Evaluation of the Formal Conformity by the Editorial Unit: Each article transmitted through the dergipark system of our journal is firstly given a code and evaluated by the Editorial Unit within the framework of the Editorial Principles of our journal (article, abstract and the number of keywords, bibliography rules, etc.). At this stage, our Editorial Department only tries to ensure the formal conformity of the article to the Publication Principles, does not make any evaluation regarding the content.

Editorial Board Evaluation and Determination of Referees: Each article, whose formal suitability is evaluated by the Editorial Unit, is sent to the members of the Editorial Board by "anonymizing" by hiding the expressions that will reveal the identity of the author. The Editorial Board, consisting of the Editor, Assistant Editors and academicians from different universities and disciplines, meets two times a year as online or face to face meetings. At the meeting, the articles are handled according to the principle of "Blind Editorial Board". Three types of decisions are made about the articles discussed in the Editorial Board: "sending to referees", "rearrangement" or "rejection".

Peer Review: Articles are pre-reviewed by the editorial board and articles that meet the publication criteria are sent to two different referees. In case of disagreement between two referees, the opinion of a third referee is sought. In line with the reports from the referees, it is decided to print the article, to request correction from the author within the framework of the reports or to reject it. The Editorial Board decides whether the submitted articles will be published after the positive evaluation of at least two referees and in which issue the journal will be published. In accordance with the principle of "Blind Refereeing", communication between the referees and the author is carried out through our Dergipark system through the Editorial Unit. It is expected that all articles will complete the refereeing process and be published within 60 days at the latest.

At the last stage, the contribution of the articles to science and the field is evaluated by the editorial board in line with the "publishable" report of at least two referees, and it is decided whether they will be included in the publication order or not.

The following are the stages of the publication process :

1. The average time during which the preliminary assessment of manuscripts is conducted carried out by the editorial team : 10 days.

2. The average time during which the manuscripts double blind review is conducted : 40 days.

3.  After going through the review process, if required, the authors are given the opportunity to improve. After the corrections have been made by the authors, the editorial team will re-examine the improvements made by the author with the input provided by the reviewers. This is done until the authors make improvements in accordance with the input provided by the reviewers. 

4. The average time in which the article is published: 10 days (Online First Publication)

5. Each Article is Psychically published in September.

About OnlineFirst:
 
What is OnlineFirst?
 
The OnlineFirst is the section where the ready-to-print articles of the International Crimes and History journal are published online prior to the printing stage. When an article is published in an OnlineFirst format, it is published with a DOI (Digital Object Identifiers) number, while volume and issue information are not added.
 
When the article is printed in the issue determined by the editorial board, it is removed from the OnlineFirst page and loaded to the website, within the published issue. A study that has passed its peer review process favourably is published as a preview in approximately 30 days.
 
How To Make A Reference To An Article Published In OnlineFirst Format?
An example of an article that is published in OnlineFirst form, displayed in accordance with the Chicago 17 - Citation Guide:
Uraz, Onur. “Uluslararası Adalet Divanı’nın Gambiya-Myanmar Davasında Soykırım Suçunun Tespiti Bakımından Karşılaşacağı Dört Temel Hukuki Soruna Dair Bir Değerlendirme /An Evaluation of the Four Main Legal Problems that the International Court of  Justice Will Likely Face in Assessing the Crime of Genocide in Gambia – Myanmar Case.” Uluslararası Suçlar ve Tarih Dergisi / International Crimes and History Journal, Advance online  publication. DOI: 10.25204/ust.422608
 
What Are The Functions And Utility of OnlineFirst?
Articles that are published in OnlineFirst form, as they do not require waiting for the issue that will be published, unlike the traditional method, reach the readers and researchers quicker. That is to say, the articles that have completed the peer review process and typesetting through the OnlineFirst become accessible while the processes of the other articles continue. Thus, readers and researchers can access the latest work and research quicker, while the authors are able to present their findings quicker. This provides more opportunity for the journal and study to be referenced and downloaded.
 
Editing OnlineFirst Articles
Articles published in the OnlineFirst are the same as their printed version. The only differences are the given issue, volume and page numbers. Hence, there must be no changes made to the article that is published in OnlineFirst format. A change can be made only in the case of a clear mistake between the printed and OnlineFirst version, constituting a case of erratum (misprint)
