Manuscript style: Manuscripts should be prepared with the Microsoft Word program, and the text should be written in “Times New Roman” in 10 font size and single-spaced. Line numbers should be given.
Word limit: It is recommended that manuscripts should not exceed 3000 words for research articles, 4000 words for qualitative studies, 4000 words for review articles, 750 words for letters to the editor, and 2500 words for case reports.
Abbreviations, symbols and units: Abbreviations should be written in parentheses at the first occurrence and then used as abbreviations in the text. Genus and species names should be in Latin and italicized. All measurements should be indicated according to the International System of Units. (https://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units)
Tables and figures: No more than seven for all fonts and no more than two for letters to the editor. All views (photographs, drawings, diagrams, charts, graphs, maps, etc.) that do not contain tables should be called figures. Each table and figure should be placed in its proper place in the text and should be cited in the text. References in the text should be given in parentheses and with the number of the relevant image. If more than one image is to be referred to, the relevant numbers should be separated by hyphens (e.g. Table 1-2). All tables and figures should be numbered consecutively in the text. Abbreviations used should be explained under figures and tables. Illustrations/photographs should be in color, with enough contrast and clarity to see the details. In order to ensure clear printing, figures, images/photographs should be submitted to the journal as separate tif, .png, .jpg or .gif files (scanned at a resolution of at least 300 dpi).

12. Additional Information: If the study was produced from a medical specialty, master's or doctoral thesis or presented at scientific meetings, information about its previous use should be given according to the following conditions.
13. - If the study was published as an abstract; the title of the abstract, the name of the event, date and place should be written.
14. - If the study is derived from a thesis, the name of the thesis, the name of the advisor, the university and institute where it was done, the date and place of completion should be written.
