ARTICLE PREPARATION

Articles should be prepared in accordance with the ICMJE (Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals) (updated in December 2015 - http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf) standards.

Authors should;

• For randomized research studies, CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials)
• For observational original research studies, STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology), STARD (the Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy), PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses)
• For non-randomized behavioral and public health evaluations, TREND (Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Non-randomized Designs) guidelines should be used as a basis.
Articles can only be submitted through the journal's online article submission and evaluation system https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/maunsbd. Articles sent through any other medium will not be evaluated.

Articles will first enter a technical evaluation process where the editorial staff will ensure that the article has been prepared and submitted in accordance with the journal's guidelines. Articles that do not comply with the journal's guidelines will be returned to the relevant author with requests for technical corrections.
The quality and clarity of the language used is very important. A text that is ready for publication must be submitted. If the publication language does not comply with the journal standards, the article may be requested to be edited. Muş Alparslan University Journal of Health Sciences uses Turkish and US English.
Article Types

Original Article
A type of article that provides new information based on original research. The main text of the article should be structured with the subheadings Introduction, Materials and Methods, Findings, Discussion, and Conclusion. The main text (excluding the abstract, material-method section, references, tables, and figure legends) is limited to 5,000 words. It should include an unstructured abstract of maximum 250 words. The reference limit is 50, the table limit is 5, and the figure limit is 6.

Review articles
Two types of reviews are accepted for publication in the Muş Alparslan University Journal of Health Sciences: traditional reviews and systematic reviews. Traditional reviews prepared by authors with extensive knowledge in a specific field and widely accepted scientific background are welcomed.

Traditional reviews: These reviews are prepared by authors with extensive knowledge in a specific field and widely accepted scientific background. These authors may even be invited by the journal. The review should describe, discuss and evaluate the current level of knowledge on a topic in the field of health sciences and guide future studies. The main text should include Introduction, Subheadings, and Conclusion sections. It should include an unstructured abstract of maximum 250 words. The main text is limited to 5,000 words. The reference limit is 50, the table limit is 5, and the figure limit is 6.

Systematic reviews: Systematic and unbiased scanning of original studies published in a field in accordance with specified criteria to find an answer to a research question prepared on a specific topic, evaluating the validity of the studies found and combining them by synthesizing them. Meta-analysis is optional. Systematic reviews will be considered as original articles. Details of expectations for systematic reviews can be found in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, available at http://training.cochrane.org/handbook. It should include an unstructured abstract of no more than 300 words. The main text should include Introduction, Materials and Methods (data sources, study eligibility criteria, participants, interventions, etc. and statistical analysis), Findings, Discussion, and Conclusion sections. The main text is limited to 5,000 words. The number of references will depend on the scope of the topic being reviewed, but should not exceed 60. The limit for tables is 5, and the limit for figures is 6.

Letter to the Editor
A paper discussing important observations, overlooked aspects or details missing from a previously published article. Noteworthy articles on topics within the scope of the journal, especially educational cases, may also be submitted as a “Letter to the Editor”. The abstract should not include tables, figures or other media. The article in question should be cited appropriately. The text should be unstructured and limited to 1,500 words. No more than 10 references will be accepted.

Abstract
A Turkish and English abstract is required for all submissions except for letters to the editor. Articles must include an unstructured abstract of no more than 250 words.

Keywords: At least three and up to six keywords (in Turkish and English) must be included in each submission for subject indexing at the end of the abstract. Keywords must be listed in full, without abbreviation. It is recommended that keywords be selected from the National Library of Medicine, Medical Subject Headings database (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html).

Introduction
Create a context or background that emphasizes the nature and importance of the problem. State the specific purpose of the study or observation, the research objective, or the hypothesis being tested. Cite only directly relevant references. Do not include data or results from reported studies.

Material-Method
The rules that apply to all scientific research apply to survey studies and the following must be followed:
For survey studies:
 Study location and design (Time/time interval of the study must be specified.)
 Type of research
 Population (The population of the study and the sample, if selected, must be clearly stated. If selected, how the sample size was calculated and which sample selection method(s) were used must be specified. The study must be based on the data of the number of participants required for scientific validity.)
 Survey (The sections of the survey and how many questions it consists of must be explained.)
 Data collection (The data collection method of the study must be written and how the data was collected must be explained. When collecting data, permission must be obtained from the participants to participate in the study.)
 Statistical analysis (Which statistical methods were used for which analyses must be clearly stated.)
 Ethics committee approval (Name of the ethics committee, approval date, regulation number) In addition, administrative permission must be obtained from the relevant authorities for works that require administrative permission.

For clinical and laboratory studies:
 Study location and design
 Ethics committee approval (name of ethics committee, approval date, regulation number)
 Patients and data collection
 Diagnostic criteria
 Definitions (if necessary for diseases, interventions or data collection)
 Inclusion criteria
 Exclusion criteria
 Clinical, surgical and laboratory examinations
 Statistical analysis

Statistical Analysis
A detailed description of the statistical analyses performed should be provided under a separate subheading in the material-methods section. The description of the statistical analyses performed should be included in the Material-Methods section. This section should detail the following:
 Data collection: Information on how the data were collected. Details of the sampling strategy, power and sample size calculation, inclusion/exclusion criteria should be specified.
 Data processing: Information on how the raw data was processed prior to data analysis, such as identifying outliers, normalization, data transformation, etc.
 Summarizing the data: Information about the data values ​​as the results of the analysis (e.g., values ​​are expressed as Mean±SD or Median [1st, 3rd quartile]). It may also be useful to briefly touch on selected summary statistics.

 Assumptions: Information about how statistical assumptions were tested (e.g., histograms and Q-Q plots were examined, the Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess data normality, the Levene test was used to test for homogeneity of variance, etc.).

 Hypothesis testing and modeling: Information about the statistical methods used and the purpose (e.g., a two-sided independent samples t test was used to compare C-peptide levels in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, a linear regression model was applied to adjust for multiple variables, etc.).

 Software: Information about any statistical software used in data analysis (e.g., analyses were performed using SPSS version 15.0 (Chicago, IL) or IBM SPSS version 20.0, etc.).
Statistical modeling (e.g., regression analysis, classification, clustering, linear models, etc.) requires significant effort and the steps used should be described in detail. What were the results of the univariate analysis? What criteria were used to select the variables included in the multivariate analysis? How did the final model fit the data? What was the goodness of fit of the selected model? Finally, model validity should be described to determine the validity of the constructed model.

Tables
Tables should be embedded in the main text. They should be numbered in the order they appear in the main text. An explanatory title should be placed above the tables. Abbreviations used in tables should be defined in footnotes below the table, even if they are defined in the main text. Tables should be created using the “insert table” command of word processing software and should be designed to be easy to read. The data presented in the tables should not be a repetition of the data presented in the main text, but should support the main text.

Figures
Figures, graphs, and photographs should be uploaded embedded in the main text. Graphs and photographs should also be submitted as separate files in JPEG format through the article submission system. When there are figure subunits, the subunits should not be combined to create a single image. Each subunit should be submitted separately through the submission system. Images should not be labeled to indicate figure subunits (a, b, c, etc.). Thick and thin arrows, arrowheads, stars, asterisks, and similar markings may be used in images to support the figure legend. Like the rest of the submission, figures should be blinded so that they do not contain any information that could identify a person or institution. The minimum resolution of each submitted figure must be 300 DPI. To avoid delays in the evaluation process, all figures submitted must have a clear resolution and a large size (minimum dimensions: 100x100 mm).

Other Points to Consider
 All acronyms and abbreviations used in the article must be defined at first use, both in the abstract and in the main text. The abbreviation should be given in parentheses following the definition. Units should be prepared in accordance with the International System of Units (SI). When a drug, device, hardware or software program or other product is mentioned in the main text, the name of the product, the manufacturer/copyright holder of the product (not just the seller), the city and country of the company (including the region), should be given in parentheses in the following format: “Discovery St PET/CT scanner (General Electric Co., Boston, MA, USA)”

 All references, tables and figures should be cited in the main text and numbered in the order they appear in the main text.

 Limitations, drawbacks and deficiencies of the original articles should be stated in the Discussion section before the conclusion paragraph.

 Except for figures and tables, numbers from one to three should be written in words unless used as a unit of measurement.

 Contrary to English grammar rules, in Turkish, a comma (,) is used as a decimal point and a period (.) is used for every third digit to the left of the decimal point.

When creating ethical duties and responsibilities, the guidelines and policies published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf) as open access have been taken into consideration.

Ensuring the Accuracy of Scientific Information

Ethics in reporting research results: The scientific method is based on the reproducibility and verifiability of observations. Data cannot be fabricated or changed to obtain a specific result or support hypotheses, including by manipulating visual materials. A portion of the data or findings cannot be ignored in order to obtain a more desired and convincing result.

If there is an unintentional error in the writing, the author must announce this error to the readership when he/she notices it after the article is published. To do this, he/she must first notify the editor and publisher of the error and ensure that the correction is published. Each correction must be published on the web and made accessible to readers.

Storage and sharing of data: In case of doubts regarding the accuracy of the research report, the author must submit the data to the editor. If the author does not submit the data, the article will be rejected without further evaluation. The researcher must keep the data, application procedures and other materials for at least 5 (five) years from the date of publication of the research. After the article is published, if other [qualified] researchers request the research data, they must share the data. However, before sharing the data with other researchers, all codes and data that can be associated with the identification of the subjects/participants must be deleted. If the research is funded by an institution, the necessary precautions must be taken to protect the rights of this institution and to ensure proper attribution. A written agreement text that includes the purpose of use of the data, scope of use, conditions and limitations, limits and conditions of sharing with third parties must be signed and recorded between the researcher who wants to share the data and the researcher who owns the data.

Re-publication of data or publication in parts: Re-publication of data is the publication of findings obtained from the same data in a second journal or another source as if they were published for the first time. Re-publication also results in a violation of legal regulations regarding copyright. Because the author cannot grant copyright to more than one institution for the same work. A previously published work, in its entirety or a part that exceeds the amount that can be cited with reference, cannot be published a second time and in another source. A work with the same content or substantially similar to a previously published article cannot be submitted for consideration for publication. Articles that have been presented as a paper but have not been published can be submitted for consideration in a journal by indicating in a footnote that they were presented as a paper. However, published papers cannot be submitted for consideration for publication in journals.

In rare cases, if the author wishes the research results to be accessible to a different audience, it may be possible to publish the results in a new source provided that the following conditions are met:

The re-published material is relatively shortened compared to the original text.
It should be clearly stated in a footnote that the information has been published before and the previous publication should be fully referenced.

Previously published tables, graphs and visuals should be stated as [reprints] in the text and as footnotes.

The original publication should be clearly and correctly included in the references.

The data obtained from a study should be presented in its entirety and should not be divided into parts. It may be misleading to publish the study by dividing it into parts. However, in cases where it is appropriate to extract more than one publication from the results of large-scale, long-term or interdisciplinary studies, more than one publication can be extracted from the same source or from different sources. In interdisciplinary studies, it may not be appropriate to publish research findings in a single source. In long-term studies, if the results of the analyses made at different stages of the study provide an original contribution to scientific knowledge, the analyses at different stages can be published as separate studies but by specifying the stage of the research. In this case, publications based on the previous stages of the research should be cited. In publications based on long-term studies, information provided in publications made in the early stages of the same research should not be repeated, and references should be made to previous information to inform the reader.

If more than one study based on the same research is submitted for evaluation, this issue should be explained to the editor and the editor should evaluate whether the second study meets the criteria for publication as a separate study.

Plagiarism and self-plagiarism: Authors cannot write information and ideas belonging to others as their own. Similarly, they cannot publish their own previously published studies or parts of these studies without citing or citing them.

Protection of Participants' Rights and Interests

The confidentiality of the information provided by the participants must be protected and secured. Therefore, the research report should not contain information that would allow the identification of the participants. In the event that a subordinate-superior relationship or teacher-student relationship exists in the collection of data from the participants and the obtaining of their consent for the use of the data, care must be taken to ensure that this relationship does not put the subordinate under pressure to provide the requested information and consent. Especially for academics, seeing their students as "natural subjects" can create a serious bias in the research and may also result in the violation of the students' rights to provide or not provide information of their own volition.

If the subject of the research is the evaluation of a service or product, the researcher should not have a commercial relationship with the relevant institution or any conflict of interest. If the researcher has a relationship that can be considered as a conflict of interest, this relationship should be expressed as a limitation, even if there is no conflict of interest that will affect the objectivity of the research process.

Protection of Intellectual Property Rights

Authorship is a right gained by making a significant contribution to a study and accepting responsibility for the published work. Making a significant contribution means formulating the problem or hypothesis, structuring the experimental design or application procedures, performing statistical analyses, interpreting the results, and writing a portion of the study. Those who make significant contributions are listed as authors. However, the names and contributions of those who make other contributions that cannot be listed as authors should be indicated in footnotes. Other contributions that do not grant authorship but should be indicated include providing support in the creation of the data collection tool, making suggestions on data analysis techniques, collecting or entering data, ensuring the presence of participants, and performing routine observations.

In general, when listing the names of authors, the contributions of each author are taken into account, and the author names are listed starting from the author who contributed the most. If the contributions of the authors are equal, this issue can be clearly stated and the order can be made alphabetically. Institutional or professional titles and statuses are not taken into account in listing the names of authors.

According to Article 35 of Law No. 5846 on the Protection of Intellectual and Artistic Works (and Law No. 4630 amending this Law), quotation and reference must be made. According to Law No. 4630, the legal framework for quotation or reference is defined as follows:

“Article 35 – It is permissible to quote from a work in the following cases:

Including some sentences and paragraphs of a publicized work in an independent scientific and literary work;
Including parts of a published composition, mostly themes, motifs, passages and ideas, in an independent musical work;
Including publicized works of fine art and other published works in a scientific work to a degree justified by the purpose and for the purpose of clarifying their content;
Displaying publicized works of fine art in scientific conferences or lessons using projections or similar means in order to clarify the subject.

The quotation must be made in a way that is obvious. In scientific works, in addition to the name of the work used and the author of the work, the place from which this part was taken is indicated.”

Exceeding the limits of quotation and reference specified in this article, violating this article constitutes a crime and the penalties to be applied in case of this crime are regulated by Article 71 of Law No. 4630:

“Article 71 - (Amended article: 01/11/1983 -2936/11. Article; Amended article: 23/01/2008-5728 S.K./138. Article)

By violating the moral, financial or related rights related to intellectual and artistic works protected in this Law:

Those who process, represent, reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit to the public by means of any means of transmitting signs, sounds or images, publish or offer for sale, sell, rent or lend or otherwise distribute works that have been processed or reproduced illegally, purchase for commercial purposes, import or export, for personal use Anyone who possesses or stores these items outside the country shall be sentenced to imprisonment from one to five years or a judicial fine.
