Article Text
8. The main headings should be in Times New Roman 11 font size 1.15 line spacing. Text content should be Times New Roman 10 font size and 1.15 line spacing. In subheadings, the initial letter of each word should be capitalized.
9. The paper should discuss the status of the study, outlining only the basic background and should not include findings or conclusions. The paper should not be a review of the subject area, but should end with a clear statement of the problem addressed. Abbreviations should first be defined in parentheses and then used as abbreviations.
10. Authors should use this template when preparing an article for submission to Bozok Journal of Engineering and Architecture. The article should be written in Microsoft Word. The text in the relevant sections of the template can be changed by typing or copying and pasting, and the styles given in the template can be used. There should be 1 line space between paragraphs.
11. For studies submitted for publication in the journal and prepared in Turkish, the order should be as follows: Turkish Title, Turkish Abstract, Keywords, English Title, English Abstract, English Keywords, and then Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, References and Appendices. The spelling guide and spelling rules of the Turkish Language Association (TDK) should be taken into consideration and Turkish equivalents should be preferred as much as possible instead of foreign words. Nevertheless, when words that are unfamiliar in Turkish are used for the first time in the text, their foreign-language equivalents should be given in parentheses. Jargon-free, short and concise Turkish should be used. Repetitive long sentences and the use of passive voice should be avoided. It is recommended to run the text through computer spelling and grammar programs. All manuscripts should be checked for compliance with the instructions for authors. Manuscripts that do not comply with the guidelines will not be sent to the referees for evaluation.
12. For manuscripts submitted for publication in the journal and prepared in English, the sequence should consist of Title, Abstract, Keywords followed by Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, References and Supplementary materials. British English rules should be taken into consideration for articles prepared in English.
13. Extensive quotations and discussions from published literature should be avoided. Research articles should not be longer than 15 pages and should have a limit of 40 references.
Section Titles
14. Research articles should be divided into the sections listed below. The main sections should be numbered sequentially (1. Introduction, 2. Materials and Methods, etc.), and subsections should be numbered 1.1., 1.2., etc. Titles of more than three degrees should be avoided. "References" section should not be numbered.
Symbols, Units and Abbreviations
15. If symbols such as ×, µ, η, ν are used, they should be inserted using Word's Icon menu. Microsoft Word equation should be used to write mathematical equations and formulas. Equations should not be in the form of pictures.
16. Use degree symbols (°) from the Symbol menu, not the superscript letter o or the number 0. Multiplication symbols (×) should be used, not the letter x. Space should be placed between numbers and units (e.g. 3 km) and between numbers and mathematical symbols (+, -, ×, =, <, >), but not between numbers and percentage symbols (e.g. 45%). Please use SI units.
In-text Citation
17. The reference list should include only works cited in the text and published or accepted for publication. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be included in the reference list. References should be numbered in square brackets in the text in the form of [1]. Do not use separate sets of brackets for citation numbers that appear together, e.g. [2,3,5-9] instead of [2], [3], [5]-[9]. All references cited in the article should be included in the bibliography list at the end and all references in the bibliography list should be cited in the article. It is recommended to use reference management programs (Mendeley, Zotero, Endnote, Refworks, etc.) for citation numbering.

Author Names
18. Author names should be in 10-point font and addresses in 9-point font. There should be no line spacing between author names and addresses.
Footnotes
19. Footnotes should be avoided as much as possible, but if very necessary, they should be placed at the bottom of the page and separated by a line.
Tables and Figures
20. First, simple findings can be presented directly in the text without the need for tables or figures. All illustrations (photographs, drawings, graphs, etc.), except tables, should be labeled "Figure". All tables and figures should have a title and/or description and be numbered (e.g. Table 1, Figure 2); in the case of a single table or figure, the table or figure should be labeled "Table" or "Figure". Captions should be written in sentences (e.g. Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm). The font used in figures should be Times New Roman. If symbols such as ×, μ, η or ν are used, they should be inserted using Word's Symbol menu. All tables and figures should be numbered consecutively as they are cited in the text. Tables and Figures should be placed next to the relevant text.
21. The resolution of the images should not be less than 118 pixels/cm when the width is set to 16 cm. Images should be scanned at 1200 dpi resolution and should be in jpeg or tiff formats. Graphs and diagrams should be drawn with a line thickness between 0.5 and 1 point. Graphs and diagrams with a line thickness of less than 0.5 point or more than 1 point are not accepted. Scanned or photocopied graphs and diagrams are not acceptable. Figure style is given below.
22. Figures that are graphs, diagrams or drawings must be submitted in an editable format, so that graphics staff can modify them. Also all tables must be presented as editable text, not as images, excel or pdf. They should not be pasted as image files (tiff, jpeg or eps) unless they are photographs. Tables and figures, including the title, column headings and footnotes, should not exceed 16 × 20 cm and should not be less than 8 cm wide. For all tables, please use Microsoft Word's Table feature.
Acknowledgement
23. Authors should indicate the technical assistance, source of special materials, financial support. The names of the funding organizations should be written in full.

Author Contributions
24. The contributions of all authors in the study should be clearly indicated.

References
25. Do not include personal communications, unpublished data, websites or other unpublished material as references, even if such material is included in the text (in parentheses). If the author of a reference is an institution or organization, use its name in the reference list (using an abbreviation in the citation if appropriate); do not use "Anonymous". In case of publications in languages other than English, the published English title, if any, should be given with a description such as "(Turkish article, with English abstract)". References should be listed in order of first occurrence in the text. All authors should be included in the reference lists unless there are 4 or more, in which case only the first 3 should be given, followed by 'et al.'. Check carefully to make sure that the spelling of author names and years are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. References should be formatted according to the IEEE standard as follows (please note punctuation and capitalization): It is recommended to use reference management programs (Mendeley, zotero, endnote, refworks, etc.) to create bibliographies.
