Getting results
- Studies that receive a positive (publishable report) as a result of the referee evaluation are sent to the design company and the designs are expected to be completed. The completed works are published in the relevant issue.
- The referee may request corrections to be made in the work he/she evaluates. Additionally, you can select the option "I want to see the edited version of the work again" or "I do not want to see the edited version again". Whichever option is selected by the referee, the author must rearrange his/her work according to the referee's correction suggestions and upload the corrected manuscript to the journal system. After the corrected text of the relevant article is uploaded to the journal system by the author, it is automatically sent to the referee by the system.
- The referee process must be followed meticulously by the author. It would be reasonable to wait for both referees to evaluate the reviewer before making correction suggestions. Authors should take care to complete the correction files within 7 to 10 days in order to reach the issue of their publications.
- Authors may object to the referee report within a reasonable framework and with convincing data. Objections are reviewed by the journal management and, if deemed appropriate, the opinions of a different referee (or referees) may be consulted on the subject.
- Journal editors meticulously follow the corrections made by the referees. Accordingly, editors may decide whether to publish or not publish an article.
