Ethical Committee Approval and Informed Consent
The first page of articles to be published in FISCALIS must clearly state whether ethical committee approval and/or legal/special permission is required. If these permissions must be obtained, it should be clearly presented from which institution, on what date, and with which decision or permit number these permissions were obtained.
If the study is exempt from ethical approval, the authors must submit a declaration explaining the exemption to the ethics committee. A manuscript submitted without ethical approval will follow COPE guidelines for the journal to assess ethical concerns. Manuscripts without ethical approval may be rejected in cases of particular importance to the subject.
If the study does not require ethical committee approval, the “Declaration Form for No Need for Ethical Committee Approval” should be uploaded to the system by the corresponding author in the submission phase. This declaration should also be written at the end of the article under the heading “Ethical Committee Approval.”

REFEREE EVALUATION PROCESS
Fiscalis conducts a rigorous and transparent double-blind peer review process to uphold the highest standards in scientific quality, academic integrity, and ethical publishing. In this model, the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential during the evaluation process.
All submitted articles undergo an initial editorial review to assess their compliance with the journal's scope and core quality criteria. The selected studies are sent to at least two independent external referees whose expertise in the relevant field is recognized.
Although authors can suggest reviewers when submitting their articles, the final reviewer selection is made solely by the editorial team. The Editor-in-Chief or Assistant Editors ensure that the selected reviewers have sufficient expertise in the subject matter, are experienced, and are free from conflicts of interest.
· What is expected of the referees is this:
To provide a timely, impartial, and evidence-based assessment of the article's originality, method, clarity, and contribution to the field,
· Providing constructive feedback that will help authors improve the quality and scientific coherence of their work,
· Maintaining strict confidentiality during the evaluation process; not sharing or discussing the article content without editorial approval,
· Before accepting an evaluation task, report any potential conflicts of interest.
In case of suspected ethical violation or academic misconduct, it is important to report this confidentially to the editorial office.
· Adhering to the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Guidelines on Good Publication Practice, which embrace the principles of professionalism, fairness, and impartiality during the review process.
To ensure impartiality and justice, articles submitted by the editorial board members are reviewed by external editors or guest editors who have no conflict of interest. These editors also adhere to the same rigorous peer-review processes. All communication between editors and reviewers is strictly considered confidential and not shared with third parties. If a manuscript has undergone a non-standard or alternative review process, the details of this process will be clearly stated in the published article.
