The peer-review process comprises nine essential steps.

1. Authors upload their articles through the DergiPark system.

2. The Editorial Board carries out an initial evaluation by examining the article's conformity with the journal template and relevance to the journal's aim and scope. The fifth step consists of inviting referees to evaluate the article.

3. Authors' names in the article are concealed.

4.  'Originality Reports' are produced and published on the system.

5. The Editorial Board and Field Editors appoint a minimum of two referees linked to the subject matter of the article.

6. A double-blind refereeing process requires approval from at least two referees to progress to the following stage.

7. Once any necessary corrections have been made according to referee reports, authors upload them through the DergiPark portal. Making the necessary corrections: authors re-upload the corrections indicated by the referees in the reports through the DergiPark system. In the process of revising the manuscript, the corrections (changes, additions or deletions) should be marked in RED, and the deleted parts should be indicated with a strikethrough font and red colour (Example). These revisions must be made manually without using the “Track Changes” feature of Microsoft Word. In this process, the ‘response to referee’ file is created by the author and uploaded to the system. The 'response to referee' file is generated and uploaded to the system by the author.

8. Upon fulfilment of all requirements, the Board forwards the manuscript to the Editorial Board for final review.

9. The article, published in Modular Journal, explains the process

What is double blind refereeing?

The identities of authors and referees are kept anonymous during manuscript evaluation to ensure impartiality.
