We have been aware of this responsibility starting from the establishment stage and we have carried out our work with this spirit. I would like to thank all my teammates for their dedication and effort during the publication process of our magazine. In addition, I would like to thank our authors who did not leave us alone in our first issue, who added strength to our journal with their articles, and our referees who took time for us during their busy work schedule and contributed greatly with their evaluations. We are happy to meet our readers with our first issue, by sticking to the promises we made at the establishment of the magazine and the publishing principles we set. I believe that our journal, which started its publication life with its first issue, will reach much better points in time in line with the decisions we made on the way and will create an important value representing our faculty. Hope to see you again in the December issue…”
We would like to thank our authors who contributed with their articles to our journal, which includes four research articles, three review articles and a book review, our scientific advisory board members who acted as referees for the articles, and the whole journal team who helped bring the journal to life.
