In accordance with the official letter No. 3329/D/700, dated October 31, 2015, issued by the Deputy for Research and Technology at the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, all manuscripts submitted to scientific-research journals must include a valid ethics code approved by the relevant research ethics committee.
          Accordingly, authors are required to provide the ethics code at the time of manuscript submission. Please be aware that the review process—from initial assessment to final acceptance and publication—cannot proceed without the submission of this code.

          It should be noted, however, that in certain cases, the Editor-in-Chief may exempt a manuscript from this requirement based on the nature of the study or other justified considerations.
