Ethical Responsibilities and Policies

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 Manuscripts submitted to JIMuseumED must not be published in another journal or sent for publication.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. For the candidate's 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, the studies, which are 20% and below (except for the bibliography), are sent to the author with the report and asked to give the final form to the study. Works with 21% and above can be corrected or rejected by the Editor. 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.

1. All authors submitting studies to the journal are expected to act within the framework of universal ethical principles (scientific accuracy, reliability of data and analysis, honesty, impartiality, and social responsibility, etc.).

5. If the author (s) notices a mistake or error related to his published, evaluation phase, he/she has a responsibility to inform the editor of the journal, to correct his work, or to cooperate with the editor in the process of withdrawal.
6. The author (s) should not have their work in more than one journal at the same time and should not be published in another journal.

Editors are responsible for publishing this notice. The correction process is also indicated via Crossmark.
