Reviewer Guideline

1. Referees should act with the awareness that they are the essential determinant of the academic quality of the article to be published in the journal and should evaluate it to increase academic quality.

2. To make an appropriate appraisal, referees should only accept articles that they have the expertise necessary. In addition, they should only receive the pieces that they can adhere to the double-blind peer-review secrecy, and they should keep the details of the article in every way confidential.

3. Referees should not share any information about the article examined in the review process with anyone in any way.

4. Referees should only evaluate the correctness of the content of the articles and the appropriateness of the academic criteria. The opinions put forth in the article by authors may differ from those of the referees. The differences should not affect the evaluation.

5. Referee reports should be objective and moderate and must avoid defamatory, derogatory, and accusatory statements.

6. Referees should avoid superficial and ambiguous expressions in evaluation reports. For the evaluations that resulted negatively, the missing points and flaws of the article must be clear and concrete.

7. Referees must evaluate the articles within the time frame granted to them. If they are not able to assess the article, they must notify the journal within a reasonable time.
