ETHICS
Authors are responsible for complying with ethical guidelines. Investigations involving human subjects should conform to accepted ethical standards. Fully informed consent should be obtained and explicitly noted in the manuscript. For all manuscripts detailing experimental work involving human subjects, authors must specify that informed consent was obtained following a full explanation of the procedures undertaken. Patients should be referred to by number; real names or initials must not be used.
In experimental studies on animals, it must be stated that the study protocol was approved by the animal experiment ethics committee at the institution where the study was conducted. Authors must submit the ethics committee's approval alongside the article. If the article contains previously published text, tables, pictures, or other materials, authors must obtain written permission from the copyright holder and clearly indicate the source of the used material in the manuscript. During the manuscript evaluation process, authors may be requested to submit the research data and/or the ethics committee approval document if deemed necessary.
PLAGIARISM POLICY
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Health Science and Life are evaluated for plagiarism and similarity using detection software packages (e.g., iThenticate, Turnitin).
