Publication Policy and Ethical Principles

However, studies submitted as papers and whose abstracts or full texts are published are accepted provided that necessary updates are made. This should be acknowledged in the relevant parts of the manuscript.

The GPT-StudioS employs a double-blinded peer-review process which is managed by a member of the editorial team. This journal aims to provide the authors with timely concrete feedback for a non-delayed quality publication process. Therefore, the authors have been required to answer with the following method. When you revise your manuscript, please highlight the changes you make in the manuscript using the track changes mode in MS Word or by using bold or coloured text and upload the three files (with track changes; with all changes accepted and with the notes to the reviewers).

All paper submitted to the journal should be made via a professional management system of journal agent through which the GPT-StudioS has run. This means that all the process dealing with the paper’s publication stages will be undertaken over the online management system. Therefore, we would like all authors to communicate with the editorial team with the communication tools of the journal agent. In the administrative process, all submitted papers are to be checked for their complement to the journal’s publication and submission rules. Alongside the writing rules, the journal employs a crossref system to check the paper’s similarity with other published or unpublished materials with an integral system. The journal policy on the similarity is 20 per cent which is not to be exceeded.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal should comply with both research and publication ethical rules. For example, the recommendations of the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) should be considered when submitting research articles.
