Author Guidelines

Preliminary Review and Plagiarism Check

At this stage, the manuscript is reviewed by the editor for compliance with the journal's publication principles, academic writing rules and APA System, and the similarity report uploaded by the author is checked. The similarity rate must be less than 25%.

Field Editor Review

The work that passes the Preliminary Review and Plagiarism Scanning stage is examined by the relevant field editor in terms of problematic and academic language style.

Academic Evaluation Process

After being reviewed by the field editor, the manuscript is submitted to at least two referees who have a PhD thesis, book or article on the subject. The referee process is carried out in confidentiality within the framework of double blind refereeing. The referee is requested to state his/her opinion and opinion on the manuscript either on the text or to fill in his/her decision on the online referee form. The author is given the right to object and defend his/her views if he/she disagrees with the referee's opinions. The field editor ensures mutual communication between the author and the referee while maintaining confidentiality. If both referee reports are positive, the manuscript is submitted to the Journal Editorial Board with a proposal to consider publication. If one of the two referees expresses a negative opinion, the manuscript is sent to a third referee. Studies can be published with the positive decision of at least two referees. Translated articles are sent to language and related field experts to be evaluated in terms of conformity with the original, appropriate use of field concepts and language. Translations in which the experts express a negative opinion are not published. The publication of book and symposium reviews and doctoral thesis abstracts is decided upon the evaluation of the relevant field editors.

Academic Evaluation Period

Within a maximum of 1 week after the authors add their work to the journal system, the work is evaluated by the editor. After the preliminary review, referees are appointed within a maximum of 1 week (if the spelling is deemed appropriate). The evaluation period of the referees is 4 weeks after the manuscript is sent to the referee.

In case the referees request revisions to be made in the text they have reviewed, the relevant reports are sent to the author and he/she is asked to revise his/her work. The author submits the corrections to the field editor in a separate word file.
