This study, the Turkish version of the STROBE-VET was made to strengthen the reporting of observational studies in the veterinary fieldand making the usage of the STROBE-VET better understood by the researchers. Firstly, STROBE-VET expression translated into Turkishby 4 authors (TB, FG, ÖK, MAT) each from the other and afterwards four translated versions have been combined with consensus by experttranslator. The final version of criteria was translated into English by another expert translator using reverse translation method and found to bequiet similar between translated of Turkish control list and the original control list. Secondly, in order to assess the Turkish control list whetherit is understood correctly by the researchers, 20 studies in the field of veterinary sciences have been evaluated by two veterinarians (DÖ andMBC). The correspondence between the responses of the researchers was examined using Cohen's Kappa statistic ( ) and the percentage ofcompliance between researchers for each criterion. In addition, it was assessed using the Bland-Altman Method and the Intraclass CorrelationCoefficient (ICC) using the total number of reported criteria. According to results, criteria has a great variation in the frequency of reportingin the studies. The Turkish version of STROBE-VET will be a guide for the referees and editors of journals as well as researchers studying inthe field of veterinary science.
