Peer Review Process

The works sent to JIMuseumED are evaluated by a double-blind peer review system. As a result of the evaluations of independent referees, candidate work can be sent to a third referee or the final decision can be made by the editor. Candidate articles sent to JIMuseumED must meet the following conditions in order to be included in the evaluation and publication process. Articles that do not meet these conditions and do not comply with journal writing rules are rejected without the need for referee evaluation and are returned to the author (s).

1. Manuscripts submitted to JIMuseumED must not be published in another journal or sent for publication. Papers presented previously in a congress - provided that the whole study has not been published in the congress book - and the articles compiled from the postgraduate thesis study should be indicated at the end of the page with a footnote containing the necessary information. Any responsibility for the published works belongs to the author (s).
2. The studies reaching the journal are pre-examined by the editorial board in terms of the scope of the journal and compliance with the writing rules. As a result of this examination, the studies deemed appropriate are submitted to the evaluation of two referees. The referees are given 20 days to evaluate, and the referee who has not returned within this period is granted a one-time, 7-day grace period. If he does not evaluate work during this time, a new referee is appointed. In order for the candidate work to be published in the journal, both referees must obtain a positive opinion. If one of the referees gives a positive opinion and the other gives a negative opinion, the study is submitted to the final opinion of the Editor or a third referee. The author (s) are obliged to make the corrections suggested by the referee (s) (if any). Studies that receive the printable report from the referee (s) enter the "Regulation" process. During this process, iThenticate plagiarism screening is carried out. As a result of the screening, studies that are not ethically problematic are sent to the author together with the report and they are asked to finalize the study. Ethically problematic studies may be sent to the author by the Editor with a request for correction or may be rejected. The final shape of the studies is put on the string. Before the publication, the work is sent to the author for final control and approval. Approved work can be published from the front view without waiting for the number of time (research studies only) or can wait for the publication date of the new issue. Changes to published works can be made by contacting the Editor no later than 4 days after the relevant volume is published.
3. The referee (s) do not have any information about the author (s) and the author (s) does not have any information about the referee (s). The responsibility of ensuring confidentiality in this matter belongs to the editors of the journal.
