2. Article Writing Rules

Care should be taken to present the manuscripts in the following format:

Title: It should be a title that is compatible with the content and best expresses it, and should be written in 11 pt. in bold letters in the centre, indent left and right 0, spacing 12 and then 12 line spacing at least, value 14. Proper names should be written in lower case except for the first word.

Author name(s) and address: Information such as the author's name, title, institution, and e-mail address should not be included under the title of the article. Since author names can be seen by the system administrator, this information will be added to the manuscript by the editor. When the manuscripts are added to the system, it should be ensured that no information belonging to the author is included in the manuscript. This is important in terms of allowing the referees who will review the article to move more easily.

Abstract: At the beginning of the article, there should be an abstract in Turkish and English, which briefly and concisely expresses the subject and consists of at least 200 and at most 250 words. Whichever language the article is written in, the abstract in that language comes first. Keywords, consisting of at least 3 and at most 5 words, should be given with one line space under the abstract. Abstract text should be written in Georgia normal 9; general justified left and right; indent left and right 1 cm; spacing first 12 then 12, line spacing minimum, value 14; Abstract title should be written in Georgia normal 10 bold; general centre; indent left and right 1 cm; spacing first 12 then 12, line spacing minimum, value 14.

Main text: A4 size (29.7×21 cm.), Word program, Georgia font, 10 pt., general right justified, indent left and right 0, spacing 12, then 12, line spacing minimum, value 14.

Except for the abstract and bibliography page, the main text should not be less than 5 pages and should not exceed 30 pages. Paragraphs should not be started in the text of the article.

Footnote: All information in the footnote should be written with Georgia normal 8; general right justified; indent hanging 1 cm; spacing 0 then 0, line spacing single.

Section headings: In the article, main, intermediate and subheadings can be used in order to provide an organised transfer of information, and the headings can be numbered if necessary; however, automatic numbering should not be done. The first letter of the section headings should be capitalised and the others should be lowercase.

Tables and figures: Tables should be numbered and titled. Tables should be placed where they should be in the text. Figures should be prepared for colour printing. Table specifications are auto-fit; table texts should be written with Georgia normal 9, general right justified left, indent left and right 0, spacing 6 then 6 line spacing single. Figure numbers and names should be written centrally just below the figure.

Images: High resolution, print quality scanned images should be given in their place in the text. The rules for naming pictures should follow the rules for figures and tables.

Quotations: Quotation, verse and references: The following citation, verse and reference standards must be followed in the articles to be submitted to our journal. Works that do not comply with these rules will be returned to the author for correction. Quotations and verses exceeding a few sentences in the text should be written in Georgia normal 9; general right justified left; indentation left and right 1 cm; spacing 6 then 6 line spacing single.

Bibliography: At the end of the text, under the title Bibliography, the referenced sources should be listed by surname.
