Article Evaluation Process

1. Articles sent to our journal are first reviewed by the secretary. After the secretary's review, they are sent to the editors.

2. The editors and editors review whether the article is written according to the journal's writing rules. During this process, the author may be asked for editing.

3. After the author completes the editing, the article is sent to the editor by the secretary.

4. The editor assigns editors who will work on the article during this process and the reviews are completed.

5. After the reviews, the editor sends the article to at least 2 referees who are experts in their field and work at different universities for evaluation.

6. The referees are given 15 days to evaluate the article. This period may be extended by the editor. In case the process is interrupted or prolonged, new referees may be assigned.

7. As a result of the referee evaluation of the article, the editor may request editing from the author in line with the referee's opinions.

8. If the author is of the opinion that the requested edits have been made to the article, the article is decided to be published. Otherwise, the article is rejected.

9. If the referees' opinions differ on the article, a third referee is assigned to the article by the editor. The editorial board makes its decision on the publication of the article based on the decision of the third referee.

10. Authors may object to the referees' opinions "with the condition of providing evidence". If this objection is accepted after the editorial board reviews it, a different referee's opinion is sought.

11. If the authors' articles are accepted, the article moves on to the final reading stage and the final reading process is carried out. If necessary, the author may be asked to make edits during this process. Once the final reading process is complete, the article is sent to the layout editors and the article is then moved on to the publication stage.
