It is obligatory that the authors take the demands and the advices of both the reviewers and the editors. However, they are free to submit their objections against the issues they do not agree upon and the decisions of the reviewers on condition that they submit their reasonable grounds.

It is the responsibility of the authors to make their required revisions before their deadlines for re-submission. The editors are authorized to make minor revisions in accordance with the indexing criteria except for those which require substantial changes relevant to the scientific content.

JEBUPOR values the dissemination of up-to-date and original information. Therefore, those manuscripts that are accepted after the review process and whose process for publication is over are published electronically as early release. Later, these manuscripts are given page numbers and published in the volume and issue found suitable by the editorial board. The manuscripts in the early release may not be the final version to be seen in the normal issue. Minor editing may be done on the final version to be published.

LANGUAGE EDITING

In cases where manuscripts by authors whose native language is not Turkish are accepted for publication, the manuscripts should be submitted to the editorial board after their translation and editing is done by the companies indicated below.

The language (Turkish and English) of the manuscripts submitted to JEBUPOR must be accurate in terms of rules of grammar and scientific literature and must have a plain and clear language quality. Manuscripts should be written in fluent language and free of foreign words. If the manuscripts are edited before they are submitted for review, the process of publication gets healthy.

The editorial board may demand that the manuscripts be edited for language mistakes during the review process or after acception. The author(s) who has been requested to get his/her manuscript edited must do so referring to one of the companies below and present a related document to the editorial board afterwards.
