Reviewer Guidelines

 

Before beginning the evaluation process, the evaluator is requested to verify whether the submitted research falls within their academic specialization or not. If the research falls within their academic specialization, does the evaluator have enough time to complete the evaluation process? The evaluation process should not exceed five days. After the evaluator agrees to conduct the evaluation process and complete it within the specified period, the evaluation process should be carried out according to the following specifications:

 

1. Is the research valuable or original enough to warrant publication in the journal?

2. Does the research comply with the journal's general policy and publication guidelines?

3. Has the research concept been discussed in previous studies? If yes, please cite those studies.

4. How well the title and content of the research are expressive.

5. Indicate whether the abstract clearly describes the content and idea of the research.

6. Does the introduction of the research accurately describe and clarify the author's goal? Did the author clearly explain the problem they studied?

7. Does the author discuss the results they reached during their research in a scientific and convincing manner?

8. The evaluation process must be conducted confidentially, and the author must not be informed of any aspect of it.

9. If the reviewer wishes to discuss the research with another reviewer, the editor-in-chief must be informed.

10. There should be no direct correspondence or discussions between the reviewer and the author regarding the submitted research. The reviewer's comments should be sent to the author via the journal's editor-in-chief.
