In the ethical duties and responsibilities adopted by our journal, the "Directive on Scientific Research and Publication Ethics of Higher Education Institutions" and the principles published by the "Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)" are taken into consideration. For detailed information on this subject: https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Flowcharts

In the articles to be submitted to our journal, it should be stated in the article whether ethics committee permission and/or legal/special permission is required. If it is necessary to obtain these permissions, it should be clearly presented from which institution, on which date and with which decision or number number the permission was obtained.
The types of research that require ethics committee approval are listed below:
- Use of humans and animals (including materials/data) for experimental or other scientific purposes,
- Clinical trials in humans,
- Research on animals,
- Retrospective studies in accordance with the law on the protection of personal data.
Also
- Stating that the "Informed Consent Form" has been obtained in case presentations,
- Obtaining and indicating permission from the owners for the use of scales, questionnaires, photographs belonging to others,
- It should be stated that copyright regulations are complied with for the intellectual and artistic works used.

If the study requires the use of human and animal subjects, it should be declared that the study was carried out in accordance with international declarations, guidelines, etc.
(Retrospective ethics committee permission is not required for articles that used research data before 2020, produced from master's/doctoral studies (must be specified in the article), applied for publication to the journal in the previous year, accepted but not yet published).
