Along with the article, upload the similarity check document (e.g., Turnitin, iThenticate) for the current version of your article.
Pre-evaluation
Your article is evaluated by the editor-in-chief, taking into account the pre-check report from the managing editor regarding the journal’s aim and scope, publication policy, publication ethics, and writing rules.
Forwarding to the publication editor
If deemed appropriate, the editor-in-chief forwards your article to the managing editor.
Forwarding to the field editor
The managing editor sends the article to the field editor, who assigns two or more reviewers for the article.
Reviewer decision options
The reviewer gives one of the following decisions for the article:
• Accept
• Minor Revision (no need to see the revised version)
• Minor/Major Revision (revised version must be reviewed)
• Reject
Revision period
If revision is requested, the author must make the necessary corrections within one month at the latest and upload the revised manuscript to the website.
Decision: “The revised version must be reviewed."
If the reviewer decides “the revised version must be reviewed,” the revised article is sent back to the reviewer. If the reviewer accepts it, the final decision regarding publication is made by the editor-in-chief.
Decision: “No need to see the revised version."
If the reviewer decides “no need to see the revised version,” the article is not sent back to the reviewer after revision. After the revised manuscript is uploaded by the author and the final check is completed, the editor-in-chief transfers the article to the “to be published” section.
Final check before publication

Ethics Statement and Contribution Rates
The “Ethical Statement” and “Author Contribution Statement (if there is more than one author)” must be completed and signed by the authors and attached to the e-mail. If the article requires “Ethics Committee Approval,” the name of the approving institution, the date, and the protocol number must be added to the article, and the approval document must also be attached to the e-mail.
Editor-in-Chief approval and publication
After the author completes the final check in accordance with the instructions in the e-mail, the article is published in the earliest suitable issue with the decision of the editor-in-chief.
