The TR Index application process will be available for the 2026 issues of our journal.

The rules below have been prepared both to maintain the academic standards of our journal and to meet the evaluation criteria of the TR Index.
Submitted articles must be carefully classified according to their type (research article, case report, review, etc.)
Submitted articles must be carefully considered in terms of their formal characteristics, conformity to spelling rules, accuracy and compliance with standards of article sources, and the quality of the article title, abstract, and keywords. Every scientific article must have a bibliography. Sources should be written in the Latin alphabet, and attention should be paid to their presentation, accuracy, and accessibility. Particular attention should be paid to ensuring that sources are up-to-date, written in accordance with journal guidelines, and including a variety of foreign sources.
Scientific principles should be adhered to in sections on literature, methods, samples, findings, etc. used in studies.
Consideration should be given to the use of scientific language in English abstracts of Turkish articles and in English articles, and whether they are artificial intelligence or translation software languages.
For research conducted in all scientific fields requiring ethics committee approval, ethics committee approval must be obtained, and this approval must be stated and documented in the article.
In case reports (case studies), it is necessary to indicate that an "Informed Consent Form" has been obtained. Permission must be obtained and stated from the owners for the use of scales, surveys, and photographs belonging to others. It is also necessary to state that copyright regulations have been adhered to for the intellectual and artistic works used.
You can use the diagrams in the link to determine whether studies require ethics committee approval. EtikKurulOnayBelgesiSeması.pdf
The article's ethical considerations and ethics committee approvals must be clearly stated in the methods section of the relevant article.
Systematic reviews, discussion articles, and secondary analyses of appropriately anonymized data sets, which are regularly published types of studies, do not require ethics committee review. However, for such studies, the ethical considerations must be clearly stated in the methods section of the article.
