The name of the author and the year of publication should be indicated in parentheses when cited at the end of the sentence. Example: ... reported (Barham, 2005).
If a reference is made to a particular section, page of a resource, or to a certain shape, table or equation in that resource, the number of the item in question is indicated in the citation. While page information is given with the abbreviation p., no abbreviation for the others. Examples: (Doğan, 2018, p. 42), (Doğan, 2015, Section 2) (Doğan, 2012, Table 1)…
Citations to single author works include the author’s surname and date information. It should not include suffixes such as Jr. Example: ... (Doğan, 2018).
If a reference with two authors is cited in the text, the last name of the two authors is indicated each time. Examples: … by Brownell and Horgen (2009); ... (Brownell and Horgen, 2009).
When citing to publications with three, four and five authors, the surnames of all authors are given only in the first citation in the text. For other citations, the expression of others (et al) should be added next to the surname of the first author. Examples:
First citation (El Hafid, Blade, Hoyano, 2002)
Second or next citations (El Hafid et. al.,2004)
If the number of authors is six or more, only the surname of the first author and the expression of others (et al) should be added also in the first citation (Colombo et al., 2015).
If different publications by the same author will be given in the same parenthesis, the year order is followed from the past to the present, and the author’s last name is written once at the beginning of the citation. Example: ... (Doğan, 2000, 2004).
In case of publications by the same author(s) in the same year, each should be marked in lowercase letters, starting with the letter “a”. Examples: … (Barham, 2009a; Barham, 2009b).
If there are two different authors in the bibliography whose surnames and the first letters of their names are the same, the authors’ names must be given in square brackets in the tag (Example: Doğan, G. [Gözde]. (1996). ...; Doğan, G. [Güleda]. (2010). ...), citation should be made to the names and surnames of the authors. Example: (Gözde Doğan, 1996), …(Güleda Doğan, 2010).
In case of citation to more than one reference, it should be arranged first in alphabetical order and then chronological order, a semicolon should be placed between them. Examples: ... reported (Barham, 2005; Barham, 2006; Brownell & Horgen, 2009; Doyle et al., 2015; Nielsen & Engberg, 2006).

Secondary references can only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as the original (primary) source has been removed from printing, is not available from known sources, and its original language is not Turkish or English. Citations to the secondary source should be as shown in the example below. Examples: ….…. (Ress from Goffman, 2009); In Goffman’s study (cited in Ress, 2009) …. The secondary resource (ie. Ress, 2009) is included in the reference list with all the imprint information, the primary resource (ie. Goffman) does not.

Information based on personal conversations via e-mail, telephone, face-to-face or in other formats are shown in the text, but they are not written in the bibliography. For example: Aslı Baysal said …………………… (Aslı Baysal, personal conversations, 22 May 2019).

If a group / legal person (such as associations, companies, government agencies and other working groups) is mentioned as the author, the name information regarding this group should be given in a clear and understandable way in the text. If the group name is long, the abbreviation is clear to everyone, or there is an already known abbreviation for the name, both the open form and the abbreviation form can be used in the first use, and only the abbreviation can be used in the subsequent uses. Example:
The first citation (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey [TUBİTAK], 2013),
the second and subsequent citations (TUBİTAK, 2013).
If the group name is short or its abbreviation is not understandable to everyone, the name is written clearly in all citations.
