Many systematic reviews and meta-analysis do not include gray literature sources and studies published in languages other than English. Their inclusion increases accuracy and can reduce systematic errors. It is very important to include gray literature in the screening of sources while conducting scientific studies, in order to obtain evidence-based results. The Acta Medica Alanya journal includes gray literature, in particular in its compilation and editorial writings, and supports citing articles from our country, including those written in Turkish, in its research articles.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTıbbi İnformatikEditorial10.30565/medalanya.70758442111112471671
