Introduction
The body text must include Introduction and Conclusion sections.
In order to achieve certain academic standards and integrity in the studies to be published in our journal, we expect the texts to be organized by following the steps below. This organization should be applied separately in the ABSTRACT and ABSTRACT sections as well as in the whole articles.
1. Presenting the general picture of the study or the background of the problem;
2. A clear statement of the problem/purpose;
3. Studies on the subject existing in the literature;
4. What is the gap in the literature and how will your study contribute to filling this gap and solving the problem?
5. Details of the path to be followed in doing this;
6. Conclusions and recommendations.
Step 1: This part, which will constitute the sentence or paragraph that is the beginning of the article, is the part where the general picture of the problem to be addressed is introduced to the reader. While this step is limited to a sentence when writing the abstract, it can be extended to a paragraph when writing the introduction. While over-extending this section may overshadow the focus of the article, the use of short but effective statements is an important start to convince the reader of the importance of the topic.
Step 2: Clearly articulate what the problem to be addressed is and why it is important to address it. In other words, a SPECIFIC PROBLEM within the overall picture presented in the previous step and why it is important to solve this problem. Again, similar to the previous step, this step should be limited to one sentence in writing short texts such as the Abstract.
Step 3: A summary of how the problem has been addressed in the literature.
3.1. Has this problem been addressed directly?
3.2. What are the most influential studies and the most recent studies in the field and what do they say?

3.4. Questions should be answered and this LITERATURE should be cited as appropriate.
Step 4:

4.4. This is the part where you convince the reader of the ORIGINALITY and importance of your work.

In this section, the theories, methods, materials and methods to be used to reach the targeted result should be explained in detail step by step and examples should be presented. In other words, in the body of the article, the theoretical basis of the article should be examined in detail under one heading, which methods and materials will be used. (Then, if necessary and important for the subject, information about the historical background of the subject can be given under a new heading). After this, new headings should be opened and examples of the application of the theory and method to the materials at hand should be presented. At least two examples should be presented.
