Dear Scientists,<\/p>

Ankara Hac\u0131 Bayram Veli University will host The 6th<\/sup> International Congress on Sustainable Development and Space, which will be held this year within the framework of Saybilder Congress Days. The congress will be held on 08-11 October 2024 at the 100th Anniversary Cultural Center of Ankara Hac\u0131 Bayram Veli University and will be held with the academic support of national and foreign institutions such as Mardin Artuklu University (Turkey), ISTEUB (University of Carthage – Tunisia).<\/p>

The announcement of The 6th<\/sup> International Congress on Sustainable Development and Space has been sent by e-mail to academics in 15 different countries, in addition to the information on the public website.<\/p>

In order to give an international dimension to the scientific discussion and interaction environment related to sustainable development and space, expert speakers from 6 different countries have been invited to this Congress. Therefore, we would like to invite all academics and researchers interested in sustainable development or space to share their knowledge, ideas and experiences in the congress area.<\/p>

It is possible to participate in the congress with an oral presentation, but it is also possible to participate only as a listener. The abstracts of oral participants will be included in the programme with the approval of two referees and the Organising Committee. These abstracts will then be published in a book with ISBN according to the congress calendar.<\/p>

Presentations at the congress will be both face-to-face and online. It is very important for the scientists who send their abstracts to indicate the type of presentation in order to prepare the programme functionally.<\/p>

The similarity rate in abstracts submitted for presentation at the congress and in full papers prepared for publication must not exceed 20%. All texts will be checked using plagiarism detection software (Turnitin or iThenticate). Manuscripts with a similarity rate exceeding 20% will be directly returned to the author, and the review process will not be initiated.<\/p>

It is very valuable for scientists who cannot attend the congress as an oral presentation or as a listener to take part in the evaluation board and to act as a referee to evaluate the abstracts sent to be presented. For this reason, scientists who cannot be reached by the organising committee are expected to apply for refereeing by sending their CVs to the communication channels of the congress.<\/p>

The 6th<\/sup> International Congress on Sustainable Development and Space will be published in a book with ISBN. However, researchers are not obliged to send their full texts.<\/p>

The congress is prepared by taking into consideration the academic appointment and promotion criteria of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Gulf Countries, Iraq and Turkey. In order for the congress to be successful, we invite you to contribute as a referee, researcher or listener; to share our announcements with those around you in order to raise awareness on sustainable development and space issues and to provide information on these issues.<\/p>

Best regards,<\/p>

Organising Committee<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Participation in the congress is only possible through oral presentations.<\/span><\/p>

    6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>All abstracts and full papers submitted to the congress will be accepted upon the approval of the referees and the evaluation committee. Papers that do not receive approval from at least two referees will be rejected.<\/span><\/p>

    7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The acceptance and rejection process of the texts submitted for oral presentation goes through the following stages: Submission and Initial Check, Referee Assignment and Evaluation Process, Decision by the Editorial Board, Final Evaluation, and Preparation of the Invitation Letter. <\/span><\/p>

    o\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Submission and Initial Check: Authors submit their presentations to the congress\u2019s online system or via email. The secretary (assistant editor) checks the presentation for relevance to the congress\u2019s scope, adherence to basic writing rules, and similarity percentage. If the paper is deemed unsuitable at this stage, it may be rejected or revisions may be requested. The secretary (assistant editor) does not conduct a content review, only a formal evaluation.<\/span><\/p>

    o\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Referee Assignment and Evaluation Process: The paper is sent to two referees who are experts in the field. The referees evaluate the scientific content, methodology, reliability of the results, and contribution to the literature. They prepare a report based on their review. During this process, the authors and referees remain anonymous to each other.<\/span><\/p>

    o\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Decision by the Editorial Board President: The editor of the congress is the President of the Editorial Board. Based on the referee reports, the editor makes a decision on the acceptance, revision request (minor or major), or rejection of the paper.<\/span><\/p>

    o\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Revision and Resubmission: If a revision is requested, authors revise their paper by responding to the referees\u2019 comments. If major corrections have been made, the revised paper is sent back to the referees for further evaluation. Minor corrections do not require another referee process; the editor\u2019s control is sufficient for acceptance.<\/span><\/p>

    o\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Final Evaluation and Preparation of the Invitation Letter: After the revision process, the President of the Editorial Board (editor) evaluates the corrections made. Once the paper meets all the criteria, an acceptance and invitation letter is issued to the authors.<\/span><\/p>

    8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Preparation of the Program and Publication Process: The accepted paper is shared with the Editorial Board Members responsible for preparing the congress program and publishing the abstract books. The Editorial Board Member responsible for the program schedules an appropriate time slot and hall for the presentation. The Editorial Board Member responsible for publication handles the typesetting of the text and places it in the appropriate section.<\/span><\/p>

    9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Researchers may submit their full papers until the final deadline specified in the congress schedule.

From the submission of abstracts to the publication of full papers, participants’ objections or requests are given the utmost attention. Participants should clearly express their objections via email to the congress secretariat. The secretariat then shares the received emails with the head of the organizing committee. If an error has been made by the congress, it is immediately corrected by the head of the organizing committee. Scientific errors, on the other hand, are reviewed by experts, and the organizing committee makes decisions based on their recommendations. No scientific process can be bypassed, and no participant can be treated unfairly. <\/span><\/p>

    11.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The congress is conducted in accordance with international scientific ethics and publication principles. To ensure compliance with these principles, at least one professor officially appointed by partner universities supervises the process. All participants and organizers of the congress are obliged to adhere to international scientific ethics and publication principles. Authors are individually responsible for any unethical conduct identified during or after the congress.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
