Fee Policy:
The publication of articles and the execution of article processes in the journal are free of charge. No processing fee or submission fee is charged under any name for articles submitted to the journal or accepted for publication. TUHED also does not accept sponsorship and advertisement due to its publication policies. All expenses of the journal are borne by the real publisher. TUHED adopts free and open-access publication policies as it aims to increase the quantity and quality of studies in the field of publications. It also provides free and unlimited access to the articles it publishes.

The originality of Articles:
TUHED does not accept studies previously published elsewhere. However, sometimes it may treat articles published in a foreign language as "translation".

Type of Refereeing:
The “Double-blind peer review” method is used. The referees who evaluate the articles do not know the author, and the author of the article does not know the relevant referees.

Evaluation Process:
Each incoming article is first checked for compliance with the journal publication pattern and plagiarism. Eligible articles are evaluated by the editor-in-chief for originality, methodology, the importance of the topic, and the scope of the journal. It is then sent to the relevant editor. The editor ensures that the relevant article goes through a fair double-blind peer review. The candidate submits the article to at least two referees from the country and/or abroad. If the referees deem it necessary, the relevant editor approves the publication after the requested changes are made by the authors. Editors mediate all interactions between reviewers and authors. The author or the referee do not know each other under any circumstances.

Time in Review: Average 42 Days / 6 Weeks

Acceptance Rate:
Approximately 55% of the articles reaching TUHED were published. Nearly a quarter of all applications were rejected in the preliminary review before they were submitted for peer review.

COPE's Best Practice Principles:
TUHED adheres to high standards in publishing ethics. TUHED accepts the Principles of Transparency and Best Practices in Scientific Publications of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics)¹.

Plagiarism Prevention:
TUHED scans all submitted articles to prevent plagiarism. Whether there is plagiarism in the studies submitted for review is checked using TURNITIN and İntihal.net databases. The similarity rate is expected to be less than  20%. The main measure of similarity is that the author complies with the citation and citation rules. Even though the similarity rate is 1%, if the citation and citation are not duly made, plagiarism may still be in question. In this respect, citation and citation rules should be known by the author and should be applied carefully.
The following are seen as ethical violations:
Plagiarism,
Duplication,
False authorship/unaccepted authorship,
Research/data fabrication, Article slicing,
Broadcast by slicing,
Copyright infringement,
Concealing a conflict of interest.
All articles that do not comply with accepted ethical standards are removed from the publication. This includes articles with possible irregularities and inconsistencies detected after publication. To prevent this, the editorial board is the experts working in different subject areas of the journal (textbooks, museum education, teacher training, etc.). Thus, healthier progress and supervision are aimed at by assigning an editor and two referees who have worked on the relevant subject to the candidate article.
Correction, Withdrawal, Expression of Concern:
If the editors detect minor errors in the published article that do not affect the findings, comments, and conclusions, they may consider correcting and publishing it. Editors can return the article for major errors/violations that invalidate the findings and conclusions.
If there is a possibility that the authors may misuse the research or publication, the editors do not consider the manuscript. If there is evidence that the findings are unreliable and that the authors' institutions did not investigate the incident, or if the possible investigation seems unfair or inconclusive, the editors return the manuscript. COPE and ICJME guidelines are taken into account concerning correction, withdrawal, or expression of concern.

Professional sharing of the chief editor:
The editor-in-chief of TUHED is a member of İLESAM² (Professional Association of Owners of Scientific and Literary Works), ÜNAK³ (Association of University and Research Librarians), and the Copyright Association⁴. The editor-in-chief is in constant communication with other editors and publishers to improve publication processes and academic publication standards.
