The journal adopts the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All submitted manuscripts undergo a similarity check prior to peer review; manuscripts exceeding the defined similarity threshold are not admitted to evaluation. Plagiarism, data fabrication, duplicate publication, and other ethical violations are not tolerated. Ethics committee approval is required for studies involving human participants, and compliance with international ethical standards is required for animal studies. The journal follows a double-blind peer review process: following editorial pre-assessment, suitable manuscripts are sent to at least two independent reviewers, who complete their evaluation within 30 days. In cases of conflict of interest, the relevant reviewer or editor withdraws from the process. The journal is fully open access; no fees (including article processing charges) are collected from authors or readers. Copyright is retained by the authors, while the right of first publication is granted to Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University. Authors bear full scientific and legal responsibility for the content of their published work.
