If there are very few contributors to the study, for example, language editing, they should be indicated in the acknowledgements section. The responsible author should make sure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the article and have accepted its submission for publication. Authors are expected to carefully review the list and order of authors before submitting their articles and provide the exact author list at the time of original submission. The editor will only consider the addition, deletion or re-editing of the authors after the article has been submitted in exceptional cases. All authors must agree to any such addition, subtraction or rearrangement. Authors take joint responsibility for the work.

Author Change Requests
Adding, deleting or rearranging the author names in the author list can only be done before the article is accepted and only if it is approved by the journal Editor.
If such a change is requested, the Editor shall request from the responsible author (a) the reason for the change in the author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail) from all authors that they have agreed to add. The editor will only consider, in exceptional cases, the addition, deletion or re-editing of the authors after the article has been accepted.

Article Writing
Those who write original research articles should address the issue in an original way and with an objective discussion. The article should include enough details and references to allow others to repeat the work. Fraudulent or knowingly false statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Originality
The author must provide a guarantee that the article is original, has not been published elsewhere before, and is not under evaluation for publication elsewhere, in another language.

Original Source Usage and Attribution
Authors should make sure that they have written completely original works and that if they have used the works or words of others, this is quoted appropriately. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence or discussions with third parties, should not be used without the express and written permission of the source.

Data Access and Storage
Authors may be asked to provide research data supporting their articles for editorial review and/or comply with the journal's open data requirements. Authors should be prepared, if possible, to provide public access to such data and to store such data for a reasonable period of time after publication. Our journal recommends that the research data be uploaded to TUBITAK's Aperta Portal.

Multiple and Simultaneous Broadcasting
An author should not publish an article containing the same research in more than one journal. Sending the same article to more than one journal at the same time is unethical behavior. An author should not submit a previously published article for consideration in another journal, except that it has been published in abstract form.

Publication of Studies Based on Surveys and Interviews

Conflict of Interest
Any financial or other type of interests that may cause a person to conflict with what he does, significantly impair his objectivity, or provide an unfair advantage in favor of any person or organization. All sources of financial support received during the conduct of the research and the preparation of the article and the role of sponsors in the study should be explained. If there is no source of financing, this should also be indicated. Examples of possible conflicts of interest that need to be disclosed include consultancies, salary Decrees, grants. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest possible stage.

Error Notification
When an author notices a significant error or inaccuracy in his published work, he should immediately notify the journal. It is also the author's obligation to cooperate to retract or correct the article if deemed necessary by the editor.
