ETHICS COMMITTEE APPROVAL
Our journal requires that the relevant ethics committee decision must be obtained for all studies in all disciplines that require ethics committee approval. In this context, authors should write the date and number of Ethics Committee approval in the “Sampling and Methods/ Materials and Methods” section. In case presentations, the information that the informed consent form has been obtained must be included in the article.
In line with the regulations implemented by Ulakbim TR Index since 2020, studies that do not have ethics committee permission are not evaluated in our journal.

Studies Requiring Ethics Committee Approval
In our journal, researches that require ethics committee permission include the following studies:
• All research conducted with qualitative or quantitative approaches that involve collecting data from participants through methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations, experiments and interview techniques,
• Studies in which humans and animals (including materials or data) are used for experimental or other scientific purposes,
• Clinical trials conducted on humans,
• Scientific research on animals,
• Retrospective studies within the framework of the Personal Data Protection Law.
In order for such studies to be included in the evaluation, the relevant ethics committee permissions must be obtained and these permissions must be clearly stated in the text of the article.

NOTE: Scientific research on humans and animals must be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and ARRIVE guidelines and approval must be obtained from the relevant ethics committee. Studies without ethics committee approval are not evaluated in our journal.

NOTE: For publications that have been previously presented at a scientific meeting, published abstract-abstract, or produced from a thesis, the author must indicate this in the note to the editor section while uploading it to the system. The journal cannot be held responsible for any deficiency in this regard. In addition, it is not considered appropriate to translate the studies that have been previously presented anywhere and published as full-text papers into articles and send them for publication in our journal. Such a study will be rejected even if the refereeing process is completed.

NOTE: Articles that do not comply with the spelling rules will be rejected by the editorial office.

EXAMPLE OF IN-TEXT REFERENCES:
Many studies have also shown that body fat percentage and distribution reduce the activity of respiratory muscles (Khani, 2012; Mailo, 2003) and lead to a general decline in the dynamic compliance of the lungs, which has a significant effect on respiratory function (McArdle, 2010). Parallel to this information, Oke et al., (2015) found a positive correlation between forced inspiratory volume (FIV) and weight, height, body fat percentage (% BF) and fat mass per weight (FMWt) values in boxers, as well as between FEV1 and height. As a result, they stated that in male amateur boxers, there was a significant relationship between body composition parameters and inspiratory capacity (Oke et al., 2015).

ABSTRACT WRITING TECHNIQUE:
Abstract: Autonomous motivation, explained by Self Determination Theory, includes intrinsic motivation and more self-determined forms of extrinsic motivation. The relevant literature suggests that social environments could affect the autonomous motivation of athletes. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between perceived autonomy support from the coach and athletes’ autonomous motivation by meta-analytic approach.
