The articles submitted to the journal must be organized according to the journal template; the similarity rate of the version excluding references and abstract must be 20% or less. Before the evaluation, the similarity rate obtained from a plagiarism detection program (Turnitin or iThenticate), copyright form, ethics committee permission, the first page of the article with ORCID and contact information, and the full text article to be sent to the referees without this information must be uploaded to the system. If the work is produced from a thesis or project, if it has been presented in any scientific activity before, if there is a person, institution or organization supporting it, it must be given as a footnote on the first page. The articles uploaded to the system with the necessary documents and information are evaluated by two blind referees; all responsibilities related to the articles belong to the authors. The journal does not accept any responsibility for ethical and scientific issues arising from the articles. The author(s) also acknowledge that the submitted article has not been published anywhere else. Manuscripts in Turkish and English can be submitted to the journal.
