- Journal of Human and Work is a refereed and periodical journal published twice a year, in April and October.
- Manuscripts sent to Journal of Human and Work go through a four-stage evaluation process:
        Preliminary Evaluation: During this process, the documents uploaded by the author(s) are formally evaluated by the journal secretariat. If the documents deemed necessary for the process to begin are missing, the manuscript is returned to the author.
        Editor's Evaluation: The manuscript's compliance with the journal's rules and ethical principles is determined. The editorial board reserves the right to reject manuscripts that are not original, do not comply with the journal's purpose and scope, do not contribute to the literature, or are not prepared in accordance with the article writing rules. As a result of this review, the field editor's opinion is obtained. With the detailed review of the field editor, it is determined whether the submitted article is sufficient to be referred to the referee and the decision to proceed to the evaluation stage is made.
        Double-Blind Referee Evaluation: If it is decided that the manuscript will be evaluated by the referee, at least two scientists who are suitable for the subject of the article are determined as referees and the article is sent to the referees through the system. The referees send the results of the scientific review to the editor via the system, together with the "Referee Evaluation Report" and, if necessary, the relevant files. During this process, the identities of the authors and referees are mutually kept confidential. No text or symbol that could reveal the author's identity is included in the article. The referees send the evaluation reports to the journal editorship and the editor forwards the reports to the authors. It is checked that the reports are created in a way that will not reveal the identities of the referees. In order for the articles to be published, a "positive" opinion must be given by at least two referees. If one of the referees gives a "positive" opinion and the other gives a "negative" opinion, the article is sent to a third referee.
        Final Evaluation: After at least two positive opinions are given and the manuscript passes through the language editor when deemed necessary, it enters the final evaluation stage. At this stage, the manuscripts are reviewed once more by the Editorial Board and a request for correction can be submitted if necessary. If all edits are approved by the Editorial Board, the article is considered "publishable". The Editorial Board decides in which issue the article will be published. - No referee process guarantee is provided for articles sent to Journal of Human and Work.
