The content of the manuscripts submitted to the journal for publication should be compatible with the journal's purpose and scope. The journal prioritizes the publication of original research articles.

General Guidelines:
Papers that have not been previously published or are not currently under review for publication in another journal and are approved by each author are accepted for review. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary evaluation are subjected to the iThenticate plagiarism scanning program. Authors are informed if plagiarism/self-plagiarism is detected. After plagiarism review, eligible manuscripts are evaluated by the Editor for their originality, methodology, importance of the topic addressed in the article, and appropriateness to the scope of the journal. If necessary, the Editors/Editor may subject the article to plagiarism checks at various stages of the review or production process. High similarity rates may result in an article being rejected before or even after acceptance. Depending on the type of paper, this is expected to be less than 15% or 30%. Plagiarism, duplication, false authorship/confessed authorship, research/data fabrication, article slicing, slicing and dicing, copyright infringement and concealment of conflict of interest are considered unethical behavior. All articles that do not comply with accepted ethical standards are removed from publication. This includes articles containing possible irregularities and non-compliances detected after publication.
Abstracts presented at scientific meetings are accepted as references provided that they are mentioned in the article. If the submitted manuscript complies with the formal guidelines, the editor submits the manuscript to the evaluation of two referees from Turkey and/or abroad; the editor approves the publication of the article after the changes deemed necessary by the referees are made by the authors.
After the manuscript is submitted to the Journal for publication, none of the authors' names can be deleted from the list of authors without the written permission of all authors, and no new name can be added as an author and the order of authors cannot be changed.
Articles, pictures and photographs that are not accepted for publication will not be returned to the authors.
