Example wording for your Conflicts of Interest declaration is as follows: “Conflicts of Interest: Author A is employed at company B. Author C owns shares in company D, is on the Board of company E and is a member of organisation F. Author G has received grants from company H.” If no Conflicts of Interest exist, your declaration should state “Conflicts of Interest: None”.
Funding Statement

Where no specific funding has been provided for research, you should include the following statement: “Funding Statement: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency, commercial or not-for-profit sectors.”
Authorship
The SSHS follows the recommendations of the ICMJE, as such a contributing author should be considered to have;
a) made a substantial contribution to the conception and design of the study; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data in the work;
b) made a substantial contribution to the drafting of the manuscript and/or critical revision for important intellectual content;
c) provided final approval of the submitted manuscript, and;
d) agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Authors are responsible for determining authorship and as such SSHS will not enter authorship related discussions or arbitrate authorship disputes. All authors should collectively determine who is to be an author or acknowledged contributor. This authorship list must be finalised before submission of the manuscript to SSHS. There is no limit to the number of authors a manuscript may have as long as the above requirements are met in all cases.Individuals who meet some but not all of the criteria described above can be acknowledged as contributors at the end of the manuscript with their contribution specified.
References
References should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). All references cited in the text should also exist in the reference list (and vice versa). The reference list should be organized alphabetically by considering the authors’ surname. References in the text should be written according to the author-year concept and arranged for years (Yilmaz, 2010; Engelen et al., 2018; Rowland & Kuper, 2018). References from the same year but with different authors should be arranged alphabetically (Engelen et al., 2018; Rowland & Kuper, 2018). More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication. Web references are recommended to be limited. Authors should not be cited unpublished results and personal communications unless it is necessary. Footnotes should be avoided. If necessary, they may be given shortly at the end of the page where their positions are indicated by asterisk in the text by separating a horizontal straight line. Examples;

OTHER NOTES
Abbreviations and symbols
Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided in the article, if essential; they should be defined in their first mention (e.g., live weight gain (LWG). Using of International System of Units (SI) are preferred.
Units
SI (The International System of Units) should be used in all manuscripts. Use point (.) as a decimal mark (for example 1.25 instead of 1,25). The use of slash (/) should be avoided in units and leave a space between units (e.g. m s-1 instead of m/s, J s-1 instead of J/s, kg m s-2 instead of kg m/s2). Also leave a space between numbers and symbols (e.g. 4 kg N ha-1, 3 kg m-1 s -2, 20 N m, 1000 s-1, 100 kPa, 22 °C and 29 %), except for the symbols of degree, minute and second (°, ′ and ″). They should be used after numbers (10°, 45', 60" etc.). Abbreviation for liter should be “L” instead of “l”. Symbols must not end with full stop unless they are at the end of sentence (kg instead of kg.).
Equations
All equations should be numbered, and the numbers of equations should be placed in right side of the equation as right aligned and written in the brackets. To write an equation in Word program, math processor should be used, and the main characters in 10 pt, variables in italics and math characters in regular styles should appear in the article. Equations should be numbered consecutively in the text (.... related model is given in Equation 1), if they cited in the text.
