Publication Ethics

Editorial Independence

Bilge Academic Publishing is committed to safeguarding the editorial independence of all journals it publishes. Editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of scholarly merit, scientific quality, originality, methodological soundness, and relevance to the journal’s scope, without influence from commercial, financial, institutional, or political interests.

Independent Editorial Decision Making

Editors have full authority and responsibility for all editorial decisions, including manuscript acceptance, revision, and rejection. Decisions are based exclusively on the academic quality and integrity of the submitted work and are never influenced by an author’s nationality, ethnicity, gender, institutional affiliation, funding source, or personal relationships.

Separation of Editorial and Publishing Responsibilities

Bilge Academic Publishing respects the independence of its editorial teams and does not interfere with editorial decision making. Business, financial, marketing, or commercial considerations play no role in determining whether a manuscript is accepted or rejected for publication.

Conflicts of Interest

Editors are required to disclose and appropriately manage any actual or potential conflicts of interest. Editors must not participate in the editorial handling of manuscripts in which they have a personal, professional, institutional, or financial interest. In such cases, responsibility for the manuscript is delegated to another qualified editor to ensure a fair, impartial, and transparent review process.
