It should be taken to submit the manuscripts in the following manner.

- After the manuscript has been submitted through the Article Tracking System from the personal page entered with the e-mail address and password, the referee process can be followed from the same system. After this stage, reports from all referees should be expected to be received in order to make corrections. Because authors can add corrections to the system only once. When a referee makes the correction requested by one referee and the manuscript is added to the system, if a second referee requests a correction at the next stage, the requested corrections will not be made.

- Title: It should be a title that is compatible with the content, best expresses it, and should be written in 12 pt. in bold letters.

- Author name(s) and address: Information such as the author's name, title, institution, and e-mail address where the author can be reached should not be included under the title of the article. Since author names can be seen by the system administrator, this information will be added to the manuscript by the editor. When the manuscripts are added to the system, it should be ensured that no information belonging to the author is included in the manuscript. This is important in order to allow the referees who will review the article to move more easily.

- Abstract: At the beginning of the article, there should be an abstract of at least 100 and at most 200 words in Turkish and English, which briefly and concisely expresses the subject. One line space should be left under the abstract and keywords consisting of at least 3 and at most 5 words should be given. The abstract text should be written in 9 pt, single-spaced. Abstract texts should be written 1cm from the right and left.

- For articles submitted in Turkish, a 750-1000 word abstract in English and for articles submitted in English, a 750-1000 word abstract in Turkish should be attached. This abstract should include subheadings (Introduction, Method, Findings (Results), Conclusion and Discussion, etc.). The abstract should be written after the bibliography section, starting from a new page. Manuscripts that do not include an extended abstract will not be evaluated. The abstract should be typed in 10 point font size, single-spaced, using Calibri font. The abstract will also be evaluated according to whether or not the word count limitations are complied with.

- Main Text: It should be written in MS Word programme, using Calibri font, 10 pt, 1.5 line spacing. The article can be up to 35 pages. Pages should not be numbered.

- Paragraphs should not be started in the text of the article, and paragraph breaks should be marked by leaving 1 line (12 pt) space (Paragraph-Indent and Spacing in Office, Spacing-Before-0; After-12 pt).

- All information in the footnote should be written in 9 pt, single-spaced.

- Section Headings: In the article, main, intermediate and subheadings can be used to provide an organised transfer of information; headings should be numbered.

- Tables and Figures: Tables should be numbered and titled. Tables should be placed where they should be in the text. Figures should be prepared for colour printing. Figure numbers and names should be written centrally just below the figure.

- Illustrations: High resolution, print quality scanned images should be given in their places in the text. The rules for naming pictures should follow the rules for figures and charts.

- Quotations and References: The following citation and referencing standards (APA) must be followed in the articles to be submitted to our journal. Studies that do not comply with these rules will be returned to the author for correction. Quotations exceeding a few sentences in the text should be written 1 cm. from the right and left.

- At the end of the text, under the heading REFERENCES, the references cited should be listed by surname. For the bibliography, the hanging paragraph format should be applied (Paragraph-Indent and Spacing-Indent-Special-Hanging Paragraph in the MSOffice).

ETHICAL PRINCIPLES

In scientific articles sent to the journal, ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) recommendations and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) International Standards for Editors and Authors should be taken into consideration.

RESEARCH PUBLISHING ETHICS

1-Studies requiring the permission of the Ethics Committee (studies requiring questionnaire or scale application, including interviews and observations; documents, pictures, questionnaires, etc. developed by others and requiring permission to use) (For research conducted in all disciplines including social sciences and ethics For clinical and experimental studies on humans and animals that require a committee decision, ethics committee approval must be obtained separately, this approval must be specified and documented in the article). must be submitted. In the absence of these permissions, the publication is returned to the author during the pre-review phase.

2-In studies requiring ethics committee approval, information about the permission (name of the board, date, and number) should be included in the method section and also on the first/last page of the article. In case of reports, the information that the informed consent/consent form was signed should be included in the article.

3-It is necessary to comply with copyright regulations for the intellectual and artistic works used.


4-It is obligatory to submit the raw data of the researches that are in the referee evaluations when requested by the referees. It is obligatory to provide the data when necessary after the publication of the article.


JOURNAL POLICY ABOUT ARTICLE SIMILARITY REPORT AND SIMILARITY RATIO


Candidate articles should be sent with the originality report taken from the academic similarity prevention program (For example: Ithenticate, plagiarism.net etc.). This rate is accepted up to 20%. Studies with a similarity rate of over 20% will be returned at the pre-check stage.

Ethical Rules for Authors

1- The authors guarantee that their work is original, and when they include other researchers' ideas, language, pictures, graphics, and tables in their work, they must cite it. Quotations without specifying the source are the reason for plagiarism.
2- Each author mentioned in the study is equally responsible for the content of the study. It is unacceptable that the name of the researcher is not included or the name of the researcher is unfairly included even though he/she contributed to the study.
3- Authors must stay true to the findings of their research. Changing findings, making up findings and conclusions, and conducting research based on them is out of the question. Situations such as tampering, deletion, removal of data and materials, or skipping the interpretation of data that are difficult to handle, are trust-breaking.

4- It is not possible to send the work simultaneously to journals. Authors cannot send previously published work to the journal.


Ethical Rules for Referees

1- Referees should know that the evaluation process is confidential and should not be shared with third parties.

2- Referees should submit an objective, impartial, scientific, understandable, and constructive evaluation report about the study within the specified time.

3- The referee reports will also include an assessment of the scientific nature of the article (subject matter, a method used, or appropriate use of the relevant literature). This evaluation must be made about the content, whether positive or negative.

4- When it is understood that the work is plagiarized or has been published elsewhere before, the referees should report the situation to the editor.
