In scientific articles sent to the Journal of Sustainable Engineering Practices and Technological Developments, the Higher Education Institutions Scientific Research and Publication Ethics directive and the principles set by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) for Editors and Authors should be taken into account.

Authors' duties

Authors of the original research paper should present the significance of the work performed. Basic data should be correctly displayed in the article. The article should contain sufficient details and references to allow others to reproduce the work. Fraud or knowingly false statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Authors may be asked to provide raw data of their work with the article for editorial review and, if applicable, should be prepared so that the data is publicly available.

Authors will submit only completely original works and cite other works as appropriate. The publications that are effective in determining the quality of the article should also be mentioned.

In general, articles describing the same research should not be published in more than one journal. Submitting the same article to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Articles published elsewhere as copyrighted material cannot be submitted.

Anyone who has made significant contributions should be listed as a co-author. The corresponding author ensures that all contributing co-authors are found and that people who have never joined the author list are not added. The corresponding author also confirms that all co-authors have approved the final version of the article and accepted it to be submitted for publication.

When the author discovers that there is a material error or inaccuracy in his published work, he is obliged to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the article.

Authors Responsibilities

The author(s) before and/or during the submission process;

Ensure that all submitted research is original, fully referenced, and accurately represented by all authors. Submission must be private and not considered elsewhere.

Provide accurate contact information for a designated author whose publisher and editor are deemed to be fully responsible for the authorship of the article and for all communications regarding the moral status and originality of the article.

Give the source of all data and third-party materials by the authors, including work that has not been previously published. Any element that could compromise the originality of the presentation should be explicitly avoided and/or discussed with the editorial office in the first instance.

Identify any third party's contribution to the article they intend to include in their article and in each case obtain written permission from the respective copyright holders for reuse. These permissions should be submitted when the article is accepted or requires acceptance of minor changes.

Expect transparency, efficiency, and respect from the publisher and editor in the submission process. Keep in good communication with both the publisher and the editor.

Cooperate with the withdrawal of articles found to be unethical, misleading or harmful, as well as in case of incorrect publication. Keep in good communication with the editor(s), publisher and other authors. Also, consider the principles outlined below.

1. The journal, which reflects an original research in the fields of science, technology and engineering at national and international level with its findings and results, scans research articles that contribute to science, a sufficient number of scientific articles (at least 50 sources and 10,000 words) and summarizes the subject at the current level of knowledge and technology, It accepts review articles, case reports and technical notes (maximum 2000 words and maximum 4 images/tables) that evaluate and interpret the findings by comparing them.

2. In our journal, publications such as letters to the editor or discussion are not allowed.

3. Manuscripts found suitable for evaluation in terms of writing and publication principles are directed to the referees. At least two referees are assigned to evaluate each manuscript that has been approved by the editor.

4. Blind refereeing is applied in article evaluations in our journal. The names of the referees who evaluated the articles are not notified to the authors. The referees are also allowed to evaluate the articles without seeing the names of the authors.

5. The articles sent to the referees are expected to be evaluated within 15 days. If this period is exceeded, the editor reminds the referee and gives an additional 15 days. If this period is exceeded, the editor appoints a new referee and withdraws the request from the old referee.

6. The article that receives at least two positive referee reports from the article evaluation is entitled to be published. The article, which receives a positive and a negative referee report, is sent to two more referees. The final decision about the article is made by the editors.

7. The decision to accept or reject the article is made by the editors. Articles that are not considered sufficient in line with the recommendations of the referees
