Strictly adheres to the general ethical guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). Depending on the principles and general publication requirements set out in these guidelines, editors, reviewers and authors should take the following responsibilities according to professional and ethical standards. The proper and ethical functioning of the publication process depends on the fulfillment of these responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Ethical Responsibilities of Editors:<\/strong> The editor is responsible for the proper execution of the publication process of all articles published in the journal.

The editor takes care that the published articles are compatible with the knowledge and skills of the journal readers. The editor sends the articles to the referees who are suitable for their knowledge and expertise. It is ensured that the referees are scientists who evaluate the articles objectively, fulfill the refereeing process on time, evaluate the article with constructive criticism and act in accordance with the ethical rules. Thus, it is ensured that the articles are evaluated appropriately by experts in the field. It is noted that the referees have no conflict of interest with the author(s). The editor takes care that the peer review process continues with double blindness; the authors are not allowed to know the referees and the referees are not allowed to know the authors.<\/p>\n

Ethical Responsibilities of Referees:<\/strong> Referees are only required to referee articles related to their field of expertise. The reviewers should conduct the assessment in a neutral and confidential manner. When the referees understand that there is a conflict of interest, they should inform the editors by refusing to evaluate the article. Referees are required to fill out the Referee Evaluation Form for the articles they evaluate. The reviewers are also required to state in this form whether the article they are evaluating can be published or not, and the reasons for their decision. Referees should conduct the evaluation in a constructive manner in accordance with academic etiquette and avoid personal comments that involve insults and hostility. Reviewers are required to complete their assessments within the time allotted to them and are expected to comply with the ethical responsibilities set forth herein.<\/p>\n

Ethical Responsibilities of the Author(s):<\/strong> Submitted articles should be original studies suitable for the specified fields of study. They should indicate the persons who have a significant share in their work as co-authors. Persons who do not contribute to the article should not be written as authors, and it should not be recommended to change the author order of an article applied for publication, to remove an author, or to add an author. A work cannot be published without the consent of all of its authors. The bibliography list should be complete and prepared correctly, and the quoted sources should be specified. The author(s) cannot send their articles sent for publication to another journal at the same time. Articles submitted for publication should not be contrary to scientific publication ethics (plagiarism, forgery, distortion, republication, slicing, unfair authorship, not specifying the supporting organization). Ethics committee approval must be obtained for clinical and experimental studies on humans and animals that require ethics committee approval, and this approval must be specified and documented in the article.
