Evaluation process

Preliminary assessment

Original articles, translations and book reviews can be sent to the Avrasya Dosyasi Journal.
All manuscripts sent to the journal are first evaluated by the editors. Manuscripts that are not within the scope of the journal's publication and that do not comply with the academic writing format in terms of content and stylistic conditions are rejected or some changes may be requested without starting the refereeing process. The result of the editorial review is notified to the author. No article can be accepted for publication by the editors without a positive referee report.

If the translations of the articles published in peer-reviewed academic journals in different languages are found suitable for the publication scope of the journal, they are checked by the language editors of the journal and published if the translation is found appropriate.

Plagiarism Scan

Plagiarism is a publication ethics violation that has been encountered quite frequently in academic circles recently. All articles, book reviews and translations submitted to the Avrasya Dosyasi Journal are subject to plagiarism scanning through plagiarism detection software in order to fight against plagiarism and to act in accordance with publication ethics. The software used for this purpose is the Turnitin Plagiarism Detection Program. If the similarity rate of the scanned article is above 15% in the scan to be made with the program, the article is rejected by the Editorial Board without being included in the referee process. The plagiarism report of the rejected article is also shared with the author. The rejected article will not be re-evaluated in any way. Research articles that are clean as a result of plagiarism screening are accepted to the referee process; translation and book introduction articles are reviewed by the editorial board.

Peer Evaluation (Double Stage Blind Referee System)

Every article that is sent to the Avrasya Dosyasi Journal for publication and passes the preliminary evaluation and plagiarism screening goes through the referee evaluation process specified below. At every stage of the process, a double-blind peer-review system is applied, where the names of the referees and authors are kept confidential.

The articles that pass the preliminary evaluation stage are sent to two referees determined by the Editor and/or Editorial Board from different institutions. Considering their areas of expertise, both the members of the editorial and advisory board of the journal and external academics can be determined as referees.

The referees evaluate the manuscripts sent to them in terms of originality, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of the findings and supporting the results, and benefiting from previous studies.

Referees may accept or reject the article or ask the authors to correct the format and/or content. In order for an article to be accepted for publication, at least two referees must give a positive opinion. If one of the referee reports is positive and the other is negative, the article is sent to a third referee.

In case the referee or referees request correction, the author sends the article again by completing the requested corrections within 15 days at the latest, taking into account the criticisms and suggestions made by the referees. Reviewers may request more than one correction for the same article.

The article that is not approved for publication by two referees will not be accepted for publication and the articles that are not accepted for publication are returned to their authors.

Referee reports are kept by the journal editor for 5 years.

Authors can object to the negative opinions of the referees, provided that they show evidence against the changes and corrections they want. This objection is reviewed by the Editorial Board and if necessary, a different referee's opinion is sought.

In order for their work to be published, the authors must take into account the opinions and suggestions of the referees and the Editorial Board.

The final evaluation is made by the Editorial Board for all the articles that are in the publishing phase with a positive opinion of the referees. Articles that are decided to be "published" by the Editorial Board are placed in the publication order.

Authors who submit articles to the Avrasya Dosyasi Journal are deemed to have accepted the aforementioned referee evaluation conditions and process.
