ETHICS COMMITTEE APPROVAL
Our journal requires that the relevant ethics committee decision must be obtained for all studies in all disciplines that require ethics committee permission. In this context, information about the ethics committee approval (name of the committee, date and decision number) should be clearly stated in the text of the article. In case reports, the information that the informed consent form has been obtained should be included in the article.
In line with the regulations implemented by Ulakbim TR Index since 2020, studies that do not have ethics committee permission are not evaluated in our journal.

Studies Requiring Ethics Committee Approval
In our journal, researches that require ethics committee permission include the following studies:
• All research conducted with qualitative or quantitative approaches that involve collecting data from participants through methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations, experiments and interview techniques,
• Studies in which humans and animals (including materials or data) are used for experimental or other scientific purposes,
• Clinical trials conducted on humans,
• Scientific research on animals,
• Retrospective studies within the framework of the Personal Data Protection Law.
In order for such studies to be included in the evaluation, the relevant ethics committee permissions must be obtained and these permissions must be clearly stated in the text of the article.

Note: Scientific research on humans and animals must be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and ARRIVE guidelines and approval must be obtained from the relevant ethics committee. Studies without ethics committee approval are not evaluated in our journal.

• The APA 7 method is accepted for citation and referencing.
• In terms of writing footnotes and references, consistency within the method is essential. The names of long works (books, journals, newspapers, etc.) are written in italics, and the names of short works (articles, stories, poems, etc.) are written in quotation marks. It is also recommended to use footnotes only for additional information that cannot be included in the text:
• If a work has a compiler, translator, publisher, or editor, it must be indicated in the bibliography.
• In citing texts in electronic media as a source, those with the author, title, and date of publication are used. In addition, the date of access should be indicated in parentheses in the imprint information.
• Use of secondary sources should be avoided for accessible sources.
• Studies that are not cited should not be included in the References section.
• References should be written alphabetically at the end of the text according to the authors' surnames. The publishing houses of the works should be indicated clearly and the page ranges of the articles should be indicated.
