Dear Researchers

In line with TR Index decisions, articles proposed for publication as of 2020 must obtain ethics committee approval and submit this documented. Accordingly, authors who will propose articles to our journal for publication are required to submit the ethics committee approval form for studies requiring ethics committee approval and indicate it in the text.

Studies requiring Ethics Committee Approval are presented below.

When uploading an article to the Journal of Current Tourism Research, you must upload your Ethics Committee Certificate along with your article file. If your study is not included in the study group that requires ethics committee approval, you must sign the declaration form stating this situation and indicate the relevant situation in your article text.
