Yegah Musicology Journal has eliminated the risk of becoming a predatory journal by requiring upfront article processing charges, regardless of acceptance or rejection, in line with the recommendations of YÖK, ÜAK, and ULAKBİM. (It is included in the category of "journals that charge publication fees during the application process, regardless of acceptance or rejection" for ÜAK Associate Professorship applications. Therefore, it can be used for all academic applications, academic incentives, and associate professorship applications.) For this reason, the review process for articles will not begin without the required fee payment.

Initially, when articles are uploaded to the system along with other documents, authors are required to pay the article fee to cover processing costs, editorial services, layout, and all other expenses.

"If the article's extended abstract contains a minimum of 800 words and the total length of the text, including the references, exceeds 9,000 words or 40 pages, the author must pay an additional layout fee equal to 10% of the editorial fee. However, under no circumstances will an article be evaluated if it exceeds 50 pages or 10,000 words in total, including the abstract and references. Since such an article is at the level of a book, it is not recommended to be used as an article. Please be sure to calculate the page and word count of your article before sending it."

After the secretariat verifies the information, the authors' articles are first subjected to a similarity report through Ithenticate. Articles with less than 20% similarity are checked for compliance with the writing guide and sent to the editor for scientific evaluation. The editor checks the payment receipt for articles approved by the editor and the peer review process begins. The peer review process will not begin for articles for which the fee has not been paid. In addition, authors will be informed of all necessary developments via the media at this stage.

Accordingly;
1- In case of editorial rejection: 80% of the fee paid by the authors of articles rejected as a result of the editor's evaluation will be refunded. The remaining 20% will be deducted as secretariat, operation, and editorial fees.
2- In case of rejection by reviewers: For authors whose articles are rejected as a result of the evaluations of both the editor and the reviewers, 50% of the fee they paid will be refunded, depending on the reviewers' evaluation. The remaining fee will be deducted as secretariat, editorial review, and operation fees.

Important Note: For any questions regarding the fee, please contact the secretariat in the bottom right corner of the page.
