The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and agreed to submit it for publication. Authors are expected to carefully review the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and to provide the exact author list at the time of original submission. The editor will only consider additions, deletions or rearrangements of authors after the manuscript has been submitted in exceptional cases. All authors must agree to any such additions, deletions or rearrangements. Authors take joint responsibility for the work.

Author Change Requests
Addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the author list can only be made before the article is accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor.
If such a change is requested, the Editor requests from the corresponding author (a) the reason for the change in the author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail) from all authors stating that they agree to the inclusion. Only in exceptional cases will the editor consider additions, deletions or rearrangements of authors after the manuscript has been accepted.

Article Writing
Those who write original research articles should address the topic in an original way and with an objective discussion. The paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly false statements constitute unethical conduct and are unacceptable.

Originality
The author must provide assurance that the article is original, has not been published elsewhere before, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere in another language.

Our journal recommends uploading research data to TUBITAK's Aperta Portal.

Multiple and Simultaneous Broadcast

If there is no funding source, this should also be stated. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include consultancies, salaries, grants.
