Dear Reviewer of the Journal of İnönü University Vocational School of Health Services,

Before evaluating the article at hand and providing your recommendations to the Editor, please read the "Writing Guidelines" of our journal.

As part of your evaluation, you are required to state your opinions regarding the article on the PEER REVIEW FORM. This form consists of the "Evaluation Criteria" and "Decision" sections.

Additionally, in accordance with ULAKBİM TR INDEX criteria, apart from the Peer Review Form you received, your evaluation should include comments and suggestions that demonstrate scientific review, such as notes on the article (peer reviewer notes, scientific evaluation comments on the Peer Review Form, etc.), along with figure examination. These must be submitted to us, as this form will be forwarded to the authors. In this form, you are free to express your thoughts on the article, its strengths and weaknesses, areas that need improvement, etc. If you wish, you can directly share the corrections you made on the text (preferably in Track Changes mode) as a file, which will be sent to the authors.

If you believe that the article should not be published, you must explain the reasons for your decision.

The information you are requested to fill out in the Peer Review Form will be communicated to the author as part of our double-blind peer review policy (peer reviewer information is not shared with the author, and correspondence between the reviewer and editor is also kept confidential).

Only points you wish the Editor to see should be entered in the system's direct-message area.

In the "Evaluation for the Article" section, you are expected to select one of the following options: Accept, Reject, Minor Revision, or Major Revision. After recommending Minor or Major Revision, the article will be sent back to the author. The revised version will be submitted to you for further evaluation.

If you have any questions regarding the evaluation process, please contact the Journal Office (inueditorial@inonu.edu.tr).
