Writing and Publication Principles

Publishing Principles and Writing Rules

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

International Journal of Business, Economics and Management Perspectives is an international and peer-reviewed journal published online twice a year. The publication language of the journal is Turkish and English. The journal aims to publish theoretical and/or applied articles that make original contributions to the field. Articles submitted to the journal must not have been published anywhere before and must not have entered the evaluation process to be published anywhere. Submitted articles are first examined by the editorial board in terms of their original contribution to the field, scientific expression and writing rules. Studies are sent to two referees if they meet the preliminary evaluation criteria. The identities of the referees and the author are kept confidential during this process. The editorial board decides whether the article will be published or not, in line with the referee reports. The scientific responsibility of the articles in the journal belongs to the author. Published works can be quoted by citing the source. After its publication in the journal, all copyrights of the article belong to the International Journal of Business, Economics and Management Perspectives. Authors of published works are not paid royalties. Articles published in the Journal of International Business, Economics and Management Perspectives cannot be published or reproduced elsewhere without approval.

In order for an author to submit an article to the journal again, at least one issue must be published after the issue in which the article was published.

SENDING ARTICLES

For an author to submit an article to the journal again, at least one issue must be published after the issue in which the article was published.

SENDING ARTICLES

To complete the article submission, the following documents must be uploaded to the system:

ARTICLE TEXT (Required): Authors' texts that comply with the "article template" will be considered. The articles written in "MS Word" program must be uploaded to the system by logging in to http://www.ijbemp.com. By the double-masked referee system, you must upload your article anonymously (deleted from both the cover page and the last author page*). * To delete the author name from the last saved page, open your file in MS Word. Click "File>Options" from the menu above. Change the "Username:" section in the general tab of the options to a name that does not remind you of the author (for example, "author"). You must make these checks every time you upload your article.

COPYRIGHT AGREEMENT (Mandatory): Authors must complete and upload the "Copyright Transfer Agreement Form."

ETHICS COMMITTEE PERMISSION (Mandatory): Ethics Committee Approval must be uploaded for studies requiring ethics committee permission (Relevant Link YÖK). Articles submitted for publication in the journal must be prepared according to the research and publication ethics rules. Separate ethics committee approval must be obtained for the research conducted and for clinical and experimental studies on humans and animals that require an ethics committee decision, and this approval must be stated and documented in the article. In studies requiring ethics committee permission, information about the consent (committee name, date, and issue number) should be included in the method section and on the article's first/last page. In case reports, information about signing the informed consent/consent form must be included in the article. Therefore, papers requiring ethics committee permission but not sending this document will not be evaluated and will be rejected.

FOR STUDIES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE ETHICS COMMITTEE PERMISSION, THE "ETHICS APPROVAL FORM" MUST BE FILLED AND UPLOADED TO THE SYSTEM.

AUTHOR INFORMATION FORM (Mandatory): Information about the author(s) must be uploaded via the "Author Application Form".

ARTICLE SIMILARITY RATE: The similarity rate of the articles submitted to the journal (excluding References and " " citations) must be at most 30%. The similarity ratio will be determined separately by the journal before publication.

 

WRITING RULES AND STYLING FEATURES

Articles must be written in accordance with APA 7 publication format. Accordingly, template content to be published on the journal website should be used. Documents created outside the journal template will not be accepted. The spelling and citation rules of the article are given as an example in the article template.

Articles that do not comply with the rules and principles in question will be rejected without entering the "peer evaluation process".
Note 1: Our journal recommends the Zotero citation program for citation and bibliography of articles.

 

Reference examples: (Author Guidelines)

1. Journal article

Grady, J. S., Her, M., Moreno, G., Perez, C., & Yelinek, J. (2019). Emotions in storybooks: A comparison of storybooks that represent ethnic and racial groups in the United States. Psychology of Popular Media Culture, 8(3), 207–217. https://doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000185

 

  • Parenthetical citation: (Grady et al., 2019)

  • If a journal article has a DOI, include the DOI in the reference.
  • Always include the issue number for a journal article.

  • Do not include database information in the reference unless the journal article comes from a database that publishes works of limited circulation or original, proprietary content, such as UpToDate.
  • If the journal article does not have a DOI but does have a URL that will resolve for readers (e.g., it is from an online journal that is not part of a database), include the URL of the article at the end of the reference.

2. Journal article with an article number

  • Narrative citations: Butler (2017), Sanchiz et al. (2017), and Stegmeir (2016)
  • If the journal does not use volume, issue, and/or article or page numbers, omit the missing element(s) from the reference.
  • If the volume, issue, and/or article or page numbers have simply not yet been assigned, use the format for an advance online publication (see Example 7 in the Publication Manual) or an in-press article (see Example 8 in the Publication Manual).

4. Retracted journal article

Joly, J. F., Stapel, D. A., & Lindenberg, S. M. (2008).

  • Parenthetical citation: (Joly et al., 2008)
  • Narrative citation: Joly et al. (2008)
  • Use this format to cite the retracted article itself, for example, to discuss the contents of the retracted article.
  • First provide publication details of the original article. Then provide information about the retraction in parentheses, including its year, journal, volume, issue, and page number(s).

5. Retraction notice for a journal article

de la Fuente, R., Bernad, A., Garcia-Castro, J., Martin, M. C., & Cigudosa, J. C. (2010). Retraction: Spontaneous human adult stem cell transformation. Cancer Research, 70(16), 6682. https://doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-10-2451

  • Narrative citations: de la Fuente et al. (2010) and The Editors of the Lancet (2010)
  • Use this format to cite a retraction notice rather than a retracted article, for example, to provide information on why an article was retracted.
  • The author of the retraction notice may be an editor, editorial board, or some or all authors of the article. Examine the retraction notice to determine who to credit as the author.
  • Reproduce the title of the retraction notice as shown on the work. Note that the title may include the words “retraction,” “retraction notice,” or “retraction note” as well as the title of the original article.

6. Abstract of a journal article from an abstract indexing database

  • Parenthetical citation: (Hare & O’Neill, 2000)
  • Narrative citation: Hare and O’Neill (2000)
  • Although it is preferable to cite the whole article, the abstract can be cited if that is your only available source.
  • The foundation of the reference is the same as for a journal article.
  • If the abstract has a database accession number, place it in parentheses after the title.
  • Note that you retrieved only the abstract by putting the words “Abstract from” and then the name of the abstract indexing database in square brackets. Place this bracketed description after the title and any accession number.
  • Accession numbers are sometimes referred to as unique identifiers or as publication numbers (e.g., as PubMed IDs); use the term provided by the database in your reference.

7. Monograph as part of a journal issue

Ganster, D. C., Schaubroeck, J., Sime, W. E., & Mayes, B. T. (1991). The nomological validity of the Type A personality among employed adults [Monograph]. Journal of Applied Psychology, 76(1), 143–168. http://doi.org/10.1037/0021-9010.76.1.143
