For experimental, clinical and drug research, an appropriate ethics commission report is required for relevant international agreements. All surveys submitted for publication in the journal are to be submitted to the Helsinki Declaration / Laboratory Animal Care Guide (Helsinki Declaration of 1975, revised 2008-http: //www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/index.html, "Guide forthecareanduse of laboratoryanimals - www.nap.edu/catalog/5140.html and the Guide for theCareandUse of Laboratory Animals). The submitted inquiries should indicate that informed consent has been received from the participants. It should be noted that informed consent has been obtained from persons who are primarily responsible for individuals who are not competent to make decisions (children, patients in coma, etc.). If any financial support has been provided to the submitted works, the authors should explain what kind of a relationship it is; if there is a relationship of interest with the institutions providing this support.

BLIND REGISTRATION AND EVALUATION PROCESS (Peer Review Process)

Blind arbitration is a method applied for publishing scientific publications with the highest quality. This method is the basis of an objective evaluation of scientific studies and is preferred by many scientific journals. Referee views have a decisive place in JAREN's broadcast quality. All works submitted to our magazine are evaluated by blinding according to the following steps.

Blind Review Type

JAREN uses the double blind method in the evaluation process of all studies. Author and reviewer identities are hidden in the double blind method.

Initial Evaluation Process

The works submitted to our publication are first evaluated by the editors. At this stage, studies that are not in line with the aim and scope of the magazine, that are weak in terms of language and narrative rules in Turkish and English, that contain scientifically critical mistakes, that do not have an original value and that can not meet publication policies are rejected. The authors of rejected studies are notified. Eligible studies are sent to a field editor for the field in which the study is relevant for the preliminary evaluation.

Initial Evaluation Process

In the preliminary evaluation process, the field editors examine in detail the studies, introduction and literature, method, findings, result, evaluation and discussion sections in terms of journal publication policies and coverage and originality. As a result of this review, works that are not suitable are returned with the field editor's evaluation report. Eligible studies are awarded to the reviewing process.

Reviewing Process

Studies are reviewed according to their content and the expertise of the reviewers. The field editor reviewing the work may propose at least two reviewers from the JAREN reviewer pool according to their field of expertise or may propose a new reviewer appropriate to the field of study. The reviewer suggestions coming from the field editor is evaluated and the studies are forwarded to the reviewers. Reviewers are obliged to guarantee that they will not share any process or document about the study they are evaluating.

Reviewer Reports

Reviewer evaluations are based in general on the originality, method used, conformity with ethical rules, consistent presentation and detection of findings and results of studies, and reviewing in terms of literature. This review is made based on the following elements:
1. Introduction and literature: The evaluation report contains opinions on the presentation and purpose of the problem addressed in the study, the importance of the issue, the scope of the relevant literature, the currency and the originality of the study.
2. Method: The evaluation report contains information on the appropriateness of the method used, the choice and characteristics of the research group, information on validity and reliability, as well as on the data collection and analysis process.
3. Findings: The evaluation report includes opinions on the presentation of the findings in the frame of the method, the correctness of the analysis methods, the aims of the research, the consistency of the findings, the necessary tables, figures and images, and the conceptual evaluation of the tests used.
4. Evaluation and discussion: The evaluation report includes opinions related to the discussion of the subject, suitability to research question(s) and hypotheses, generalizability and applicability based on the findings.
5. Conclusion and recommendations: The evaluation report includes opinions on the contribution to literature, recommendations for the future work and applications in the field.
6. Style and narrative: The evaluation report includes opinions on the content of the study title, the appropriate use of Turkish language, the submission of references and the provision of references in the language of the full text in accordance with the "Vancouver" rules.
7. Overall evaluation: The evaluation report contains opinions on the originality of the study as a whole, its contribution to the literature and the applications in the area.
Reviewers are not expected to make corrections according to the typographic characteristics of the study during the evaluation process.

Reviewer Evaluation Process

The period given to the reviewer for the evaluation process is 6 weeks. Proposals for corrections from reviewers or editors must be completed by the authors within 1 month in accordance with the "Request for Revision". Reviewers can review the corrections of each study to determine their suitability and, if necessary, request multiple corrections.

Evaluation Result

Opinions from the reviewers are reviewed by the field editor. As a result of this review, the field editor will forward the final decision on the study to the editors.

Editorial Board Decision

The editors prepare relevant editorial board opinions based on the field editor and reviewer views. The prepared opinions are forwarded to the author(s) by the editor together with the field editor and the reviewer recommendations. In this process, negative reviews are returned without requesting plagiarism audit. Acceptance of studies given positive opinions is given according to the results of the plagiarism audit reports.

How long does the Publication Evaluation Process last?

It is envisaged that the publication evaluation process of the studies submitted to JAREN will be finalized within approximately 6 months. However, the period between the date which the reviewers or the editors requested from the author(s) for correction and the date the author(s) completed the corrections is not included in this 6-month period.

Early printings will be published in volumes and issues that the editorial board finds appropriate.

Plagiarism Inspection

JAREN obliges the plagiarism inspection for all of the works that are passed the process of “Blind Refereeing” in order to protect their integrities. In this scope, Turkish and English copies of all of the works are sent to a company which is approved by editorial board for plagiarism inspection. The economic responsibilities that are occurred in the inspection process belong to the authors.
Plagiarism inspection is made by using Turnitin and IThenticate software by the publisher. The match-ups of every work that are surfaced by the software are being examined closely and picked over the correct references and citations. The remaining match-ups are being examined and the located errors are documented for the publisher. Editorial board makes its final decision in the light of plagiarism reports of every work. The correction of the errors that are partaking in the works can be asked from the authors or the works can be returned to the author.

Reference, Cross-Reference and Citation Control

Scientific mistakes made in the studies, whether intentionally or unintentionally, are undermining the reliability of the publication.
JAREN considers that the references of the studies which are accepted after the evaluation must be given correctly and completely within the scope of publication ethics. In this context, every work that is accepted is passed from bibliography, cross-reference and citation control by a company which the board finds appropriate. The cost of the control carried out is the responsibility of the author(s).
The bibliography, cross-reference and citation control of accepted studies are conducted in the following steps for full text in Turkish and English:

  • The bibliography is organized in accordance with the procedures and principles contained in the Vancouver Code of Conduct.
  • It is checked whether the in-text citations of each reference are given according to the procedures and principles, and the ones that are incorrect are corrected.
  • References to in-text citations are checked. The missing ones are requested from the writers, and the ones that are incorrect are corrected.

The procedures and principles of referring in Turkish are valid for Turkish full text and in English for English text.

Layout and Composition Operations

JAREN requires formality, readability, and uniformity of prints, with a uniform and complete page layout, in accordance with standards. In this context, a company which is approved by the publishing board arranges the page order and string of the studies completed with their plagiarism control and bibliographic regulation.

Dispatch of DOI Number

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique access number that allows identification and access of any work published in the electronic environment. It is mandatory to give a DOI number for every work published in JAREN or in early edition. After the acceptance stage, the DOI number is given by the editorial board to the studies which are accepted after plagiarism and bibliographic control and are prepared for printing.

Early Edition

JAREN values spreading of current and original information. In this context, studies that are accepted by completing the evaluation phase and completed after the acceptance process are electronically published in early printing. Early issued publications are published with the volume and number of pages that the editorial board considers appropriate and are removed from the early edition. Studies in early printing may not be the latest version to be published in the normal issue. Minor editing can be made on the work to be published as a final version.

LANGUAGE REGULATION

The work should be written in a clean and fluent language that is free from foreign words. In this context, the fact that studies being redacted before submission for evaluation ensures that the publishing processes are maintained in a healthier way.
