Numerical data between 1-10 in the text should be indicated in writing, 10 and above should be indicated with numbers. However, numbers at the beginning of sentences should be written in writing. Spelling rules must be followed.

Commas (,) should be placed between the numbers in the findings, tables, English and Turkish abstracts and throughout the text.

The corresponding author must submit the ETHICS COMMITTEE CONSENT CERTIFICATE with the research study, the Ethical Declaration Form with other studies such as reviews, the document showing the SIMILARITY REPORT (maximum 20% taken from iThenticate) and the Copyright Transfer Form together with the article via the SYSTEM.

The manuscript should be prepared in the order of cover page, abstracts and keywords, main text of the article, references, tables and figures or graphics, with each section starting from a separate page. Research articles, review articles and systematic reviews should not exceed 11 pages and 5000 words (excluding figures, tables, references) in accordance with the spelling rules. Case reports should not exceed 4 pages and 2000 words excluding figures, tables, photographs/schematics (permission must be obtained) and references.

In order to establish a standard terminology in keywords and to enable researchers to access articles easily, scientific articles should contain keywords in appropriate number, appropriate quality and standard terminology. Turkish Scientific Terms is a keyword directory containing the Turkish equivalents of MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms. When keywords are selected from Turkey Science Terms, both the conformity of the keyword to MeSH terms and the standardisation of its Turkish equivalents are ensured. http://www.bilimterimleri.com

Main Text of the Article: Research articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses should consist of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations sections. In classical reviews, Introduction, Conclusion and Recommendations sections should be included, and other headings should be determined by the authors according to the structure of the review. Case report should include Introduction, Case Presentation, Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations sections.

Introduction: This is the section in which the research problem is presented, previous studies related to this problem are summarised and the current importance of the research and the purpose of the research are stated. The author(s) should first present what is known about the subject by presenting a good literature review. Then, the author(s) should prove what is not known, i.e. the gap in the literature to be filled and the need for the current study. Subsequently, by explaining why and how the current research will fill the gap in knowledge, the purpose of the research and the research question(s) for descriptive research, hypotheses for experimental research should be given. In a classic review, the introduction should include the rationale for writing the review and the purpose of the review should be written in the last paragraph. In case presentation, the introduction should explain why the case is important and unique and the purpose of the case presentation.

Materials and Method: In this section, the type and design of the research, place and time, population and sample, inclusion-exclusion criteria, data collection tools, data collection process, ethical responsibilities, data analysis should be explained in detail. The subheadings used in this section should not be in bold.

Findings: In this section, the data collected and the results of the analysis of this data are presented. The main findings of the research or statistical data that should be emphasised should be presented in tables or figures/graphs. All data in tables and figures/graphs should not be given in the text, only important points should be emphasised. The same data should not be repeated in figures/graphics and tables. Commas (,) should be placed between the numbers given.

Discussion: Interpretation of the findings and emphasising the results are done in the discussion section. The discussion section should start with a sentence about the main findings of the study. Similarities or contrasts between the findings of the study and the findings of the literature should be explained. New and important aspects of the study and the conclusions drawn from them should be emphasised.

It should be discussed what kind of theoretical and practical implications can be drawn from the findings of the study and how similar studies can be done better by improving them. At the end of the discussion, the limitations (factors that the researchers encountered due to reasons beyond their control, factors that may affect the results of the research) and strengths of the research should be explained.

Conclusion and Recommendations: The conclusions reached according to the research findings should be stated and the contribution to the literature, practice and/or society should also be explained. Necessary recommendations should be made based on the findings. Authors should especially avoid comments and recommendations about general benefits that do not include the data they have obtained.

References: At the end of the article, there should be a bibliography arranged alphabetically according to the surnames of the authors and organised in accordance with APA 7.0 style.
