Many large-scale collaborations are organized under the name of a representative group of all participants. All manuscripts must have at least one person named as the author. Authors who wish to thank the umbrella group that sourced the data should first list the author(s) of the article and continue it as 'NAME OF THE GROUP'. If necessary, the names of the participants can be listed in the Acknowledgments section.

Originality

Submitting your manuscript to the journal means that it is an original article and an unpublished work and is not being reviewed elsewhere. Plagiarism, in whole or in part, without proper attribution, including reproduction of the author's own work, is not tolerated by the journal. Article texts submitted to the journal are checked for originality using anti-plagiarism software.

When considering whether you should report a conflict of interest or affiliation, please consider the following conflict of interest test: Are there any post-published edits that you or any of your co-authors have not disclosed that would embarrass you?
If the article is published, the relevant Conflict of Interest information will be disclosed in a statement in a published statement.

Authors must disclose any interests in the statement of interest summary in the title page file. If there is no interest to declare, please state it as: 'Interest statements: None'. If the article is accepted, this summary statement will be published in the final.

Application Statement and Confirmation

• Only articles with a similarity rate of 20% or less are included in the review process.
• The above-mentioned rules are accepted by all authors who upload articles to the Journal.

Inclusive Language Use
Inclusive language means accepting diversity, respecting all people, being sensitive to differences and promoting equal opportunities. Articles should not make any assumptions about the beliefs or duties of any reader, should not contain anything that could imply that one individual is superior to another because of race, gender, culture or any other characteristic, and should consequently use inclusive language. The authors, for example, use the phrase “m/m /each'); In addition, professions and affiliations that do not contain prejudices and stereotypes regarding gender (Eng. 'chairperson' instead of 'chairman', 'flight attendant' instead of 'stewardess') should use expressions such as "scientist" instead of "scientist".

Changes to Authorship

Adding, removing or rearranging the names of authors in the list of authors should only be made before the article is accepted and only if approved by the Journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must have received from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in the list of authors (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree to be added, renamed or rearranged. In the case of adding or removing authors, this change includes the approval of the added or removed author. Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider adding, removing or rearranging authors after the manuscript has been accepted.
