Guide for Authors

Selcuk Medical Journal is a scientific, independent, peer-reviewed, open access publication of Necmettin Erbakan University. It is a disciplinary journal that appeals to a wide audience of medical doctors, researchers and scientists. The main objective is to ensure that current developments in the field of medicine / health, diagnosis and treatment, surgical innovations and studies that will contribute to the world of science are shared in national and international literature.

Selcuk Medical Journal publishes clinical and experimental studies, editorials, short reports, clinical case reports, technical and educational reviews, original image reports with the latest developments in the field of medicine, visual questions of disease identification and letters to the editor that contribute to medical science and academic studies. In addition, reader questions and contributions regarding previously published articles and experimental studies are published briefly.

All manuscripts, except for editorials, which are deemed appropriate for the journal submission rules and the scope of the journal, are sent to at least two reviewers who are experts in their fields for scientific evaluation. All published articles are subject to a double blind peer review process. For manuscripts whose suitability is discussed, associate editors add their own evaluations by taking into account the comments of the reviewers. The final decision for all submitted manuscripts belongs to the Editor-in-Chief. The editor and the editorial board aim to finalize the process for all manuscripts within three months. However, it may take longer due to unavoidable delays.
Manuscripts on some topics determined by the editorial board are submitted to the review of all members of the editorial board. As a result of the reviews, the processes of the studies that reach the majority of votes will continue in the journal. Editorial board decisions are published on the journal website.

All kinds of publication rights of the articles accepted for publication belong to the journal. This right is determined with the signature of all authors with a specially designed publication right transfer form. The journal is published in four issues each year in March, June, September and December. The publication language of the journal is English.
The submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published in any other place/journal and must not have been sent to another journal for publication [Oral presentations and posters (abstract or full text) presented at scientific congresses are excluded, provided that they are notified]. All kinds of responsibilities (ethical, scientific, legal, etc.) of the articles published in the journal belong to the authors. Statements or opinions expressed in the articles published in the journal are the views of the authors and do not reflect the views of the editors, editorial board and publisher; the editors, editorial board and publisher do not accept any responsibility or liability for such materials. It is at the discretion of the Editor and Editorial Board whether or not to review manuscripts that are not prepared in accordance with the spelling rules.

Ethics committee approval and documentation of this approval are required in all studies. In all studies, the level of contribution and approval of the authors to the study should be reported. It should be reported that there is no financial conflict of interest at any stage of the study, including data collection, experimental phase, writing and language editing. Commercial sponsorship, if any, should be reported. The plagiarism program (iThenticate) is used in Selcuk Medical Journal. Articles with similarities exceeding the academic citation limit and articles that are not prepared in accordance with the publication rules will not be reviewed.

The publication policy and processes of the journal follow the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), Council of Science Editors (CSE), European Association of Science Editors (EASE), Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and National Information Standards Organization (NISO). Our journal complies with the 'Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing' (doaj.org/bestpractice). The Editorial Board will act in accordance with COPE rules in the face of allegations and suspicions of plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification.

The Editorial Board of the journal processes appeals and complaints in accordance with the COPE guidelines. Authors may contact the Editor-in-Chief or the Editorial Board directly with their appeals and complaints. When needed, an impartial representative will be appointed for issues that the Editorial Board cannot resolve internally. The Editor-in-Chief will make the final decision in the decision-making process for objections and complaints. The publisher and editor are always ready to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary.

Authorship

All authors listed as authors on manuscripts submitted to the Selcuk Medical Journal must meet the authorship requirements recommended by ICMJE (www.icmje.org). ICMJE recommends that authors meet the following 4 conditions:
  • To contribute significantly to the conception/design of the study; or to the collection, analysis and interpretation of data for the study;
  • To draft the manuscript or critically review the content;
  • To review and approve the final version of the manuscript before publication;
  • To agree to take responsibility for all aspects of the work to ensure that questions about the validity and accuracy of any part of the work have been properly investigated and resolved.

Each person designated as an author must meet the four conditions for authorship, and each person who meets these four conditions must be identified as an author. All persons designated as authors must be eligible for authorship, and all eligible persons must be listed. Individuals who do not meet all four criteria should be acknowledged on the title page of the article. Receipt of funding, data collection or general oversight of the research group do not, in themselves, justify authorship. One or more authors should take responsibility for the integrity of the study as a whole, from study inception to the published article.

In multicenter studies, authorship is attributed to a group. All members of the group named as authors must fully meet the above criteria for authorship. Group members who do not meet these criteria should be listed in the acknowledgments along with their consent. Financial and material support must also be acknowledged.

All statements and opinions made in the articles reflect the views of the author(s). Authors submitting articles to the journal are deemed to have read these statements and accept the responsibility.

All content is the responsibility of the authors. All financial and legal responsibility for the copyrights of tables, figures and other visual materials protected by national and international laws belongs to the authors. Authors are responsible for any legal action taken against the journal related to their articles.

To clarify scientific contributions and responsibilities and any conflict of interest (COI) issues related to the manuscript, all sections of the Author Contribution Form must be completed by the corresponding author and the ICMJE Declaration of Potential Conflicts of Interest Form must be completed online by all authors. Both forms should be included in the manuscript at the time of the original submission.

Author names will be published as listed on the Copyright Transfer Form. To protect all parties involved, no changes in affiliation or name changes will be made at a later date.

Author contribution rates should be included in the title page as a percentage, including all authors. Author names should not be included in the article main file.

Requests for Author Change

Addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the author list can only be made before the manuscript is accepted and only if approved by the Editor of the journal.

If such a change is requested, the Editor will request from the responsible author (a) the reason for the change in the author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail) from all authors that they agree to the addition. Only in exceptional cases will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or reorganization of authors after the article has been accepted.

Article Writing

Authors of original research papers should address the topic in an original way and with an objective discussion. The paper should include sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly false statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Originality
The author must ensure that the article is original, has not been previously published elsewhere and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, in another language.

Using Original Sources and Citation
Authors should ensure that they are writing entirely original work and, if they have used the work or words of others, that it is properly cited. Privately obtained information, such as in conversations, correspondence or discussions with third parties, should not be used without the express written permission of the source.

Data Access and Preservation
Authors may be asked to provide research data supporting their articles for editorial review and/or to comply with the journal's open data requirements. Authors should be prepared to provide public access to such data, if possible, and to retain such data for a reasonable period after publication. The journal recommends uploading research data to TUBITAK's Aperta Portal.

Multiple and Simultaneous Submission

An author should not publish the same research article in more than one journal. It is unethical to submit the same article to more than one journal at the same time. An author should not submit a previously published article for consideration in another journal, except in the form of an abstract.

Publication of Studies Based on Surveys and Interviews
For research in all disciplines that require ethics committee approval, ethics committee approval must be obtained, this approval must be stated and documented in the article.  In researches requiring ethics committee approval, information about the approval (name of the committee, date and number) should be included in the method section, as well as on one of the first/last pages of the article; in case reports, information on the signing of the informed consent form should be included in the article.

Conflict of Interest

Any financial or other interest that may cause the person to be conflicted in his or her work, significantly impair his or her objectivity, or provide an unfair advantage in favor of any person or organization. All sources of financial support received during the conduct of the research and preparation of the manuscript and the role of sponsors in the study should be disclosed. If there is no source of funding, this should also be indicated. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include consultancies, salaries, grants. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest possible stage.

Error Notification
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her published work, he/she should notify the journal immediately. It is also the author's obligation to withdraw the manuscript or to cooperate in correcting it if deemed necessary by the editor. If the editor or publisher learns from a third party that a published paper contains an error, it is the author's obligation to cooperate with the editor, including informing the editor about the matter.

Image Integrity
It is not acceptable to enhance, darken, move, remove or add a specific feature in an image. Authors must adhere to the policy for graphic images implemented by the journal.

Requests for Correction and Withdrawal

The articles published by Selcuk Medical Journal are the final version. Therefore, requests for correction after publication are evaluated by the Editorial Board according to COPE guidelines.

Requests for withdrawal from publication must be made before the article is accepted and are subject to the approval of the Editorial Board. If a retraction request is made after acceptance of the manuscript and before publication, it should be sent to the editor-in-chief via e-mail with the justification. The justifications will be evaluated at the editorial board meeting and the final decision will be made and the author will be notified by e-mail. Retraction requests will not be considered for an article that has been submitted for publication. Author(s) who wish to withdraw their manuscript before publication are obliged to fill out the withdrawal form and send it to the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board via e-mail at [email protected], signed and scanned with the wet signature of each author. You can access the withdrawal form from the downloads page of our website (https://www.selcukmedj.org/tr-tr/indirmeler/). The Editorial Board will review the withdrawal notification and respond within 15 days.

Author names, affiliations, article titles, abstracts, keywords, any factual errors and typos in digital object identifiers (DOIs) can be corrected with an erratum.

Article Review Process

It is aimed to rapidly evaluate and publish the articles submitted to the journal. All articles are subject to a double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two impartial reviewers for content, originality, significance in the field, appropriateness of statistical analysis, and conclusions. In case of discrepancies between the reviewers, the manuscript may be sent to a third or fourth reviewer. The decisions of the reviewers will be evaluated by the associate editors and the evaluation results will be sent to the editor-in-chief. The final decision regarding the acceptance of submitted manuscripts rests with the editor-in-chief.

Comments and evaluations reported by the reviewers and evaluated as useful for the authors are sent to the authors. Instructions, objections and requests made by the referees must be strictly followed. The response file to the referee(s) should also be created as a Word document. In the revised version of the manuscript, the authors should clearly and concisely indicate in this file each step taken in accordance with the reviewers' requests. The author's annotations should be listed and numbered in the order of the reviewers' evaluation. They should also make the necessary changes in the manuscript and indicate them in the manuscript (by coloring), and the revised manuscript and the forms containing the responses to the referees' suggestions should be uploaded meticulously at https://www. selcukmedj.org.

Submission of Manuscript
Authors must upload the Transfer of Publication Rights Form to the system. All correspondence will be sent to the corresponding author. The corresponding author should be provided with an e-mail address for all other correspondence. Authors will be notified of the receipt of their manuscripts by the number given to them. The article number should be used in all correspondence.

Authors are advised that, following an initial evaluation by the editorial office, the manuscript may be returned due to its content in the best interest of the reader. This rapid rejection process allows the author to publish the article elsewhere.
