Evaluation Process

Preliminary Control

Manuscripts submitted to the journal via DergiPark for publication and whose similarity/plagiarism report is appropriate are subject to preliminary control by the editorial board. In this process, manuscripts that do not comply with the article template, do not upload the required forms to the system, have missing information, do not fall within the scope of the journal, do not comply with ethical principles and publication policy are sent back to the author(s). In addition, the manuscripts are pre-read by the editorial board and field editors. If deemed appropriate, some changes may be requested from the author(s). Articles that do not meet the necessary conditions will not be included in the evaluation process.

Evaluation

Süleyman Demirel University Journal of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (SDÜİİBFD) applies a double-blind refereeing system in which the names of referees and authors are kept confidential. The manuscripts that pass the preliminary control stage are sent to at least two referees determined by the editorial board and field editors. The number of referees can be increased by the editorial board when necessary. Referees are selected from the referee pool by taking into account the subject of the study and their areas of expertise.

The referees evaluate the manuscripts sent to them for review by taking into account issues such as originality, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of findings, support of results and utilization of previous research. Referees may accept or reject the article and request minor/major corrections. However, reviewers may request more than one correction for a study. In order for the article to pass the evaluation stage, at least two referees must give a positive opinion. In case one of the referee evaluations is positive and one is negative, the manuscript is sent to a third referee. The author or authors must complete the corrections requested by the referees within 20 (twenty) days and upload them to the system (The edits made should be uploaded to the system as an additional file in a separate file as a summary). The processes of the articles that are not sent within the correction period and are not deemed appropriate by the Editorial Board after the correction are terminated.

The issues requested from our referees to be evaluated in the evaluation form are as follows:

• The subject of the study is suitable for the Journal of Süleyman Demirel University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences,
  
• Alignment between the title of the article and the content,
• The adequacy of the abstract, abstract and keywords of the article and their compatibility with the content,
• The level of explanation of the purpose, scope and importance of the article,
• Adequacy of the theoretical and theoretical framework of the article,
• The appropriateness of the research method used in the article,

• The level of access to the main sources in the article,
• Originality of the article and its contribution to science,
• The adequacy of the conclusions and recommendations in the article,
• Compliance of the article with spelling rules.
  

Final Control, Typesetting and Publication Process

During the evaluation process, the manuscripts are proofread after the referees have expressed a positive opinion. At this stage, the author or authors may be asked to make minor changes (figure edits, etc.). The final evaluation of the articles is made by the Editorial Board. Articles accepted for publication are placed in the publication order and typesetting.
