Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

The journal only accepts articles that comply with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), Council of Science Editors (CSE), European Association of Science Editors (EASE), National Information Standards Organization (NISO) and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.

The ethical committee name, ethical approval information, approval number, and date should be reported in the methods section of the clinical and trial research.

Ensuring the anonymity of the participants is the authors' responsibility. For the pictures that can reveal the identity of the participants, written approval from the participant or their legal guardian should be attached to the article. Informed consent should be taken from the participants and should be reported in the “methods” section of the article.
