The work, which does not pass this process even though it has been examined three times during the Pre-Check stage, is returned to the author and is not processed again in the same publication period. Studies that pass the Pre-Check stage are included in the evaluation process in which at least two referees are assigned within the framework of the double-blind refereeing principle.
