Authors' duties

• Reporting Standards
  Authors should provide an accurate description of the work done and an objective discussion of its importance. Basic data should be correctly displayed in the article. An article should contain sufficient detail and references to allow understanding. Fraudulent or knowingly false statements create unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

• Ethics Committee Permission and Research Permission

Articles should include a statement about compliance with Research and Publication Ethics.

• Authenticity, Plagiarism, and Acceptance of Sources
  Authors should ensure that their work is original, and if authors have used the work and/or words of others, they should be cited appropriately. Publications that were influential in determining the nature of the reported work should also be noted. Plagiarism constitutes any unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. The similarity report should be taken from the similarity programs provided by universities such as iThencitace, Turnitin, intihal.net and uploaded to the system by the author at the time of article submission.

• Multi, Redundant, or Simultaneous Broadcasting
  An author should generally not publish articles that describe the same research as more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same article to more than one journal at the same time brings unethical publishing behavior. In general, an author should not submit manuscripts that have been previously published in another journal.
  Any other non-copyrighted material may not be published elsewhere. Also, manuscripts reviewed by the journal should not be resubmitted to copyrighted publications. However, by submitting a manuscript, the author(s) retain the rights to the published material.

All contributors must be listed as co-authors. The author ensures that all contributing authors and intruders are included in the author list. Where others are involved in certain aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. All co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the article and have agreed to submit it for publication.

• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
  All authors must include a statement explaining financial or other financial conflicts of interest that could be interpreted to affect the conclusions or interpretation of their paper. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest possible stage. Readers should be informed about who is funding the research and the role of the funders in the research.

• Implementing the Referee's Suggestions (Correction Sheet) or Not Implementing (Objection)

If the referee accepts his suggestions, he should prepare a correction sheet showing the changes he made on the article, and should explain the changes he made in the article in this table. If the referee does not accept his proposals for various reasons, he should present these objections with justification. In both cases, the decision center is the editor and the editorial board.

• Fundamental Errors in Published Works
  When an author detects a major inaccuracy or inaccuracy in his published work, he must immediately notify the editor or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct his paper. If the editor or publisher learns of a published work containing a material error from a third party, the author must immediately retract or correct the article or prove the objectivity of the objective document to the editor.
