⚠️ Important Notices
The similarity report for submitted manuscripts, including those derived from the author's own thesis and/or project reports, should not exceed 20% in total and 4% from a single source. Since our journal conducts similarity checks, it is crucial not to submit similarity reports during manuscript submission. Similarity reports uploaded by authors are not considered. If an article fails to fulfill the similarity criteria twice in a row, it will not be considered for evaluation when resubmitted. Our journal reserves the right to impose restrictions on future manuscript submissions by authors who act contrary to ethical principles and publication policies. Manuscripts lacking the Copyright Transfer Form or exceeding the similarity thresholds will not be considered for evaluation.
Researchers intending to submit to our journal are strongly advised to prepare and upload their manuscripts using the updated article templates. Manuscripts not prepared according to the template will be returned to the author for revision. Failure to make the requested corrections will result in return or rejection.
🧪 Ethics Committee Approval Requirement
According to the decision made by ULAKBİM on February 25, 2020, "For all scientific fields, studies requiring ethics committee approval, such as clinical and experimental studies on humans and animals, must obtain separate ethics committee approvals, which should be stated and documented in the article." Authors must adhere to this requirement. Manuscripts not meeting this condition will not be accepted.
