Research and Publication Ethics

  • Authors should adhere to ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) recommendations and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics)'s international standards for editors and authors.
    Compliance with the principles of scientific research and publication ethics is evaluated within the framework of the provisions of Article 4 of the Inter-University Council Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive, Article 9 of Regulations of the TUBITAK Committee on Research and Publication Ethics and Article 6 of the Higher Education Council Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive.

    Authors’ Responsibilities
    Before submitting an article, authors should ensure that they satisfy the following criteria.
        • Authors must claim, that the submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration. If authors decide to submit their manuscript to another journal, they must     withdraw their paper from The Journal of Institute of Black Sea Studies.
        • The corresponding author will ensure that all contributing co-authors have approved the final version of the manuscript and agreed to its submission for publication. Only authors who have made a     significant contribution to the submitted study will be included.
        • Authors must ensure that their manuscript is original and provide a list of references for the material that is taken from other sources.
        • Authors must acknowledge their funding for the submitted manuscript. They must state all sources of financial support they received and the role of the funder.
        • Authors must carefully read the copyright statement and accept responsibility for releasing necessary information during the submission process.
        • Authors should ensure that their data belong to them. If authors do not own the data, they must state that they have permission to use it.
        • Ethical committee approval should be obtained for studies on clinical and experimental human and animals requiring “Ethics Committee Decision” and this approval should be stated and documented in     the paper.
        • Authors must state any potential conflict of interest on submission of their manuscript.
        • Authors are obliged to participate in a peer review process of their submitted manuscript. They should respond to all the comments and any recommendations of reviewers before the given deadline.
        • All contributing authors have a responsibility to inform the Editor of the Journal of Institute of Black Sea Studies immediately, if any error or mistake occurs after the submission of a manuscript or after     the publication of a manuscript.
        • The Copyright Transfer Form should be signed and sent with the paper submission.

  • Reviewers’ Responsibilities
        • Reviewers should keep the review process confidential.
        • Reviewers should inform the Journal Editor, if they suspect any potential competing interest.
        • Reviewers should evaluate all manuscripts objectively and professionally during the review process.

  • Editors’ Responsibilities
        • Editors should ensure that the manuscripts conform to the ethical policies of their journal.
        • Editors should not discriminate against authors on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation.

        • Editors should ensure that authors and reviewers are properly advised regarding the review process as well as publication ethics and policies.
        • Editors will handle any misconduct that occurs during the submission process. If Editors become aware of that research misconduct or the use of fraudulent data has occurred, studies will not be eligible     for publication. Editors will not encourage such misconduct. Editors will issue a retraction notice, if there is any evidence that the findings are unreliable due to error or misconduct; if the manuscript has     been published elsewhere without any permission; if the manuscript involves plagiarism, and if the manuscript involves unethical research.
        • Editors will request a correction, if a contributing author is omitted or an author who has not contributed to the manuscript is included in the author list. If an error or mistake is identified in a manuscript,     corrections will be made immediately after Editors and all authors agree on the corrections. When necessary, Editors welcome and publish any retractions, corrections, and clarifications submitted by the     authors.

  • Plagiarism Policy
    Authors are required to submit plagiarism reports of their publications to our journal in order to investigate suspicious and abuse cases and to avoid undesirable situations such as duplication/plagiarism. According to this;
        • The similarity report is made by the author using iThenticate or Turnitin similarity programs and uploaded to the related section while the work is uploaded to the system.
        • Only “Exclude Bibliography” and “Exclude sources that are less than 5 words” settings should be used in the settings.
        • Studies with more than 20% similarity and more than 5% similarity as a result of the screening are not taken into preliminary evaluation.
        • Studies with a similarity rate of less than 20% are controlled in the following ways.
            o Whether or not a source is given at the end of each citation,
            o Whether or not resources are given in sections with similarity,
            o Whether or not the similarity is the main source.
        • The study will not be evaluated If there are block quotes in the study if the similarity references are not made or if the similarity is from a source other than the main source and there is no transfer     statement.
        • Preliminary evaluation of the articles that pass these reviews is completed.
    Any responsibility for ethical violations rests with the authors.

  • Copyright and Access
        • The author accepts that the publisher of The Journal of Institute of Black Sea Studies holds and retains the copyright of the published articles.
