Dear Readers,

Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, Obesity and Diabetes Application and Research Center, presents the August 2024 issue of “Turkish Journal of Diabetes and Obesity” (Volume 8, Issue 2) to you in physical and electronic formats.
Our journal continues to publish with the same quality with the publishing ethics principles updated by TUBITAK ULAKBİM TR Index, increasing number of publications and citations. Increasing citations to the publications in our journal by our authors, researchers and scientists further increase the quality of our journal and its place in the scientific world.
We are sharing an innovation in publishing with you in this issue of our journal. With the decision we have made, graphical summaries of the articles will also be published together.
Journals are increasingly requesting the submission of a “graphical” or “visual abstract” alongside the body of the article. A graphical abstract should allow readers to quickly gain an understanding of the main take-home message of the paper and is intended to encourage browsing, promote interdisciplinary scholarship, and help readers identify more quickly which papers are most relevant to their research interests. This is a single, concise, pictorial and visual summary of the main findings of the article. It could either be the concluding figure from the article or better still a figure that is specially designed for the purpose, which captures the content of the article for readers at a single glance (Writing rules / Graphical Abstract, https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/tudod/page/16811).
