It is essential for a submitted article to be non‐previously published or under consideration in any other printed or electronic media. If a submitted manuscript has previously been presented
at any meeting, the name, date and city in which the meeting was held should be stated in the title page. Besides, it should be mentioned whether a submitted manuscript is a preliminary study or part of a thesis.
The scientific, ethical and legal responsibility for data, opinions and statements of published articles belong to the author(s). The Editors, Editorial Board, Publisher and Dokuz Eylul
University Medical Faculty disclaim any responsibility on these issues. All manuscripts will pass through a pre‐evaluation process by the Editorial Board as to whether a submitted manuscript is prepared in accordance with the journal’s scope and manuscript preparation rules. The editors may decide to reject or request revision of the format before assigning the manuscript to reviewers.
J DEU Med is a double blind journal and the manuscripts are assigned to at least two reviewers selected among specialists in the related field. J DEU Med aspires to notify authors
about the review decision within 6‐8 weeks following submission. Considering the suggestions of the reviewers, the editor may request revision of the article. The revision should be completed within 8 weeks. If the revised version of the manuscript is not submitted within the allocated time, the manuscript will be evaluated as a new submission.

The authors will be informed about the final decision (rejection / acceptance) for the article by the editor.
Any requests for withdrawal of manuscripts close to the final decision, without reasonable explanation, will be rejected.
All authors of a manuscript accepted for publication should consent that editors could make corrections without changing the basic meaning of the text of the manuscript written.
