method section and on the first/last page of the manuscript.
Within this
context, any manuscript submitted to IJPES as a possible publication by
February 21, 2020 onwards;
1. “Ethics
Committee Approval” is required in all studies conducted with qualitative or
quantitative approaches that require data collection from participants using
survey, interview, focus group study, observation, experiment, and interview
techniques.
2. Independent
researchers can obtain an "Ethics Committee Approval Document" by
applying to the ethics committees of the Higher Education institutions in their
province before the data collection process of their studies.
3. For the studies
that do not require ethics committee approval, researchers should submit
the 'Ethics Committee Approval is not Required' document
to be obtained from the Ethics Committee of their institution.
4. Any manuscript produced from the thesis, project, etc. it is sufficient to
submit the "Ethics Committee Approval Document" previously received.
5. The permission
obtained from the institutions where the research was conducted (i.e. Ministry
of National Education, Local Education Authorities, Education Faculties) does
not replace "Ethics Committee Approval".
