Ethical Principles

In accordance with Article 8 of the 2020 TR Index criteria regarding ethical rules, "Ethics Committee Permission" must be obtained for articles to be sent to be published in Creative Drama Magazine. "In studies requiring ethics committee permission, information regarding the permission that the necessary permissions have been obtained (committee name, decision date and document number) should be included on the first page of the article and also in the method section." Accordingly, in articles to be published in our journal, it must be stated whether ethics committee permission and/or legal/special permission is required. Additionally, in the method section; It should be stated that permission was obtained from the owners for the use of scales, surveys and photographs belonging to others, and in case reports (qualitative interviews, observations, etc.), information should be given that the informed consent/consent form was signed and a statement that the research and publication ethics of the study was complied with.


Studies requiring ethics committee permission are as follows:
• All kinds of research conducted with qualitative or quantitative approaches that require collecting data from participants using surveys, interviews, focus group studies, observation experiments and interview techniques,
• Use of humans and animals (including materials/data) for experimental or other scientific purposes,
• Clinical studies conducted on humans,
• Research conducted on animals,
• Retrospective studies in accordance with the personal data protection law.


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