Duties of authors:
Articles should be detailed and referenced enough to allow others to replicate them. False and false statements are unethical and unacceptable. Simultaneous submission of an article to several publications or submission of published or accepted articles in other publications is against the rules. The articles presented by the authors should be the author's own work and any use of other people's research should be cited in the article. All those who have a significant contribution to the work should be named as co-authors or acknowledged as collaborators. The corresponding author must ensure that the names of all co-authors are included in the article and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the article and agree to submit it to the journal for publication. Whenever the author notices any error or inaccuracy in his article, he should inform the editor of the magazine or the publisher about it and take action to correct it or withdraw the article.
Editors’ responsibilities:
The editor of the magazine works actively to improve the quality of the magazine. The editor is responsible for making decisions regarding the publication of articles sent to the journal. Examining the articles in terms of being in sync with the policies of the editors’ group (editorial board) of the publication and being bound by the approved laws is one of the other duties of the editor. The editor should review the article only in terms of content and without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnicity, citizenship or political orientation of the authors. The editor and any member of the editorial team shall not disclose any information about the submitted article except to the corresponding author, referees, editors and publisher. The refereeing process in this journal will be one-way refereeing, so that the referee is unknown to the author, but the referee sees the author's name. The editor cannot use the unpublished material in the submitted articles without the written permission of the author.
Duties of reviewers:
The reviewers help the editor of the journal in the quality, content and scientific review of the articles in order to publish the article. The reviewers communicate with the author through the editor to help the author to improve the quality and content of the article. All information contained in the articles should be considered confidential for the reviewer and should not be shown or discussed to anyone except those authorized by the editor. Judging of articles should be based on scientific documentation and sufficient reasoning, and should be clearly expressed, and refrain from expressing personal and tasteful opinions in the judging of articles. The reviewer should draw the editor's attention to any significant similarities or overlaps between the articles under review or any other published articles of which he is aware. Special information or ideas obtained during the arbitration must be kept confidential and must not be used for personal gain. Any referee who feels that he lacks the necessary qualifications to review a research work for any reason, whether the topic of the article is not in the field of work or the refereeing process is prolonged due to lack of time or lack of access to sufficient facilities, etc., should inform the editor and withdraw from the article review process. Paying attention to the sources used in the article is one of the duties of the referees, all the researches, topics and quotations used in the article must be accompanied by complete references in the bibliography.
