1) Manuscript Review

The journal uses the double-blind peer review method. Reviewers are assigned among expert researchers in their study fields. The studies submitted to the KOCATEPEİİBF are pre reviewing by the Managing Editor or Editorial Assistant for Journal's coverage, plagiarism, similarity rate, and spelling rules. The external review process begins when the Managing Editor considers the manuscript appropriate for the journal policy. Reviewer's Invitation is valid for seven days. If the reviewer accepts reviewing the manuscript, the reviewing process will start and is expected to end in 30 days. This period can be extended by Managing Editor for 15 more days once.

KOCATEPEİİBF uses the iThenticate plagiarism detection tools for preventing plagiarism and controlling similarity rates.
