Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts should not exceed 20 double-spaced typed

(references are to be limited to 30 for original articles, 10
for case reports and 5 for letters to the editor). Authors are
also advised to keep a copy of their papers for reference.
As it is the responsibility of all authors to agree on the

must be signed by each author.
The Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences regrets it will

Submitted to Biomedical Journals, as reported at

Preparation of Manuscript
Papers must be written in English. Authors whose mother
tongue is not English should have their papers checked for
linguistic accuracy by a native English speaker.
Use double spacing throughout. Begin each of the following
sections on a separate page: title page, abstract and key
words, text, acknowledgements, references, tables, and
captions. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the
title page.
The text of observational and experimental articles should
be divided into sections with the headings Introduction,
Methods, Results, and Discussion. Long articles may need
subheadings within some sections (especially the Results
and Discussion sections) to clarify their content. Case
reports should also have the title page, abstract and key
words, introduction, case report and discussion. Other
types of articles, such as reviews and editorials, are likely to
require their own relevant main headings.
Title Page
The title page should contain the following: 1) the title of
the article, which should be concise but informative, 2) a
short running title of no more than 60 characters (including
spaces), 3) full names (first, middle and last names) of each
author with highest academic degrees, 4) name of
department(s) and institution(s) where the work was
carried out, 5) disclaimer(s), if any, 6) the full postal and email
address of the author responsible for correspondence
regarding the manuscript, 7) the source(s) of support in
the form of grants, equipment, drugs etc. or all of these.
Abstract
An informative abstract of not more than 200 words both
in Turkish and English must accompany each manuscript,
although articles from abroad written in English are not
obliged to have Turkish abstracts or key words. The
abstract must be structured and include data on the
problem (background), materials and methods, results and
conclusion. Only approved abbreviations should be used. It
should emphasise the new and important observations or
aspects of the study. Abstracts of the review articles should
be a brief overview of the main points from the review.
Key Words
Up to 6 key words should be provided that might be used
by researchers searching bibliographic databases for the
paper. Always try to use terms from the Medical Subjects
Headings list from Index Medicus.

The correct position of each table and figure must be clearly
indicated in the paper.
All tables and figures must have a caption and/or legend and
be numbered (e.g., Table 1, Figure 1) unless there is only
one table or figure, in which case it should be labelled
"Table" or "Figure". Captions must be written in sentence
case (e.g., Macroscopic appearance of the tumoral mass.)
All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively and
given at the end of the manuscript.
The resolution of images should not be less than 118
pixels/cm when width is set to 16 cm.
Images must be scanned at 1200 dpi resolution and

Graphs and diagrams drawn in a program other than MS
Word should be pasted in a blank MS Word page and
submitted separately. When figures are transferred into MS
Word, they should not be converted into or exported as
image file formats (jpeg, tiff, epd, pdf, etc.), but simply
pasted as an editable object.
Charts must be prepared in 2 dimensions unless required by
the data used. Charts unnecessarily drawn in 3 dimensions
are not accepted.
Tables and figures, including caption, title, column heads,
and footnotes, must not exceed 16 × 20 cm and should be

Submissions received without signed copyright forms
cannot be sent out for review.
The use of someone else’s ideas or words in their
original form or slightly changed without a proper
citation is considered plagiarism and will not be
tolerated. Even if a citation is given, if quotation marks
(“ ”) are not placed around words taken directly from
another author’s work, the author is still guilty of
plagiarism.
The ethical aspects of articles are the responsibility of the
writers. If the editorial board deems it necessary, the
admitted articles will be reviewed by the ethical advisors of
the journal. Submission of an article implies acceptance of
this.
