Mission
The mission of the journal is to expand the scientific understanding of medicine by uniting researchers from diverse disciplines in a supportive and dynamic academic environment.
In doing so, the Aegean Journal of Medical Sciences is committed to promoting ethical integrity, editorial independence, transparency, and open access in scientific publishing.
Ethical and Editorial Standards
The Editorial Board adheres to the principles and best practices set forth by the following international organizations:
• Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
• International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)
• World Association of Medical Editors (WAME)
• Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT)
• Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE)
Aligned with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), the Aegean Journal of Medical Sciences is dedicated to ensuring that scientific knowledge remains freely accessible and universally available.
1. General Principles
The Aegean Journal of Medical Sciences (Ege Tıp Bilimleri Dergisi) adopts the international publishing principles set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
The journal also publishes in accordance with the ethical and publishing principles of the DergiPark system, under the umbrella of TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM.
2. Human and Animal Rights
For all research involving human subjects, ethics committee approval and a declaration that the study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (2013 revision) are mandatory.
For animal experiments, authors must demonstrate compliance with the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” and submit animal ethics committee approval.
The ethics committee approval certificate must be uploaded to the DergiPark system along with the manuscript submission.
Ethical approval, informed consent, and compliance with guidelines must be explicitly stated in the Materials and Methods section.
If data that could reveal the identity of subjects is used, written informed consent must be obtained from the patients. For individuals under the age of 18, consent from a parent or legal guardian is required.
3. Plagiarism and Publication Ethics Violations
All manuscripts are screened using iThenticate similarity software. The similarity rate must not exceed 20%.
In accordance with the principle of transparency, authors are obliged to provide the raw data sets used in the manuscript upon the request of the Editorial Board.
Acts such as plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, salami slicing, gift authorship, or ghost authorship are considered ethical violations.
The Editor or Editorial Board has the right to reject, request corrections for, or perform formal editing on manuscripts that do not comply with ethical standards. Requesting an author to correct an ethical violation does not guarantee that the manuscript will be published.
Corrections requested from authors must be completed within 30 days. Otherwise, the submission will be considered a new application.
4. Declarations and Conflicts of Interest
All sources of financial support and potential conflicts of interest must be clearly declared. Authors must complete the ICMJE Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form.
Authors should avoid entering into sponsorship agreements that may restrict their ability to access all study data or to analyze, interpret, and publish the manuscript.
Potential conflicts of interest among editors, authors, and reviewers are evaluated within the framework of COPE and ICMJE guidelines.
Editors who make final decisions on manuscripts must not have personal, professional, or financial ties to the manuscripts they are evaluating. Any editor, reviewer, or author with a conflict of interest is excluded from the manuscript evaluation process.
5. Authorship and Contribution Declaration
Authorship is based on the ICMJE criteria (JAMA 1997;277:927–934). Every author must:
1. Make substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data;
2. Draft the work or revise it critically for important intellectual content;
3. Read and approve the final version to be published.
All three of these conditions must be met. Manuscripts must be submitted for evaluation only after receiving written approval from all contributing authors.
The cover letter accompanying the manuscript submission must confirm that all authors have met these three criteria. Individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet the authorship criteria should be listed in the Acknowledgments section.
6. Editors’ Authorship and Editorial Independence
Editors may only submit their own manuscripts to the journal as editorial articles. Section Editors may submit manuscripts, but these articles are evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process, and the editor has no involvement in the process management.
The journal management, publisher, or the institution that owns the journal may not make suggestions to the editors regarding manuscripts submitted to the Aegean Journal of Medical Sciences and/or exert pressure on editorial decisions. Editorial independence is essential.
7. Language Use
The journal adopts the use of inclusive, non-discriminatory, and impartial language. Language that discriminates based on gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability, or belief must not be used.
8. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Policy
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools cannot be listed as an author.
If authors used AI tools (in text, image generation, or analysis), they must transparently declare this in both the Methods section and the cover letter.
Suggested wording:
“During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used [Tool Name, e.g., ChatGPT, OpenAI] for [specified purpose]. The authors have reviewed and approved the content and take full responsibility for the publication.”
Non-transparent use of AI is considered an ethical violation.
9. Advertising Policy and Publisher
The Aegean Journal of Medical Sciences is the periodic, peer-reviewed, open-access, official scientific publication of the Uşak Surgical Association.
The journal operates independently of all commercial advertising and sponsorship. All editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit and academic quality. The journal operates in accordance with the financial and publishing policies of the Uşak Surgical Association, while maintaining its editorial independence.
10. Appeals and Complaints Process
Appeals and complaints are evaluated by the Editorial Board according to COPE guidelines. Appeals must primarily be based on the scientific content of the manuscript or concrete errors in the review process.
The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on appeals. In necessary cases (unresolved disputes), an independent ethics editor or mediator may be appointed.
Authors should send their requests to egetipbilimleridergisi@gmail.com.
11. Handling Unethical Conduct
In cases of scientific fraud, plagiarism, or misconduct, the Publisher, in collaboration with the Editorial Board, will publish a corrigendum, expression of concern, or retraction. Such violations are not tolerated under any circumstances.
12. Errors in Published Works
If authors discover a significant error in their published work, they must immediately inform the journal and cooperate in its correction.
If editors or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a material error, the authors must promptly correct the article, provide grounds for its retraction, or provide the journal editors with proof of the article’s accuracy.
13. Digital Archiving and Preservation
All content is stored on primary and backup servers. In the event of potential data loss, archive access is ensured through national and international third-party systems.
The journal ensures long-term preservation through indexing services and open-access archives such as LOCKSS and PKP PN.
In the event of the journal’s cessation of publication, authors may contact egetipbilimleridergisi@gmail.com to access the existing archive.
14. Authors’ Archiving Policy

Giovanni Mario Pes is an Associate Professor at the Department of Medical, Surgical, and Experimental Sciences at the University of Sassari, Italy. His
pioneering work inspired research on the critical role lifestyle plays in health and longevity and inspired the concept of Blue Zones. He began
