Editorial Policy
Mardin Artuklu University Publications (MAU Press) adopts specific basic publication policies to ensure the accurate, timely and ethical publication of scholarly journals. These policies are based on the recommendations of organisations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. The guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME) and the Council of Science Editors (CSE) are also taken into consideration.
MAU Press aims to contribute to disseminating scientific knowledge by publishing high-quality scientific journals following international publishing standards. All submitted manuscripts undergo a double-anonymized, impartial peer review process before publication.
Unethical behaviour, such as plagiarism and forgery, is unacceptable; such content will be removed from publication. If plagiarism is detected, it is evaluated using iThenticate software, and manuscripts with high similarity rates are rejected. The double-anonymized review process evaluates the originality and scientific value of the manuscripts, and those deemed appropriate are published.
Authorship criteria include responsibility for all aspects of the work and approval of the final manuscript. Contributions other than authorship are acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section.
