• Articles that have not been previously published or are not currently under consideration for publication in another journal and that are approved by each author are accepted for consideration.
• DUTED uses intihal.net for plagiarism detection purposes. Articles that pass the plagiarism check and are found suitable are evaluated by the editor-in-chief in terms of originality, methodology, importance of the subject covered and compatibility with the journal’s scope.
• The Editor-in-Chief evaluates the articles independently of the ethnicity, gender, nationality, religious belief and political philosophy of the authors. The Editor-in-Chief ensures that the articles submitted for publication undergo a fair double-blind peer review. The Editor-in-Chief forwards the article to a Section Editor who is an expert in the field.
• Articles are sent to at least two national/international reviewers for evaluation by the Section Editor; the publication decision is made by the Section Editor after the arrangements made by the authors in line with the requests of the reviewers and the reviewer process. A positive report from at least two referees is required at the end of the process for the acceptance decision of the article.
• The reviewers' evaluations must be objective. During the reviewing process, reviewers are expected to make their evaluations by taking the following into consideration.

-Does the article contain new and important information?
-Does the abstract clearly and accurately describe the content of the article?
-Is the method described in a complete and understandable manner?
-Are the interpretations and conclusions substantiated by the findings?
-Are there sufficient references to other studies in the field?
-Is the language quality sufficient?

Reviewers must ensure that all information regarding submitted articles remains confidential until the article is published, and they must report to the editor any copyright infringement or plagiarism they discover on the author’s part. If the reviewer does not feel qualified to address the topic of the article or is unable to provide timely feedback, reviewer should notify the editor and ask not to be involved in the review process.

During the review process, the editor makes it clear to the reviewers that the articles submitted for review are the private property of the authors and are a privileged communication. Reviewers and editorial board members cannot discuss articles with other people. Care must be taken to ensure that the identity of the reviewers remains confidential.
