Writing and Publication Principles

In order for the manuscripts submitted to the journal to be accepted for review, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

  1. The texts submitted to the journal should be written in Microsoft Word programme, Times New Roman font, 12 pt and one and a half line spacing. Journal authors must include ORCID information in the manuscript. The type of article (Research Article, Review, Case Report) should be specified.
  2. The title should be written in capital letters and bold and should not exceed 12 words. All other headings in the text should be numbered and the title(s), if any, should be written in bold and only the first letters should be capitalised.
  3. Studies should be based on the Turkish Language Institution's Spelling Guide and Turkish words should be preferred as much as possible instead of foreign words.
  4. Texts should not exceed 20 pages with references (in special cases, the Editorial Board may decide to increase the number of pages).
  5. Author name(s) should be given right justified under the title of the article. Information about the authors (institution, correspondence address, e-mail) should be given at the bottom of the page as footnotes.
  6. The main text should be preceded by a 150-200 word ‘Abstract’ in Turkish and ‘Abstract’ in English. In the abstract, the scope and purpose of the research should be stated, the method used should be defined and the results obtained should be briefly included. Immediately below the abstract, there should be at least four and at most six keywords. Keywords, except for proper names, should be written in lower case. Abstract, abstract and keywords should be written in 10 pt.
  7. Tables, figures, pictures, graphs, maps, etc. should have a number and title. These materials should not exceed 10 x 17 cm in order not to exceed the page dimensions of the journal, and they should be written in 10 font size and single spaced. Pictures, graphics and the like should be saved as a separate file and in jpeg format for print quality.
  8. The use of footnotes in the text should be avoided; endnotes should be preferred instead.
  9. In the writing of foreign words, only italic letters (italics) should be used. If it is desired to give the foreign language equivalent of a Turkish word in order to clarify it, this equivalent should be written in italics in brackets.
  10.  Sections in research articles should be as follows: ‘Introduction’, “Objective”, “Method”, “Results”, “Discussion and Conclusion-Recommendations”, “References”.
    For review and commentary articles, the ‘Introduction’ section, in which the importance of the study is stated and the problematic and purpose are concretised, should be followed by other sections and the study should be titled as ‘Discussion and Conclusion’, ‘End Notes’, ‘References’.

  11.  

     The introduction section at the beginning of the study should be stated as ‘1. Introduction’. In the submitted studies, all sections and sub-sections in which the problematic is described and the importance of the study is stated should be numbered. In this arrangement, the sections should be numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively, while the subsections and their subsections should be numbered as 1.1., 1.2., 2.1., 2.2., and 1.1.1, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.2.

Organising References

  1. Citation and referencing in the text
  2. APA 6 standard will be used in reference citations. All references in the main text are indicated by in-text citation system. The surname of the author(s), the date of publication and the page numbers quoted are indicated by opening parentheses in the appropriate place in the text. When referring to the same sources again in the text, the same method is applied; abbreviations such as age., agm. should not be used. Example: (Köprülü, 2003: 10-12). If the name of the cited author is mentioned in the text, there is no need to repeat the author's name in brackets. Example: Köprülü (2003: 10-12)........................
  3. The author of the article should not confuse the thoughts of others with his/her own thoughts when switching between summary, quotation and quoted sentences. The source of quotations, quotations and summaries made from a source should be clearly stated in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Direct quotations should be enclosed in double quotation marks. If the quotation method is preferred instead of direct quotation, the author of the article should rephrase what he/she has quoted in his/her own words. If he/she is going to use the expressions in the source verbatim, he/she should show this in the form of a direct quotation and within double quotation marks. In direct quotations, information about the source of the quotation should be indicated in parentheses immediately after the end of the quotation. In quotations, the source information should be indicated immediately after the end of the sentence and before the punctuation mark that ends the sentence in accordance with the in-text citation methods.
  4. If the quotation/quote used is itself a quotation or a paraphrase, the author of the quotation/quote should be indicated at the end of the quotation before the punctuation mark at the end of the sentence. Example: (As cited in: Güzel, 2011: 34).
  5. Care should be taken about the citation/quotation ratio in articles. Quotations from the same source or from different sources should not be presented one after the other, and long sections based solely on quotations (or citations) should be avoided.
  6. If the cited source has two authors, the surnames of both authors should be used (Çetin & Gürgil, 2014: 7). If there are more than two authors, the phrase ‘et al.’ should be used after the surname of the first author. Example: (Oğuz et al., 2006: 15).
  7. If there is more than one reference, the references should be separated by semicolons. Example: (Köprülü, 2003: 10; Sezer, 2010: 14; Güzel, 2011: 50).
  8. For oral sources, the abbreviation ‘KK’ meaning ‘Source Person’ should be used, if there is more than one oral source, they should be numbered, and when this source is referred to in the text, it should be indicated in parentheses as (KK-1) or (KK-2). The ‘Bibliography’ should be divided into two as ‘Oral Sources’ and ‘Written Sources’ and information about the source persons should be given under the heading ‘Oral Sources’. Example: KK-1: Name, surname, age, education level, profession, date and place of interview.
  9. Organisation of references at the end of the text

REFERENCES

All sources used and cited during the study (except classical texts and personal interviews) are added to the Bibliography. Works not cited in the study are not included in the Bibliography.

- Cite the last edition of the work.

- If available, include the page numbers of the article and the volume number of the issue in which it appears.

- If the DOI number is available, add it at the end of the reference.

You can create the bibliography in two ways.

  1. A) Automatically Inserting References in Microsoft Word

1) Before starting to write the article in Microsoft Word, go to the ‘Manage Sources’ and ‘Style’ section from the ‘References’ tab. Select ‘APA Sixth Edition’ from the style.

2) Click on ‘Manage Sources’, in the tab that opens, click on ‘New’ and add the sources used in the article one by one.

Or

While writing the article in Word, after each citation, click on ‘Add Citation’ in the ‘References’ tab and select ‘Add New Source’. In the tab that opens, the information of the source used is entered and saved. In this way, the sources are entered into the system as they are used. 

3) After the manuscript is finished, click on ‘References’ => ‘Add Bibliography’ from ‘References’ and the cited references will be added to the end of the document in the appropriate style.

  1. B) Adding Sources Manually

References are listed alphabetically according to the surnames of the authors. If there is no author name, the title of the work is taken as basis. If more than one work of an author is used, the references are written in chronological order. If more than one work of an author published in the same year is used, they are listed as ‘2009a’, ‘2009b’ according to the alphabetical order of the work titles.


  1. In the references, only the references cited in the article should be included and alphabetical order should be followed according to the surname of the author.
  2. If more than one work of the same author is to be included in the bibliography, these works are listed in order from old to new according to the date of publication. The author's name and surname are not repeated; instead, two long dashes and a full stop are placed side by side (as -.).
