Full-Text Requirements

• Since International Dental Research is an international journal indexed in ULAKBIM TR Dizin, full-text submissions are subject to rigorous scientific quality criteria in accordance with its editorial policy.
• Some key requirements include:
  • Academic native-speaker English editing of full-text papers by a professional, certified company
  • Proofreading
  • Plagiarism / similarity index check via iThenticate (must not exceed 20%)
  • Typesetting, formatting, and galley proof preparation for accepted articles
  • Copyediting and layout editing

  • Following abstract acceptance, oral presentations must be conducted. After the congress, full-text manuscripts will be uploaded to the respective journal system for peer review.
