Türk Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Dergisi

Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation aims to transfer effective practice, study and research of physiotherapy and rehabilitation into scientific publications, to propagate them nationally and internationally, and so, to contribute to the scientific area.

Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is intended to health professionals and researchers. Therefore, besides the medical issues related with physiotherapy and rehabilitation (orthopedics, neurology, rheumatology, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiopulmonary, etc.), it covers a wide range of topics such as ergotherapy, social services, health management, ergonomics, biomedical and rehabilitation engineering, functional limitation and disability. The journal welcomes manuscripts from the above-mentioned disciplines and topics.

Missions of the Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Editorial Board with all its structures are:

• To maintain the compatibility of the journal with international scientific standards
• To carry out necessary studies for continuing to be cited in current national and international indexes,
• Distributing the submitted manuscripts to the internationally respected referees and to follow up the editorial process according to journal policies.
• To guide the authors during these processes.https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/journal/2860/file/2023/download

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is the official journal of the Turkish Physiotherapy Association. Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is open-access, free, impartial, and employs a double-blind peer-review process published electronically and in print. It is published three times a year, in April, August, and December, in Turkish and English. The manuscripts submitted in English will be given priority in the publication process. We are pleased to receive articles reporting original scientific research, invited reviews, systematic reviews or meta-analyses, rare case studies, and letters to the editor. The journal aims to publish original studies of the highest scientific, ethical, and clinical value on physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that it is not having commercial concerns. The publication of an article is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in Turkish, English or any other language. The journal adopts the principle of originality, which is the most important criterion for an article with high scientific quality and citation potential to be accepted for publication. The editorial rules of the journal are based on the guidelines published by Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals - International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org) and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (https:// publicationethics.org). Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (Turk J Physiother Rehabil) publishes articles from all over the world and gives priority to articles with the following characteristics:
• Original studies that address important research questions that will have an impact on physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices and test hypotheses with a strong method and research design
• Laboratory-based studies that can be the basis for clinical or field applications
• Studies that can help facilitate and improve decision-making in rehabilitation practices, policies, education, or research.
ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY
Editorial Board
Editors have ethical duties and responsibilities based on the “COPE Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors” and “COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors” published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) as open access. Editors:

Reviewers

Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation go through a double-blind peer-review process. To ensure an unbiased review process, each submission is reviewed by at least two independent reviewers who are experts in their fields. The reviewers are obliged to keep the information about the article confidential. In case of a conflict of interest, the reviewers notify the Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. The reviewers cannot use the article sent to them for any purpose until the evaluation process is completed and it is published. Reviewers should use kind and constructive language while evaluating the article and avoid bad comments and expressions. The reviewers are responsible for evaluating the article on time and by paying attention to the ethical rules.

Authors should document informed consent or consent forms of patients or participants when necessary. Information about the approval of the volunteers, the name of the ethics committee, and the ethics committee approval number should also be stated in the “METHOD” section of the manuscript. For studies that do not require ethics committee approval, letter of an exemption from the ethics committee in accordance with the design and content of the study or an informative statement written by the responsible author (for meta-analysis, systematic review, or invited review) should be uploaded to the system. In studies involving “animals,” the author(s) should state in the “Methods” section that they have protected the rights of the animals by the principles of “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” (http://www.nap.edu/catalog/5140.html) and obtained approval from the relevant Ethical Committees.
