Publication and Submission Fees

Plagiarism Detection
The plagiarism detection is done by Turnitin or iThenticate software. The matches found in each study after plagiarism detection are analyzed in detail and those matches with correct reference and cross-reference are sorted. In the next step, the mistakes in the remaining matches are determined and reported to the editorial board. The board, then, makes a final decision in the light of the plagiarism detection report. The author(s) may be asked to correct the mistakes listed in the report or the study may be returned to the author(s).
References and Citation Control
Scientific research builds upon previous studies. In new studies, references and attributions to the previous studies are provided within the framework of certain rules. Intentional or unintentional mistakes in scientific studies harm the reliability of the study and publication.
The Journal Legal Research Development, in accordance with its publication ethics, considers it to be an obligation for the accepted studies to have correct and complete references and attributions. Therefore, each study, after acceptance, is checked in terms of bibliography, referencing, and attribution by a company chosen by the editorial board. Incurring costs lie with the author(s).
Layout and Galley
The journal requires that the articles be printed in a common type of and complete page layout for formal integrity, readability, and standards. Therefore, the studies whose plagiarism detection and bibliography preparation are finished, are sent to a company chosen by the editorial board for layout and galley. Incurring costs for page layout and preparation of the copy for print lie with the author(s).
