Main Text
Original Research Article
Original research manuscripts must be on topics within the scope of the journal, present original and important scientific findings, and be complete studies of the scientific research process. Original Research articles consist of the following sections:
Introduction: In this section, the importance of the topic and the scientific foundations should be presented clearly; the research problem should be explained in relation to current studies; the gap in knowledge the study addresses should be detailed. Then the aim of the research, hypotheses, or research questions should be presented.
Methods: This section should include the type of research, the place it was conducted, the population and sample, data collection techniques and tools, data evaluation methods, and ethical aspects.
Results: The results should be presented systematically, with statistical data, in a way that tests research hypotheses or answers research questions. Information in figures and tables should not be repeated unless necessary. This section should contain only analysis results.
Discussion: In this section, findings should be evaluated and presented systematically. Which research questions or hypotheses are supported or not supported should be explained with justification. The limitations and weaknesses of the study should be addressed.
Conclusion: The importance of the topic should be briefly emphasized; without repetition, the new information or contribution obtained from findings should be summarized and recommendations for future research presented.
References: All sources used must be prepared according to the American Psychological Association (APA) 6 style (http://www.tk.org.tr/APA/apa_2.pdf) and listed in alphabetical order on a separate page at the end of the text.
Tables: Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. All abbreviations and p-value symbols (*, **) and other symbols should be defined in footnotes. Each table should appear on a separate page after the references.

Review
Review manuscripts, preferably written by experts with background and publications in the field, discuss current and need-oriented topics using up-to-date national and international sources, and express authors’ views. Their sections are: Introduction, Subject Subheadings, and References.

Case Report
These are studies containing cases with clinical importance and scientific contribution. Case report manuscripts include sections: Introduction, Case Report, Discussion, References, and if necessary tables. Informed consent should be obtained and stated in the main text.
