Types of Articles

• Brief Reports, commentaries, case reports and mini-reviews must not exceed 4000 words in overall length. This limit includes all aspects of the manuscript (title page, abstract, text, references, tables, author notes and footnotes, appendices, figure captions) except figures. Brief Reports also may include a maximum of two figures. For Brief Reports, the length limits are exact and must be strictly followed.
• Regular Articles typically should not exceed 6000 words in overall length (excluding figures).
• Reviews are published within regular issues of the JNBS. Reviews typically should not exceed 10000 words (excluding figures)

Cover Letters

All cover letters must contain the following:

• a statement that the material is original — if findings from the dataset have been previously published or are in other submitted articles, please include the following information:
  • Is the present study a new analysis of previously analyzed data? If yes, please describe differences in analytic approach.
  • Are some of the data used in the present study being analyzed for the first time? If yes, please identify data (constructs) that were not included in previously published or submitted manuscripts.
  • Are there published or submitted papers from this data set that address related questions? If yes, please provide the citations, and describe the degree of overlap and the unique contributions of your submitted manuscript.
• the full postal and email address of the corresponding author;
• the complete telephone and fax numbers of the same;

Manuscript Preparation

Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition).

Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.

Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual.

Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations and tables.

Display Equations

We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.

To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:

• Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
• Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.

If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.

Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.

Tables

Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.

Abstract and Keywords

All manuscripts must include an english abstract containing a maximum of 250 words typed on a separate page. After the abstract, please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases. For the turkish native speakers JNBS also requires aturkish version of the abstract and keywords. However this rule does not appy to non-native speakers and our translation office will include the turkish abstract free of charge.

References

List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text (Name.Year style) , and each text citation should be listed in the References section.

In-text citations

•   For two or fewer authors, list all author names (e.g. Brown & Tas, 2013). For three or more authors, abbreviate with ‘first author’ et al. (e.g.  Uzbay et al., 2005).
• Multiple references to the same item should be separated with a semicolon (;) and ordered chronologically.    References by the same author in the same year should be differentiated by letters (Smith, 2001a; Smith, 2001b).
• Cite articles that have been accepted for publication as 'in press', include in the reference list.
• Cite unpublished work, work in preparation, or work under review as 'unpublished data' using the author's initials and surname in the text only; do not include in the reference section

Figures

Graphics files (at least 300 dpi) are welcome if supplied as Tiff, EPS, or PowerPoint files. Multipanel figures (i.e., figures with parts labeled a, b, c, d, etc.) should be assembled into one file.

The minimum line weight for line art is 0.5 point for optimal printing.

Ethical Principles

Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with the Declaration of Helsinki Research Ethics in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.

About Keywords

The authors have to list at least three, but no more than six keywords below the abstract. Preferably use terms from the ‘Medical Subject Headings’ (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html) list from Index Medicus. If the manuscript is written in Turkish, it is recommended to select the keywords from ‘Türkiye Bilim Terimleri’ (http://www.bilimterimleri.com).
