept such a responsibility. Our journal and management doesn’t have to ask or monitor this information.
