Author's Responsibilities

Article Writing
All authors listed as authors must have contributed significantly to the research. Other contributors should be listed as co-authors. Contributors should be referred to as ‘contributors’. In joint studies, the corresponding author should submit the study to the journal with the consent of the other authors. Those who do not contribute directly to the research should not be listed as authors.

Originality and Authenticity
All data in the research must be real and authentic. The author should provide an objective discussion of the significance of the study based on accurate data. Deliberately providing false information is unacceptable unethical behaviour.

Multiple, Unnecessary or Simultaneous Publication
The author should not attempt to publish the same research in more than one journal or to republish a previously published article, and should comply with the ethics of scientific research and publication. Such attempts are unacceptable unethical behaviour.

Citation of Sources
It is obligatory to show/cite all sources utilised in the studies.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
All authors should clearly declare any financial and conflicts of interest that may affect the results or interpretation of the study. If financial support was received for the study, the sources should be indicated.

Publication Fee
Authors are not charged any fee for all researches published in our journal.

Correction of Published Studies
It is the author's responsibility to inform the editor if significant deficiencies or inaccuracies are detected in the published work. The author should cooperate with the editorial team of our journal to take the necessary actions to correct the situation.

Article Withdrawal
The author can withdraw the work evaluated in the publication processes of our journal only at the pre-control stage. Manuscripts cannot be withdrawn at other stages of the publication process.

Authenticity and Plagiarism
Authors should aim to conduct and report original research. They should properly cite the works they have used. Unlawful citation from other publications, including the author's own work, is an important moral problem and a criminal offence. When plagiarism is detected in the studies submitted to our journal, it is immediately removed from the publication process. If it is detected after publication in our journal, the necessary information about the author and his/her work will be given to the necessary places.

Double Blind Reviewing
Since double blind refereeing is applied in our journal, author information should not be written in the article file. In addition, file information should be deleted in the Word Programme (File / Information - Check Problems - Inspect Document - Inspect Document - Document Inspector / Inspect. Remove All)
