Responsibilities of Authors
The author is expected to be held accountable for the accuracy of the data and information about the submitted article. A proper and relevant citation should be considered by presenting the original original output of the authors' research, documenting the data and documenting the discussion. A writer should not repeat any research data from himself or herself when making an original manuscript for a primary publication in the magazine. The reported scope of work should be based on the appropriate references of other publications that affect it. Before submitting any article, the authors should check the extent of the journal and, in the case of any inquiries, contact the Editorial Office.
Authors should strictly comply with the authorship criteria. All listed authors have made important contributions to the research presented in the manuscript and must have approved all their claims. Anyone who should be considered as the author of an original research article should contribute to any of the following methods: designing the study, conducting the study or conducting the experiments, taking part in the analysis of the data. It is necessary to include everybody who makes a significant contribution to the completion of their research work. The financial and personal benefits governing the findings or research of the nature, as well as financial support details and resources, should be clearly stated.
Author ContributionsFor full transparency, all submitted manuscripts must include an author contribution statement that identifies the work of each author. For research articles with multiple authors, a short paragraph should be provided indicating their individual contributions. Please indicate the contribution of each author to the submitted article in the table below.
Authorship FormThe following statements should be used: Study Design, XX and XX; Data Collection, XX; Statistical Analysis, XX; Data Interpretation, XX and XX; Manuscript Preparation, XX and XX; Literature Search, XX and XX. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.
Please see the
CRediT taxonomy for a definition of terms. Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the reported work.
The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and other authors, keeping co-authors informed and involved in important decisions regarding publication. Co-first authors may be identified in the manuscript by including the statement "X and X contributed equally to this article." The roles of co-authors should also be adequately explained in the contribution statement.
For review articles where individual statements are less valid, a statement should be included explaining who was responsible for the idea, who performed the literature review and/or data analysis, and who drafted and reviewed the work.
For articles based primarily on a student's thesis or dissertation, IJDSHS recommends that the student be listed as the lead author.
Deceased AuthorsIf a manuscript is submitted with a deceased author in authorship during the process, or if an author dies during peer review, the corresponding author or co-authors should notify the IJDSHS editorial office. If the deceased author is a corresponding author, the authorship group should nominate a co-author for this role. The corresponding author should confirm the deceased author's contribution and any potential conflicts of interest. A note will be added to the author list after publication.
Changes in AuthorshipAuthors are expected to carefully consider authorship before submitting a manuscript. Any changes to the author list should be made during the editorial process prior to acceptance of the manuscript. Authorship changes, including adding, removing, or rearranging author names, require approval from all authors, including those to be removed. To request any change in authorship, the journal must receive a completed authorship change form that includes signatures from all authors and indicates the reason for the change. Any change in authorship requested after the manuscript has been accepted will result in a delay in publication. If the manuscript has been previously published, requests for changes in authorship will be considered and a correction will need to be published. We reserve the right to request proof of authorship, and changes in authorship after acceptance will be made at the discretion of the IJDSHS editorial board.
Author Name Change PolicySome authors may wish to change their name after publication. In such cases, IJDSHS will update and republish the article and resubmit the updated metadata to the appropriate indexing databases (please note that all updates are subject to the policies of the databases). Our teams recognize that name changes for various reasons, such as gender identity, marriage, divorce, or religious conversion, can be sensitive and/or private. Therefore, to protect author identity, no correction will be published and co-authors will not be notified. Authors should contact the journal's "Editorial Office" with name change requests.
Responsibilities of Evaluators
Editors are obliged to comply with the policies of "Blind Review and Review Process" stated in the journal's publication policies. Therefore, the editors ensure that each manuscript is reviewed in an unbiased, fair and timely manner.
Privacy Policy: Observers should not share or disclose any information about an assigned manuscript with strangers without permission from the Editor.
Competency Principle: You must complete the assessment with a qualified person. The appointed observer with unauthorized competence must feel responsible and may refuse to review because the evaluator is assumed to be an expert on the relevant field.
Constructive Evaluation
Reviewer's comments should assess the positive aspects of the studies, constructively describe their negative aspects and indicate the necessary equipment. An evaluator (Observer) should clearly and adequately explain and support the judgment of the editors and the authors for their interpretation. The reviewer must ensure that he or she is accompanied by a relevant reference to an observation or argument previously reported, and should immediately notify the editor if he / she is aware of the repetitive publication. The interpreter should not use any kind of abusive language when commenting on a article. The evaluation of each article should be made without prejudice and personal attention by the person who has been appointed.
Disclosure of Conflict of Interest
The observer should minimize conflict of interest as much as possible. In such a case, the eye must inform the editor of the conflict of interest. Observers must be sufficiently active to present their review comments in a timely manner, and to respond to questions asked by the editor, if any.
Selection Process of the Editorial BoardThe Editorial Board must include members from diverse geographic locations to enhance the journal

International Journal of Disabilities Sports and Health Sciences (IJDSHS) editors, editorial board members, and editors' assistants are welcome to submit their original manuscripts to the IJDSHS, but they have to know that they cannot be involved in the peer-review and editorial decision-making process for their own manuscripts. In this case, the publisher chooses a guest editor for the IJDSHS editors, editorial board members, and editors’ assistants' manuscripts to handle independently the peer-review and editorial decision-making process. The publisher clearly states the case to the readers (e.g., via a footnote, endnote on the article or on the journal website) on how to carry out the IJDSHS staff's manuscripts. When IJDSHS encounters disagreements, IJDSHS follows
COPE Guidelines.
Ethical Responsibilities of Reviewers
The fact that all manuscripts are reviewed through "Blind Review" has a direct influence on the publication quality. This process ensures confidentiality by objective and independent review. The review process at IJDSHS is carried out on the principle of double blind review. Reviewers do not contact the authors directly, and the reviews and comments are conveyed through the journal management system. In this process, the reviewer views on the evaluation forms and full texts are assigned to the author(s) by the editor. Therefore, the reviewers doing review work for IJDSHS are supposed to bear the following ethical responsibilities:
Reviewers must
• Agree to review only in their subject of expertise.
• Review in an unbiased and confidential manner.
• Inform the editor of the journal if they think that they encounter conflict of interests and decline to review the manuscript during the review process.
• Dispose the manuscripts they have reviewed in accordance with the principle of confidentiality after the review process. Reviewers can use the final versions of the manuscripts they have reviewed only after publication.
• Review the manuscript objectively and only in terms of its content and ensure that nationality, gender, religious and political beliefs, and economic apprehension do not influence the review.
• Review the manuscript in a constructive and kind tone, avoid making personal comments including hostility, slander and insult.
• Review the manuscript they have agreed to review on time and in accordance with the ethical rules stated above.
Human and Animal Rights and Informed Consent PoliciesInstitutional Review Board StatementWhen reporting research involving human participants, human materials, human tissues, or human data, authors must declare that the studies were conducted in accordance with the principles of the
Declaration of Helsinki (1975) and its 2013 revision. According to Article 23 of this declaration, approval must be obtained from the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) or another appropriate ethics committee to ensure compliance with national and international guidelines. At a minimum, the "Institutional Review Board Statement" section of the article must include the project identification code, approval date, and the name of the ethics committee or institutional review board.
Informed Consent StatementManuscripts reporting studies involving human participants, human data, or human tissues must include a statement of informed consent for participation in the research. In some cases (e.g., ethnographic studies), verbal informed consent may be acceptable. Authors must justify the use of verbal consent in the "Informed Consent Statement" section. For verbal consent, a copy of the text used during the submission process must be provided. For manuscripts containing identifiable patient/participant information (e.g., personal details, images, or videos), written informed consent for publication must be obtained from the participants (or their relatives/legal guardians) before submission to the IJDSHS journal. An anonymous and unsigned consent form must be submitted.
Registration of Clinical TrialsClinical trials must adhere to all policies Research Involving Human Subjects. IJDSHS follows the guidelines of the
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), which require that clinical trials be registered in a publicly accessible registry system before or at the time of the first patient enrollment. A clinical trial is defined as any research project that assigns participants to an intervention to examine health-related outcomes. This includes studies involving randomization and group classification, extending beyond hospital settings or pharmaceutical studies. Authors must register their clinical trials with
clinicaltrials.gov, the
EU Clinical Trials Register, or other registry systems listed on the World Health Organization
International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. The registry name, study registration number, and registration date must be stated in the Institutional Review Board Statement or methods section. Approval from a review board does not substitute for clinical trial registration. IJDSHS may reject articles lacking proper registration.
Reporting Guidelines for Randomized Clinical TrialsFor randomized clinical trials, IJDSHS requires a completed
CONSORT 2010 checklist and
flow diagram at the time of submission. Templates are available on the
CONSORT website. Articles must address all items on the checklist.
Research Involving the Use of AnimalsResearch involving animals must justify the benefits relative to the harm caused. Authors must adhere to the '3R' principles:
a)
Replacement: Use alternatives to animals whenever possible.
b)
Reduction: Minimize the number of animals used.
c)
Refinement: Optimize conditions to reduce harm.
Manuscripts must include details on housing, care, and pain management. Authors should follow guidelines such as the Code of Practice for the Housing and Care of Animals Used in Scientific Procedures or standards from the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science or the European Animal Research Association. For studies involving vertebrates or higher invertebrates, ethics committee approval must be obtained where required by law. The project identification code, approval date, and ethics committee name must be stated in the "Institutional Review Board Statement" section. Clinical studies involving owned animals require informed consent from the owners, with risks disclosed and high veterinary care standards maintained. If ethical approval is not required, authors must provide a statement of exemption from an ethics committee or justify the study's ethical framework. IJDSHS endorses the ARRIVE guidelines (arriveguidelines.org/) for reporting experiments using live animals. Authors and reviewers must use the
ARRIVE guidelines as a checklist, which can be found at.
Submissions may be rejected due to non-compliance or ethical concerns.
Vulnerable Population Policy
International Journal of Disabilities Sports and Health Sciences will not publish research that does not comply with the following policies. The purpose of these policies is to protect vulnerable groups as research participants and to ensure that research is scientifically sound, ethical, and socially beneficial.
Vulnerable groups research must be conducted in accordance with the WMA Helsinki Declaration, Articles 19 and 20, and approved by an ethics committee decision by the legal authority. The study must meet the needs and priorities of the group/individuals in which it is conducted. The case in which the study cannot be carried out outside of these groups and individuals is taken into consideration. In research involving vulnerable groups, additional measures to protect volunteers must be documented by researchers/s. The journal editor/advisory board may conduct an additional review within the framework of basic ethical principles. Additional information may be requested in addition to ethics committee permissions during the journal review process.
Scientific Quality
The scientific quality of research conducted with vulnerable groups must be in accordance with the standards of the Helsinki Declaration, ICH, and the Human Rights and Biomedicine Convention. This means that the research must be well-designed, the research protocol must be properly implemented, and the methods for compiling and analyzing the data must be valid.
Autonomy Principle
Vulnerable groups and individuals must be protected in terms of informed consent processes that are not based on coercion, pressure, or incomplete information. This includes ensuring that research participants are fully informed about the nature, risks, and benefits of the research, and that they have the right to freely decide whether or not to participate.
Privacy Principle
For the publication of research conducted with vulnerable groups, the confidentiality of participants and the anonymity of data must be ensured. This means that the identities and personal information of research participants cannot be disclosed.
Justice Principle
Research on vulnerable groups must be in accordance with the principles of equality and justice. This means that research should not discriminate on the basis of gender, ethnicity, religious belief, socioeconomic status, or other demographic factors.
Social Benefit
The fundamental criterion is that the interests of the volunteers who participate in the research should take precedence over the social and scientific benefits. It is expected that research conducted with vulnerable groups will provide social benefits.
