Articles accepted by the editorial board into evaluation are subject to blind peer review. In case of dissidence between two referees when evaluating an article, that article is sent to a third referee. If an article is sent to more than two referees, majority opinion is taken as a base. Referees are selected from among the scientific board or academicians from universities. For an article to be published in the journal, it is necessary that referees should state positive opinion.

In articles to be submitted to the journal, the following points are required to be considered:

1. Submitted articles should not have been published elsewhere before and should not be sent to more than one journal at the same time.
