Fraud: Using non-existent or falsified data in scientific research,
Distortion: To falsify research records or obtained data, to present devices or materials that are not used in the research as if they were used, to falsify or shape the research results in line with the interests of the people and organizations that receive support,
Republishing: Presenting duplicate publications as separate publications for academic appointments and promotions,
Slicing: To present the results of a research as separate publications in academic appointments and promotions by disaggregating the results of a research in a way that violates the integrity of the research and publishing it in more than one issue,

Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism, whether intentional or not, is an ethical violation. Similarity of studies with other sources without reference and publishing them in this form is not only unethical, but also a crime and unacceptable.
The Editorial Board can act in accordance with the COPE rules in the face of allegations and suspicions of plagiarism, citation manipulation and data fraud regarding the studies submitted to the journal.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Situations that provide economic or personal benefits create a conflict of interest. The reliability of the scientific process and published articles; It is directly related to the objective handling of conflicts of interest during the planning, implementation, writing, evaluation, editing and publication of scientific work.
Financial relationships are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and it is inevitable that they damage the credibility of the journal, the authors, and the science. These conflicts can be caused by personal relationships, academic competition, or intellectual approaches. Authors are not responsible for any activities that restrict access to all data of the study or analyze the data, interpret it, prepare the articles, publish it, etc. avoid entering into agreements with both for-profit and non-profit sponsors that interfere with their capabilities.
In order to avoid conflicts of interest, editors should also avoid bringing together people who may have a relationship during the evaluation of studies. Editors who make the final decision on articles should not have any personal, professional or financial ties to any of the issues they will decide on. Individuals should inform the editorial board about possible conflicts of interest so that the articles can be evaluated within the framework of ethical principles and an independent process can be carried out.
Our editorial board works devotedly to carry out the evaluation process in an impartial manner, taking all these situations into account.
