Important Note:
EXTENDED SUMMARY
Our journal has decided to publish all articles with an Extended Summary starting from 2025. The Extended Summary is a method that will facilitate the international readability and citation of articles. The Extended Summary will be requested in English for Turkish articles and in Turkish for English and Arabic articles.
The Extended Summary will be requested when articles are first submitted to our journal. The Extended Summary should be included after the abstract and keywords, before the main text of the article.
As the Extended Abstract will address the study's problem, purpose, method, and results in greater detail than a traditional abstract, and will be in English for Turkish articles, it will also pave the way for articles to receive international citations. For articles submitted to our journal in English, a Turkish Extended Abstract will be requested. The Extended Abstract should preferably be between 500 and 700 words in length and should clearly state the purpose, problem, method, findings, and conclusions of the study under subheadings.
Studies to be submitted to ATAD Journal should be prepared in the following format.
Your article must be uploaded to the site in Word format using this template. Articles submitted without adapting to the template and not complying with the writing rules will be rejected outright. Excluding the bibliography, the article should be a minimum of 4000 words and a maximum of 8000 words.
