GENERAL PRINCIPLES

The publication process of Üsküdar University Journal of Social Sciences (henceforth, “The Journal”) is predicated on the objective production, development and sharing of knowledge through scientific methods. The Journal promises to adhere to academic principles and prevent false practices in conformity with academic and ethical standards.

The journal employs a double-blind refereeing system.

Üsküdar University Journal of Social Sciences is an open-access journal and the article submission/evaluation process is free of charge.

The Journal has the right to edit, publish or not publish the submitted articles.

The author(s) has/have to sign the Copyright Transfer and Author Agreement and has/have to upload the form on the DergiPark page of the Journal along with the manuscript.

A. PEER-REVIEW PROCESS

Articles sent through DergiPark site are initially evaluated for format, scope, and plagiarism at the Secretariat stage. At this stage, edits may be requested from the author within the suggestions of the Secretary, Copyeditors and Language Editors. Articles that are found appropriate in terms of format, scope and originality are transferred to the Editorial stage. In the editorial stage, the article is sent to the expert referees (two referees) after the editorial board evaluation. The referee evaluation process is carried out in accordance with the "Double-Blind Peer-review" rule over the DergiPark system.

The referees may decide on "Accept", "Minor Revision", "Major Revision" and "Reject" for the article. Referee evaluation forms are sent to the author via DergiPark. The author(s) must take into account the criticism, evaluation and corrections of the referees and editors. In case of disagreements regarding the corrections, the author(s) has the right to report them on a separate page with their justifications.

The submitted manuscripts are published with the final decision of the Editors/Vice-Editors, after the approval of the two referees.

Based on the evaluations of the referee and editorial board, the article may be rejected at any stage of the process.

B. ARTICLE REVIEW PROCESS

Regarding the articles submitted to Üsküdar University Journal of Social Sciences for publishing, the initial editorial evaluation is made within the first 30 days. Following the editorial review, if necessary, the author is given 15 days to make the required corrections. The referee review process starts for the articles that successfully passed the initial editorial review. In the referee review process, each referee is given 7 days for accepting the invitation online, and 30 days for the review. Any of the referee’s request to have extra time based on an excuse is taken into consideration. Concerning the articles that successfully went through the referee review process, the author is given 30 days at most to complete the improvement requested by the referees.

The Editorial Board encourages academic honesty. The Editorial Board ensures the originality of the articles by uploading them on iThenticate plagiarism detection software and evaluating their originality report.

The Editorial Board always examines the claims of plagiarism and abuse in regard to published articles.
