The latest current spelling guide and dictionary of the Turkish Language Association should be taken as basis for Turkish spelling, punctuation and abbreviations.
Subheadings should be written in bold and aligned left. Only double quotes should be used for special emphasis; styles such as single quotes, bold, all capital letters, underline, italic text should be avoided. In writing foreign words or specific names and terms according to the necessity of the work, only italic letters should be used. If it is desired to provide the foreign language equivalent of a word used in Turkish to clarify it, this equivalent should be written in parentheses, in italic letters. In the text and in the References, the titles of published books, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, brochures, novels, plays and films in the "long work" category are written in italic letters. (Care should be taken to ensure that the punctuation marks adjacent to italic letters are not italic.) Unpublished voluminous works such as manuscripts and drafts, and individual titles of poems, stories, articles, book chapters, letters and speeches in the "short work" category are given in normal writing, in double quotation marks. (Double quotes and italic fonts are not used at the same time. If a “long work” title is also included in a “short work” title, such as an article given in double quotes, the long work title is written in italics.) Consistency should be observed in special uses not included here.

In-Text References
In articles sent to Kün, the MLA (Modern Language Association) 7th edition method, the rules of which are adapted to Turkish syntax and punctuation rules, is used. In the MLA method, when citing a source in the text, the author's surname (or authors' surnames) and the page number (or page numbers) from which the source is cited are specified. In cases where there is no author, the title of the work is written. In cases where there is no page number, the abbreviation "sy" (no page) is used. The first names of authors with the same surname are abbreviated in the text: e.g. (J. Parla 53); (T. Parla 124-25). When more than one source is used on the same subject, the following example is followed: (Burke 3-6; Dewey 21, 97). If a footnote or endnote in a source is referenced, a period is placed after the page number and the number of the note is added: e.g. (Moran 86.7). "Quotations of four lines or less are written within the paragraph within quotation marks; if the sentence ends with a quotation, a period is placed after the bracket indicating the source information at the end of the quotation; other punctuation marks are left as they are, and 'double quotation marks in the source text are converted to single quotation marks.'" (J. Parla 53).

Quotations longer than four lines are written in block paragraph form, aligned 2.5 cm (two tabs) from the left margin and 1.25 cm (one tab) from the right margin; punctuation marks are placed before the bracket indicating the source information; double quotes in the source text are not converted to single quotes. If the quote used is itself a quote, it is written as (quoted by Moran 94) before the punctuation mark ending the sentence at the end of the quote; at the end of block quotes, it is written as (quoted by Moran 94) after the punctuation mark. In quotations, “quoted by” is written in the same way. It is not necessary to give the citation information of the source that the quoter quotes (or the source that the quoter quotes).
When citing sources, the places where the reference starts and ends should be clearly stated. In this regard, it is recommended that the author or work name be mentioned in the sentence where the reference begins. When the author or work is mentioned in a sentence or as long as the same text is referenced, it is not necessary to repeat the author's surname or the name of the work in parentheses; it is sufficient to give the page number. However, if another reference is made, the reference to the previous author and work is repeated. Only the number of the relevant page (or pages) is given in the reference. If the quote or citation covers a page, a hyphen is placed between the page numbers, and if a reference is made to a statement or subject repeated on different pages, a comma is placed. Since there are generally no page numbers on websites, if expressions such as "as stated on the site titled ..." are used in the sentence, it will be clear to the reader why there is no page number after the author's surname.

Quotations from different pages or paragraphs of the source text should not be combined into a single quotation; quotations should be separated from each other by the author's words, page numbers and necessary punctuation. Ellipses and their variations should not be placed at the beginning or end of quotations.
In cases where changes are required to ensure that the quoted sentences match the sentences of the article author or in cases where intervention is required in the text, such as correcting spelling errors or adjusting the size of letters, square brackets ([ ]) are used. When a word is omitted from the quote, three dots ([…]) are used within the square brackets, and when a sentence is omitted, four dots ([….]) are used; punctuation marks before or after the square brackets are not used.

Footnotes should only be used for additional explanations. Abbreviations are used in footnotes, in the References, and in expressions within parentheses. Abbreviations should not be used in normal sentences, except for abbreviations for proper names and units of measurement.

References
In the “References” section, all sources used in the study are listed correctly and completely; sources not referred to in the text are not included.
Form and Language
The first line of each entry is kept adjacent to the left of the page, and the second and subsequent lines are written as much as the paragraph indentation (1.25 cm). When creating indents, the “hanging” format should be selected from the paragraph layout. (Since this order could not be created on the web page, it could not be shown in the examples here.)
In the imprints of non-Turkish sources, expressions indicating the editor, translator, volume and edition numbers, and in periodicals, the names of seasons or months are translated into Turkish. Care is taken to include the Turkish usage of city names (e.g. London).

Order
Resources are listed alphabetically according to the surnames of the authors. In authors with double surnames, both surnames are written in order, before the comma. If there is no author's name, the name of the work is taken as basis. If more than one work by an author is used, the sources are written in alphabetical order. When writing the imprints of works, the information given follows the following general order: (a) author's name, (b) title of the work section, (c) name of the work, (ç) name of the compiler, translator and editor, (d) number of editions, (e) number of volumes, (f) name of the series, (g) place of publication, name of the publisher, year of publication, (ğ) page numbers, (h) additional information and explanations. What is known from these information groups and what is required according to the type of work are given.

Page Numbers and Abbreviations
When specifying page numbers in the References, two-digit page numbers are written as they are. In the case of larger numbers, it is sufficient to specify the last two digits of the second number unless more is needed (e.g. 10-14; 106-09; 296-304; 1001-02; 1503-642). In cases where there is no page number, the abbreviation “sy” (no page) is used.

If a work has a compiler, translator, editor or editor, the following abbreviations are used in the citation: “der.”, “trans.”, “haz.” and “ed.” Abbreviations begin with uppercase or lowercase letters depending on whether they appear at the beginning or end of information groups separated by periods.

If the city where the work was published is not specified in the source, the abbreviation “Yyy” (no place of publication) is used in the citation where this information should be found. In the imprints, attention should be paid to the distinctions between “Publications”, “Publishing”, “Publishing House” and “Neşriyat” in the publisher’s name. If this information is not stated in the work, the abbreviation “yy” (no publisher) is used, and if the publication year is not stated, the abbreviation “ty” (no date) is used (e.g. “Yyy: yy, ty.”, “N.p.: n.p., n.d.”).

Different Works by the Same Author
According to the MLA method, when listing different works by the same author, after the author's name is given in the first citation, the following citations begin with two adjacent long dashes and a period. Since electronic databases do not perceive these signs correctly, our journal has adopted the method of repeating the author's name in each citation instead.
