Ethics Committee Approval (Only valid for research conducted in Turkey)
In line with the decisions taken by TR Dizin, "Ethics Committee Approval" must be obtained for research in all disciplines, including Social Sciences, as of 2020. In studies requiring ethics committee approval, information about the permission (name of the committee, date and number) should be included in the method section of the study and also at the end of the article.
