Authors must perform a plagiarism check on their articles using their personal intihal.net software before submitting them to the journal. In this screening, conducted by excluding the References section, the similarity rate must be below 25%, and the intihal.net report must be uploaded to the system during article registration.
1. Mandatory Core File Submission
During article submission, authors are required to upload the following two separate templates to the system for the evaluation process to begin. The article evaluation process will not be initiated if files are missing.
Full-Text Template (With Author Information): The file containing the entire content of the article, but with the names, institutions, and contact information of the authors clearly stated.
Reviewer Template (Excluding Author Information): The version of the article, starting from the title page, with all author identities (name, surname, institution, email, ORCID, etc.) completely removed, to be used during the peer review process. This file is critical for ensuring the confidentiality of identities.
2. Language and Abstract Requirements
Abstract requirements vary depending on the language in which the article is written:
A. For Articles in Turkish
The article must begin with the Turkish Title, Turkish Öz (Abstract), and Turkish Anahtar Kelimeler (Keywords).
In addition to these, the English Title, English Abstract, and English Keywords must also be compulsorily included immediately thereafter.
B. For Articles in English
The article must begin with the English Title, English Abstract, and English Keywords.
Turkish Title, Öz (Abstract), and Anahtar Kelimeler (Keywords) are not mandatory.
3. Mandatory Ethics Committee Approval and Statement
If the scientific study (research involving human and/or animal subjects, surveys, clinical trials, etc.) requires Ethics Committee Approval, a statement confirming this approval is mandatory.
This statement must be clearly indicated in the last paragraph of the Introduction section or in the Material and Methods section (for example: "Ethics Committee Approval for this study was obtained from [Institution Name] dated [Date] with the number [Number]").
The article process will not be initiated if this statement is missing for studies requiring ethics committee approval.
4. Acknowledgement and Support Statement
Authors must state the source, support, or presentation status used while creating the article in the main text of the article, under a separate heading immediately preceding the References section (for example: "Acknowledgements and Notes" or "Article Note").
The following situations must be specified in this context:
Production from a Thesis: If the article is produced from a master's or doctoral thesis (for example: "This article has been produced from the [Master's/Doctoral] thesis completed by [Author Name] at [University Name] in [Year].").
Project Support: If the article has received support from projects such as BAP, TÜBİTAK, international funds, etc. (for example: "This study was supported by [Project Executing Institution] with the project number [Project Number].").
Previous Presentation: If the abstract of the article was previously published or presented at a symposium, congress, workshop, or scientific meeting (for example: "The abstract of this article was presented at the [Name of Congress] on [Date].").
