Article Submission and Writing Guidelines

Submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the Pre-Evaluation Committee. If deemed appropriate, they are included in the peer-review process. Manuscripts not complying with the submission rules may be returned to the corresponding author for revision, formatted by the editor, or rejected directly.

Review Process:

• The editor or chief editor assigns two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field (double-blind review system). Therefore, author-identifying information should be provided on a separate cover page.

Articles written in English may be translated into Turkish by the journal after acceptance. However, native Turkish-speaking authors must prepare the Turkish Title, Turkish Abstract, and Turkish Extended Abstract themselves.

• Plagiarism reports (iThenticate, Turnitin, etc.) excluding references and methods section should be below 20% and uploaded to the system.
