Please submit your articles in accordance with these formatting rules and guidelines, which have been prepared to ensure stylistic consistency for our journal.

Manuscript Language

Articles and abstracts should be submitted in English. They should be evaluated by a language expert, and this should be indicated on the Presentation to the Editor page.

If the language expert is not one of the authors, their name must be included in the Acknowledgement section of the article.

A Statement That the Manuscript Is Not Published Elsewhere

Each author must declare that the submitted manuscript, either in full or in part, has not been previously published and is not currently under consideration for publication in either printed or digital form. This rule applies to all content, except abstracts of 400 words or fewer, and includes presentations, books, articles, and other forms of information dissemination, whether in print or electronic format.

Authors are required to obtain written consent from the original author and copyright holder for any quotations taken from previously published works. This consent should be documented within the manuscript and submitted along with it. If a study has been previously presented at a congress, conference, or as a poster presentation, this must be indicated on the title page, specifying the date, conference name, and location.

Assessment

Please review the journal’s guidelines carefully before submitting your manuscript. Articles that do not comply with the formatting requirements will be returned to the author without further review. Submitted manuscripts will be evaluated by two or more national or international reviewers who are experts in the field and not part of our editorial team. Articles are assessed based on their importance, originality, and scientific validity. After the peer review process, the manuscript will also be reviewed by the editorial board.

If necessary, the editorial board may correct spelling or grammar errors without altering the content. Additionally, the editorial board has the authority to request modifications to the content or format of the article or to ask that the article be shortened. If such changes are required, authors will be informed in writing. Articles will not be published until these revisions are completed. Once the manuscript has been submitted, no additions or deletions to the author list may be made without written consent from all authors.

Acceptance for Publication

If approved by the editorial board, submitted manuscripts will be scheduled for publication.

Upon request, unaccepted manuscripts and any attachments will be returned to the author.

Scientific Responsibility Statement

Style Guidelines

Authors should adhere to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/)

Follow ICMJE’s General Principles and Reporting Guidelines and meet the specific requirements for the following sections: title page, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, references, tables, figures, units of measurement, abbreviations, and symbols.

For consistency and style of the text, refer to the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style, 10th Edition or another internationally recognized style guideline.

These guidelines are essential to ensure the articles are presented in a clear and professional manner.

Formatting

Microsoft Word is preferred for manuscript submissions. Use a 12-point font in Times New Roman or Arial. The entire document should be double-spaced, with approximately 3 cm (1 inch) margins on all sides of the page.

Keywords

Following the abstract, include at least two keywords, separated by a semicolon (;). Keywords should be selected from the NLM’s MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) database: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/

 References

The number of references is limited according to the type of article: up to 25 references for research articles, 8 for case reports and surgical techniques, 85 for literature reviews, and 4 for letters to the editor.

References must be formatted according to either the National Library of Medicine (NLM) (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html) or the American Medical Association (AMA) style. If a citation generator is used, authors should carefully review the final formatting to ensure that punctuation and necessary elements are accurate and complete.
