Authors are required to strictly comply with the following submission guidelines:

All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be prepared in either Turkish or English. Manuscripts written in Turkish must include an English abstract.

Submitted works must be original and not previously published or simultaneously under review by another journal or platform.

Manuscripts should be submitted exclusively in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx); other file formats will not be accepted.

All submissions must be made through the journal’s official Online Submission System.

Manuscripts must conform to the journal’s prescribed template. Submissions that do not adhere to the template will be returned to the authors.

The full manuscript, including text, tables, figures, and references, must contain a minimum of 4000 words. Manuscripts below this threshold will not be considered for review.

Citation and referencing must strictly follow the guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA), 7th edition.

Authors are required to provide a plagiarism report with their submission, and the similarity index must not exceed 10%.

The journal employs a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two independent reviewers prior to publication.

Following language editor evaluation, requests for language revision (proofreading) may be made during the review or acceptance stages. Manuscripts will not be published without completion of necessary language editing, even if accepted.
