Articles can be submitted to the UJHC by registering in the "Article Management System" on the web. Articles sent by e-mail will not be taken into consideration.

The compliance of the article with the spelling rules of the Journal is examined and similarity checks are made to prevent plagiarism. Similarity software is used in the checking process. The overall similarity rate should be less than 20%, If the similarity rate is more than 20%, the study is either rejected or sent back to the author to reduce the similarity rate. The pre-review is completed within a maximum of 10 days. Click for pre-examination criteria.

After the study passes the stages of pre-review and similarity checking, it is reviewed by the relevant editor/field editor in terms of subject, scope, language use, and academic competence. This review is completed within a maximum of 5 days.

Studies that pass the pre-review and editorial review undergo a confidential double-blind peer review process. Within the double-blind strategy, the identity of the peer reviewer is concealed from the author submitting publications to the journal. Similarly, the peer reviewers do not know who wrote the article they are reviewing. In other words, the peer review process is conducted by keeping both authors and peer reviewers anonymous to each other. Articles are sent to at least two referees for evaluation. (Click for the Article Evaluation Form, and click here for the Book Evaluation Referee Form.) The reports are also stored in the Article Management System. Click for detailed information.

Authors take into account the feedback, criticisms, and recommendations of the reviewer and the Editorial Board. In case of any disagreement, they have the right to appeal with their justifications. Authors edit the article as per the reports and upload the final version of the article to the system.

The field editor checks whether the author has made the requested corrections in the text. If there is a “Major Revision” requirement in the peer review reports, they send the article to the relevant peer reviewer. If there is an "Acceptance" or "Minor Revision" requirement and the revisions are completed, they can submit the article for language checks. If they detect that the corrections have not been made, they re-send the article to the author. They may reject the article if the author does not make the corrections again. Articles that are not accepted for publication are not deleted from the system. Their processes and files are stored in the system.

Studies that pass the peer-review process are examined by the Turkish Language Editor, and if necessary, corrections are requested from the author. The checking process is completed within a maximum of 15 days.

Studies that pass Turkish language control are examined by the English Language Editor, and if necessary, corrections are requested from the author.
