E-JCC includes scientific and original studies (such as research articles, translations, research papers, declarations, introductory papers for books, book reviews) written in Turkish and/or English that discuss topics or examine problems related to communication and social sciences. It is prioritized that the studies should be written with scientific reality, have the quality to contribute, refer to important sources, have an advanced language, should not be written with prejudice, and can not contain slogan type of sentences. Also, studies should have the qualifications such as review, research, and developed form of declaration.

The evaluation process is not initated for the manuscripts that do not comply with the writing principles of the journal, and do not have a footnotes, preface, summary or references.

The authors should follow the guidelines of APA (6th Edition) for the bibliography and all citations.

For the evaluation process, it is taken into account that the authors and referees are not from the same institution. The names of the authors and referees are confidential to each other. The editorial board changes for each issue and is formed in accordance with the subject of the articles. For the assessment of the submitted manuscripts, the referees are determined based on their expertise.

At least two referees are assigned to each manuscript to apply a double-blind review for the first phase of the assessment. In case one of the referee’s states “reject” and the other “accept”, “minor revision” or “major revision”, the article is forwarded to the third reviewer. If the third reviewer reports “publishable” or “can be published after revision”, the suggested revisions of the referee and editor are sent to the author(s). However, if the third referee makes a rejection decision, the article can not be published and the author is informed.

The reviewers pay regard to the following factors for the evaluations of the manuscripts:

Do the Turkish and English titles of the work reflect the article?

Do the abstracts of the article in both languages describe the article briefly?

Are the keywords sufficient and descriptive of the article?

Does the article contribute to communication science and social sciences?
