The Editorial Board follows the recommendations of International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for dealing with scientific misconduct, such as falsification of data, plagiarism, improprieties of authorship, violation of generally accepted research practices and redundant publication and duplicate publication.

Originality, high scientific quality and citation potential are the most important criteria for a manuscript to be accepted for publication. Manuscripts submitted for evaluation should not have been previously presented or already published in an electronic or printed medium. Manuscripts that have been presented in a meeting should be submitted with detailed information on the organization, including the name, date, and location of the organization.

An approval of research protocols by the Ethics Committee in accordance with international agreements World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki (https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinki-ethical-principles-for-medical-research-involving-human-subjects/) is required for experimental, clinical, and drug studies and for some case reports. For all studies involving human subjects, informed consent must be obtained from participants and this should be stated in the manuscript.

All manuscripts are screened by iThenticate to prevent plagiarism.

If required, ethics committee reports or an equivalent official document will be requested from the authors.

If there is any concern or dispute over the studies, we will follow the flowcharts of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to solve them. https://doi.org/10.24318/cope.2019.2.26
