MATERIALS AND METHODS
All materials, experiments conducted, their extent, conditions and course should be described in detail in this section. All original procedures used for processing experimental material and all analytical methods used for evaluation should also be detailed. Data verifying the quality of acquired data should be indicated for the used methods. Methods of statistical processing, including the software used should also be listed in this section. Mathematical formulas should be written using the Equation tool. Company names should not be included in commercial materials such as equipment, chemicals, and varieties used.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
It should be a single section as "Results and Discussion" or if necessary, can be split into separate "Results" and "Discussion" sections. Discussion should be logical and results must be discussed in the light of previous literature justifying your findings.
CITATIONS
Citations of relevant published work in the text, from Introduction to Discussion, including tables and figures, should read Demir & Yuce (1987) or (Demir & Yuce, 1987). When a paper cited has three or more authors, use the style Chung et al. (1989) or (Chung et al., 1989). Use (Park, 1983a) and (Park, 1983b) when citing more than one paper by the same author(s) published in the same year.
