The Evaluation of Articles
As a first step, the manuscripts that are sent to SED are evaluated with regards to the rules of journal principles and orthographic rules by editors. The approved articles are delivered to Editorial Board. The Editorial Board evaluates the context of articles and sends them to two referees in related fields. This journal uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity. The Editorial Board makes final decision whether publish the article or not in terms of the referee’s report. The articles which are decided to being published by the Editorial Board, come in the list of publication and the authors of these articles are informed. The authors’ royalties of articles (published in SED) are supposed to be assigned by SED. The responsibilities of opinions in published articles are under author’s charge.
Publication Language
The publication language of SED is both in Turkish and English.
