How to Submit?

Please review the policy texts of our journal before submitting an article to IEJEE. By reading the policy texts, you will be able to learn about the issues to be considered in the evaluation and publication process, the problems that may be encountered and the actions to solve, the information about open access publishing, and your rights as an author.

After reading the policy texts, please review your article in terms of content and language, and make the final proofreading. Then, subject your article text to similarity analysis through various similarity software (iThenticate, etc.). Please do not forget that you will share your similarity report with our editors at the submission stage. For this reason, we recommend that you keep your similarity report on your computer.

As stated in our Peer Review Policy page, IEJEE uses the double-blind review technique in the peer review process. Therefore, do not forget to anonymize your article text for peer review. You can share the requested information about your article (author, institution, e-mail, ORCID information, etc.) with our editors by preparing a title page. You can find an example by clicking this link to assist you in preparing the title page. Please make sure that you fully share all the information about your article and authors (name, surname, institution, e-mail, ORCID information) on the title page.

The articles to be sent to IEJEE must be prepared in accordance with the APA 7th format. Please follow the APA 7th rules while editing your article in terms of form and content. For detailed information about APA 7th, please visit this link.

There is no special word limit for articles to be submitted to IEJEE. However, authors who will submit articles exceeding 12,000 words must contact the editor-in-chief and obtain approval to initiate the review process.

IEJEE evaluates the submitted articles in terms of scientific content regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnicity or political views of the authors, and expects the same sensitivity from the authors submitting an article. For this reason, the authors should not use any expressions implying that an individual is superior to others on the basis of beliefs, race, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, culture, disability or health status, political views, but should use an inclusive language from the beginning to the end. In this regard, we recommend you review your article taking all these into account.
