The abstract must not contain any reference citations. The key words must be separated by semicolons and should not include acronyms.

The main text must not be longer than 3000 words for case reports and 3500 words for reviews and 7000 words for original articles.

*Authors should ensure that any studies involving human or animal subjects conform to national, local and institutional laws and requirements and confirm that approval has been sought and obtained where appropriate. Authors should obtain express permission from human subjects and respect their privacy. Unless the authors have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of the article and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and visual elements) must be removed before submission.

When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate, in methods section whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 2008, http://www.wma.net/ en/30publications/ 10policies/b3/17c.pdf. Manuscripts that report the results of experimental investigation with human subjects must include a statement that informed consent was obtained after the procedure(s) had been fully explained. In the case of children, authors are asked to include information about whether the child's assent was obtained in addition to that of the legal guardian.
When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guides for the care and use of laboratory animals were followed as in "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" (www.nap.edu/ catalog/5140.html). The authors must mention in the methods section of the manuscript that they had performed the study in accordance with above-mentioned rules and, in the case of humans, emphasize that they had received informed consent from the participants.

Manuscripts submitted to IKUJHS are only accepted on the comprehension that the recommendations of the most recent version of the Declaration of Helsinki, for humans, and the European Community guidelines as accepted principles for the use of experimental animals have been adhered to. The  IKUJHS will, therefore, only consider manuscripts that describe experiments which have been carried out under approval of an institutional or local ethics committee. Before the conclusion section, under a separate heading (Ethics), the authors should state that ethics committee approval has been obtained. Providing an ethical committee aproval is entirely the responsibility of the author. The journal accepts the author's statement as basis.

*All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively as they are referred to in the text. Tables should be inserted into the related sections, after their first mentioning in the text. Figures  should be given at the end of the text as a seperate page, after the references.

*While citing publications, preference should be given to the latest, most up-to-date publications. References should conform to Harvard style and be placed closest to the relevant section, with the author's surname and the year of the article/book in parentheses, in accordance with the examples below :
