Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering (UUJFE) folllows guides and politics published by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for ethical rules and responsibilities of authors, journal editors/subject editors, reviewers and publisher.


It is improper for an author to submit manuscripts describing essentially the same research to more than one journal of primary publication, unless it is a resubmission of a manuscript rejected for or withdrawn from publication. Authors should not engage in plagiarism - verbatim or near-verbatim copying, or very close paraphrasing, of text or results from another’s work. Authors should not engage in self-plagiarism - unacceptably close replication of the author’s own previously published text or results without acknowledgement of the source. The co-authors of a paper should be all those persons who have made significant scientific contributions to the work reported and who share responsibility and accountability for the results.

All articles accepted after double-blind peer review process and published by UUJFE without any fee or charge are freely available, openly accessible. We follow the guidelines presented by Budapest Open - Access Initiative (BOAI) regarding the Open-Access. The average time between the submission date and the final decision date for the papers submitted to Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering in 2022 was 18 weeks.
