Congress Stakeholder Announcement
Our journal has been a stakeholder in the "Silk Road and Beyond Congress Series" (SIRCON 2024) and the 4th International Banking Congress.
Journal Publication Policy
The Journal of Academic Opinion (JAO) is an internationally peer-reviewed journal and is published electronically twice a year (June and December).
Studies such as research and review articles, conference reports and book reviews are published in JAO.
Studies to be sent to JAO must be an original study that will fill a gap in the field or a review that evaluates previously published studies and reveals new and noteworthy views on the subject.
The opinions expressed in the studies published in JAO are the author(s') own opinion, not the journal's opinion. In addition, the scientific and legal responsibility of the articles belongs to the author(s).
No copyright is paid to the works sent to JAO and no fee is charged from the author(s). The copyright of published works is transferred to the Journal of Academic Opinion. Author(s) must fill out and submit a "Copyright Form" for journal articles.
Studies submitted to JAO must not have been published anywhere before and must not have been submitted to another platform for publication. Papers presented at a scientific meeting can be sent to the journal for publication, provided that the presentation information (name, place, date, etc. of the congress) is clearly stated.
Studies sent to JAO will be sent electronically from the journal's website. After the study in question is submitted, developments regarding the referee process and referee evaluation reports will be communicated to the author(s) via e-mail by the editorial board.
Each study sent to JAO is first subjected to a preliminary review by the editor during the evaluation process, taking into account the scope and other requirements, including Turkish and English abstracts, spelling rules and compliance with the journal article template. As a result of the review, the study that is not suitable for evaluation is returned to the author(s). As a result of the preliminary review, the study is deemed appropriate and the double-blind peer-review process is initiated. In this process, the relevant study is sent to two independent referees who are experts in their field for peer review within the framework of ethical principles. The names of the author(s) and referees are kept confidential during the refereeing process. Referees are given 15 days to review and evaluate the study. According to the results of the referee evaluations, a decision is made to accept, revise or reject the publication of the study in the journal. If the study is rejected by both referees, the evaluation process is concluded with a rejection decision. However, if one of the referees rejects and the other decides to accept or revise, the rejected work is sent to a third referee for review. The final decision on the article is made after the third review. If the study is sent back for revision, the author(s) will revise and send the revised study within 15 days. The editor and/or referees re-evaluate the study, examine whether their suggestions have been implemented, and if revision is deemed necessary, the editor sends the study back to the author and re-evaluates. Finally, the editor decides whether to accept the work. The editor informs the author(s) about every step of this process. If information or raw data regarding their work is requested from the author(s) during the evaluation process, the expected information must be provided to the editor(s).
Studies sent to JAO must be prepared following ethical rules and references made in the text must be stated. The similarity rate of the study should be submitted to the editorial board in a report by the author(s). The upper limit of acceptable similarity rate is 20%. The report should be prepared excluding equations and a bibliography.
The editorial board has the right to check similarities during the evaluation process and request corrections accordingly. If it is determined that the similarity rate is much higher than the upper limit, the work in question is rejected by the editorial board.
The editorial board may use various "plagiarism checking" software or programs (such as Turnitin and iThenticate) to check the originality of the submitted works.
Suppose plagiarism is detected by both the referees and the editorial board at any stage of the submission (before or after acceptance, at any stage before publication). In that case, the editor may warn the author(s) and request the rewriting and/or appropriate citation of the submission. If the plagiarism rate is more than 20%, the study may be rejected or the institution to which the author(s) are affiliated may be notified of the plagiarism rate. If plagiarism is detected after publication, this situation is disclosed to the readership in the journal as an editor's note and the author(s') institutions are notified of this violation rate.
If the Editorial Board detects copyright infringement and plagiarism in the works during the evaluation process, it has the authority to withdraw the work within 15 days. The withdrawn article is announced in the journal and information about the withdrawn article is included in the first issue published after the retraction. In addition, the reason for the retraction is communicated to the institutions and organizations in which the journal is indexed.
Scientific Publication Ethics
Journal of Academic Opinion (JAO) has adopted various policies based on the guidelines and principles published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) as its publication ethics and open access policy in order to carry out all stages of the publication process in accordance with ethical principles. These policies cover the author(s), editors, referees and all related processes. When situations are encountered that are not clearly stated within the framework of scientific publication ethics determined by JAO, the mentioned guidelines and principles will be applied. All actors must comply with ethical principles during the broadcasting process.
JAO's publication process is based on the principle of impartial production, development and sharing of information using scientific methods. The publication ethics and open access policy, prepared by TR Dizin to create ethical assurance in scientific periodical publishing and adopted by JAO, requires all stakeholders of the publication process to comply with ethical principles in line with the guidelines and policies. The principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) "Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors" and "Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers" are applied.
Ethics Committee
Within the scope of TR Index 2020 Journal Evaluation Criteria, "Ethics Committee Approval" must be obtained for research conducted in all branches of science, and this approval must be stated and documented in the study.

It is required to be included on the page.
