Research and Publication Ethics

Publication Principles

Articles sent to Journal of Society and Identity for publication must not have been previously published in another journal, have not been sent to any other journal at the same time, or have not been accepted for publication. All ethical responsibilities regarding the article sent to the journal belong to the authors of the study.

The evaluation and publication process of the articles sent to the journal for publication consists of three stages:

In the first stage, a preliminary evaluation is made on the work. All incoming articles are pre-evaluated by the editor and field editors. This period is at most two weeks. Manuscripts that do not comply with the publication policy of the journal may be rejected directly or sent back to the author to be adapted to the publication rules.

The second stage is the referee evaluation stage. Articles deemed suitable for the publication purpose of the journal are taken into the blind referee evaluation process and sent to at least two referees. The referee evaluation process can take up to two months. The arbitration of the referees who do not submit their report within this period will be terminated by notifying them. If one of the referees gives a negative report, the article is sent to the third referee. The time spent here may be a month at most. If the third referee also gives a negative report, the editor makes the decision about the publication status of the article. If both referees give a negative report, the manuscript will not be published.

The third stage is the preparation of the study for publication. Articles that pass the evaluation process are published online after receiving the approval of the author or authors, typesetting in accordance with the journal template, in the issue appropriate to the journal publication period.

The editor has the authority to suggest corrections and changes that he/she deems necessary during the preparation of the articles sent to the journal for publication in line with the comments and suggestions of the referees. The editor has authority also to reject or approve the article in any process.

 The author has the right to withdraw his article at all stages.
