AbstractIn an era where research data is readily accessible during the peer review process, several obstacles persist in verifying the data required for publication. While Supporting Information (SI) for all American Chemical Society (ACS) journals is freely available, there is no standardized review process, and errors frequently linger, despite peer review. The SI for submitted manuscripts routinely contains missing or incorrect data, as well as inconsistencies between the submitted manuscript and the SI. While rare, issues of data manipulation, including digitally altered spectra, and plagiarism have been identified. [

Dear producers and consumers of knowledge,   I would like to share the happiness of being with you again with 6th Volume 2nd Issue of Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction (PEGEGOG). I hope you could find time to have a rest after your busy schedule. Initially, I want to thank you for the increasing interest for our journal. As mentioned before, we had applied to many indexes. Our belief in being accepted to these indexes that we are through evaluation process is increasing day by day. I would like to remind that our journal will have English and Turkish full papers from now on to fulfil the conditions of these indexes.   I will carry out my duty as the chief editor of Journal of PEGEGOG as from 2nd Issue in 2016 of our journal. Moreover, we have invited new editors to provide our journal to reach the larger masses. I would like to introduce the new editors accepted our invitation. Prof. Dr. Ann Marie HILL (Queen's University), Prof. Dr. Cecilia MERCADO (Saint Louis University), Prof. Dr. Piet KOMMERS (University of Twente), Prof. Dr. Rosa BOTTINO (National Research Council), Prof. Dr. Todd Alan PRICE (National Louis University) and Prof. Dr. Vladimir A. FOMICHOV (National Research University). I believe we will reach you in a more quick way with our dear editors.   We shared with you in previous issues and announcements that our journal got high scores by many indexes. I'm pleased to inform you in this issue that the journal's h-index rose to 7. However, our aim is always to have much higher scores. Therefore, we invite you to share studies comprehensive, built on strong theoretical basis, innovative and bringing a vision on various fields of educational sciences increasing the number of readers.   There has been nearly 30 articles sent for publication to our journal. This is good news for our journal and country. On the other hand, I have to indicate that there were critical problems in terms of format within these articles as stated in the previous issue. First of all, unfortunately we had to reject some articles as in many of them there were texts very similar to ones in different articles. At first step, we scan all articles in i-thenticate program to determine the exact quotations from other resources. After this scan, we reject the articles detected to have exact quotations at a high rate without initiating peer-review process. Apart from that, we also send back the articles not written in an academic format not to disturb our reviewers unnecessarily.   One of the problems with the articles submitted to our journal and we had to reject was about data analysis. The data is the raw information collected from related resources through research aims. These should be analyzed in parallel with these aims. It is necessary to analyze them using statistics for quantitative data and methods such as content analysis or descriptive analysis for qualitative data. Analysis provides the data being transformed into findings and make sense. Especially, in some of document analysis and some qualitative studies, it is seen that data are presented as findings. In some others, data are presented being only described. It is essential that the studies are formed in an article format obeying the rules by the journal and presented for publication afterwards.   As always, we present the six articles got through peer-review process and given DOI number to you dear producers and consumers of knowledge. I wish these studies conducted in various fields of educational sciences will be useful and contribute to theoretical knowledge within the field. Hope to meet within the next issue.   Sincerely yours,

Insight Into

Abstract In this paper, we provide insight into the editorial process as seen from the perspective of journal editors. We study a dataset obtained from the Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, which contains information about submitted and rejected manuscripts, in order to find differences between local (Serbian) and external (non-Serbian) submissions. We show that external submissions (mainly from India, Iran and China) constitute the majority of all submissions, while local submissions are in the minority. Most of submissions are rejected for technical reasons (e.g. wrong manuscript formatting or problems with images) and many users resubmit the same paper without making necessary corrections. Manuscripts with just one author are less likely to pass the technical check, which can be attributed to missing metadata. Articles from local authors are better prepared and require fewer resubmissions on average before they are accepted for peer review. The peer review process for local submissions takes less time than for external papers and local submissions are more likely to be accepted for publication. Also, while there are more men than women among external users, this trend is reversed for local users. In the combined group of local and external users, articles submitted by women are more likely to be published than articles submitted by men.

Dear producers and consumers of knowledge, I would like to share the happiness of being with you again with forth issue of Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction (PEGEGOG) in 2019. Initially, I want to thank you for the increasing interest for our journal. In this issue, I am pleased to inform you that our journal has started to be indexed in ERIC database as well. With this good news, there has been a significant increase in the number of submissions to our journal. Although this interest in our journal has pleased us, I would like to inform that we will be more selective in order to improve our publication quality. Therefore, I recommend you, dear science producers, to carefully examine the author's guide before submitting your article. One hundred and eighty-three manuscripts were submitted to PEGEGOG in last one year. Of these, about 25.00% were accepted for publication. This is good news for our journal. On the other hand, I have to indicate that there were critical problems in terms of format within these articles as stated in the previous issue.
