The Ethical Rules within the scope of TR Index have been detailed since 2020, and assuming that permissions have been obtained for "studies requiring ethics committee permission" in the field of research, the issue of "including information about the permission in the article" has been added to the criteria of journals within the scope of TR Index.

Detailed information on the subject is given below:


QUESTION 1: Is ethics committee permission required for all articles?

No, ethics committee approval is not. In the criteria, it is stated as articles that "require Ethics Committee Permission".
The researches that require Ethics Committee permission are as follows.


(1) All kinds of research conducted with qualitative or quantitative approaches that require data collection from participants using survey, interview, focus group study, observation, experiment, interview techniques,
(2) The use of humans and animals (including materials/data) for experimental or other scientific purposes,

(3) Clinical trials on humans,

Also;

(8) Indication of compliance with copyright regulations for the intellectual and artistic works used

QUESTION 2: Should retrospective Ethics Committee Permission be obtained for publications produced from studies and theses completed in previous years?

Before 2020, retrospective ethics committee permission is not required for articles that used research data, produced from master's / doctoral studies (must be specified in the article), applied for publication to the journal in the previous year, accepted but not yet published.


QUESTION 3: Are these rules of TR Index restricting publications outside universities?
No, it is not. Non-university researchers can also apply to the Ethics Committees in their regions.

 

Authors who will produce publications that fall within this scope and submit them to History Studies must both upload this permission or informed consent form to the system during the application and indicate it in the articles.

The following is an example of how to indicate this practice in the article and this information should be included at the end of the article before the bibliography.
