Journal Policy
Refereeing and Printing Processes
Studies reaching the journal are pre-examined by the Editorial Board in terms of the scope of the journal and compliance with the spelling rules. As a result of this review, studies that are found appropriate are submitted to the evaluation of at least two referees by blind refereeing method. The referees are given 30 days to evaluate and a new referee is appointed to replace the referee who does not return within this period. In order for the candidate work to be published in the journal, it must receive positive opinions from at least two referees. If one of the referees gives a positive opinion and the other a negative opinion, the study is submitted to the opinion of a third referee. The author(s) are obliged to make the corrections (if any) suggested by the referee(s) within 30 days. Articles that receive a publishable report from the referee(s) and that have been controlled by the journal editorial enter the publishing process. The final format of the articles is given by the author(s). The articles accepted for publication are given a DOI number and these articles are placed in the Early View section. They are then published in an appropriate number by the decision of the Editorial Board. No changes can be made on the articles that have been finalized and taken to the publication process. Authors can withdraw their work while it is in the preflight phase. It is not possible to withdraw studies that are under peer-review.
The referee(s) are not aware of the identity information of the author(s) and the author(s) of the referee(s). Responsibility for ensuring confidentiality in this matter rests with the journal editor.
