A place that not only disseminates knowledge but also fosters inquiry, upholds academic integrity, and nurtures scientific thought. Over the years, our journal has played a vital role in shaping numerous academics, becoming a meeting point for those dedicated to learning, researching, and sharing. As a student of this school, I joined this remarkable journey in January 2005, taking on my first official role. Alongside countless esteemed academics, we learned, created, shared, and grew together. Now, I embrace the great responsibility of stepping into the role of editor within this invaluable institution—a true privilege. The greatest strength of scientific knowledge lies in the dedication and ethical rigor with which it is produced. At the Gazi Journal of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, we have always upheld academic integrity, critical thinking, and scientific ethics as our core values. Moving forward, we remain committed to enriching the field of sports sciences, staying at the forefront of developments, and making meaningful contributions with the same dedication and precision. In this process, the support of our valued readers, reviewers, and authors is more important than ever. I firmly believe that as we continue this journey of learning and growth together, we will keep spreading the light of science. I look forward to collaborating and advancing knowledge together in this new chapter.
