In case reports, it is necessary to include information that the informed consent/consent form was signed in the article. In studies that require ethics committee permission, information about the permission (name of the committee, date and number) should be included in the method section and also on the first/last page of the article. However, in the material and method section, the statement "Declaration that the study was carried out in accordance with the international declaration, guideline, etc." should be included.

It is a general principle that the articles that are not considered sufficient should be developed in line with the recommendations of the referees.

Manuscripts that do not reach the intended level, studies that are not considered scientifically sufficient are rejected by the editor without explaining the reason.

 

JOURNAL MANAGEMENT: Journal management and editors will take the necessary steps to prevent the publication of articles that are found to be abusive on the above-mentioned issues for the authors. In no event should the journal or its editors encourage or allow such abuse to occur. If the publisher or editor of the journal is notified of any alleged research misconduct, the publisher or editor will deal with the allegations appropriately.
