PAPER REVIEW PROCESS

All papers submitted to the 7th International Conference on Applied Statistics (UYIK-2026) will be evaluated in order to ensure academic quality and scientific standards. Submitted papers will first undergo an editorial screening process conducted by the conference editorial board. During this stage, submissions will be assessed based on:

• Accepted
• Accepted with Revision
• Rejected

If necessary, authors may be requested to revise their manuscripts according to the reviewer’s comments. Accepted papers will be included in the conference program as oral presentations and will be published in the Conference Proceedings Book.
