Tables and figures should be prepared according to our journal's page dimensions, not A4 or similar page formats. If necessary, the font size should be reduced to at least 8 point.
Figures in image format should be of sufficiently high resolution (or dpi value) to avoid reading difficulties, but low enough not to increase the file size beyond 2 MB.
Submissions should be uploaded in two files:
1. Header file: Article title, author(s)' titles, full names and institutions, contact details, ORCID numbers.
2. Full text file:
2.1. Article title
2.2. Abstract in Turkish and English (100-300 words), Keywords (3-5 items). JEL Classification Code (3-5 items).
2.3. Main article text
2.4. References
2.5. Extended Summary for Turkish articles
2.6. Appendices
Citations: In our journal, which adopts the APA 6 citation style, citations should be given in parentheses in the text with the author's surname, year of publication, and page number after the (:) sign. For example: (Taşdelen, 2001: 42). Attention should be paid to punctuation and alphabetical order in citations. If the source cited has more than two authors, the surname of the first author should be given, followed by ‘et al.’ for the others. Example: (Altunışık et al., 2001). However, in the bibliography section, all authors' surnames and initials should be listed.
Sources:
All sources referenced in the text are listed at the end of the article under the heading ‘Bibliography’. Sources in the Bibliography are arranged in alphabetical order based on the author's (or editor's) surname, the surname of the first author if there are multiple authors, or the initial letter of the name of the institution (e.g., Central Bank) or periodical (e.g., Business Week) if the source belongs to an institution or periodical. If reference is made to more than one publication by an author or group of authors, these sources are listed in order based on their publication date (earlier publication years come first). If these sources were published in the same year, they are listed with letters such as a, b, c added to the publication year.
