ULISA: Journal of International Studies has a strict publication approach against plagiarism and predatory journalism. Therefore, authors who wish to submit their work to the journal are required to have their work contribute to academic fields, be original and based on research, comply with the publication rules, have Turnitin or İThenticate plagiarism report (similarity rate should not exceed 10%), have not been published elsewhere or sent for publication; presentations made in symposiums and congresses should not have been published before. At the same time, authors are required to pay attention to the level of contribution of the authors to the research in multi-authored studies, and to declare that they have read and accepted the publication and writing principles of the journal. On the other hand, ULISA: Journal of International Studies attaches importance to the fact that the referees, who are among the most important stakeholders of the academic publication process, act with the awareness that they are the main determinants of the academic quality of the studies and act in accordance with their responsibility to increase academic quality. For this purpose, ULISA: Journal of International Studies prioritises the submission of manuscripts to be evaluated to referees appropriate to their areas of expertise and academic experience; referees only pay attention to the accuracy of the content of the articles and their compliance with academic criteria, the objectivity and moderation of their reports, and the completion of their evaluations within the time given to them. The editor, deputy editors and other responsible persons of the journal are expected to ensure that the academic publication process is carried out in a healthy way by accepting and pre-evaluating the studies that will contribute to the fields addressed by the journal and rejecting the studies that do not meet the specified criteria. In addition, it is their primary responsibility to protect the mutual confidentiality between researchers and referees, to make efforts to prevent possible plagiarism in the studies and to prioritise academic and ethical principles in all kinds of processes of the journal. Any legal, juridical, economic and ethical responsibility that may arise from the articles submitted to ULISA: Journal of International Studies belongs to the authors, even if the article in question is published. The journal does not accept any liability.
