Evaluation of Manuscripts
Papers should be submitted in Word DOC format electronically. Manuscripts are evaluated within ‘double-blind review’ approach. The studies examined and found suitable by the editors are sent to two independent reviwers. In the case of disagreement between these reviewers, another reviewer is applied for the evaluation. In line with the reports sent by the reviewers, the study is either accepted, rejected or requested for correction. In the last stage, the editors decide whether the accepted study will be published or not, and in which issue the study will take place in the journal.
Recieved manuscripts are replied in a month. Positive or negative opinions regarding the manuscript are definitely informed to the author(s).
