Example:
Vatan Karakaya (2021) states with regard to mathematical objects:
It has been accepted by most of the philosophers of mathematics that mathematical objects are abstract beings and closed to the five senses. However, although mathematical knowledge is closed to the senses as being an abstract entity, it is nevertheless so effective in the sensible world. (p. 14).
The citations less than 40 words are provided in quotes. Following the surname of author, publication date of the work should be given within parenthesis and page number should be placed within parenthesis at the end of the citation.

I enrolled in 2007 at the Yıldız Technical University Faculty of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, where I graduated in 2011. During my undergraduate studies, I attended the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Dusseldorf and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kiel University of Applied Sciences as a visiting student. I earned my master's degree in the same department in 2013. In August 2019, I completed my doctoral dissertation, titled "Performance and Size Moving Systems: Constructal Law," the same year I started it. Between January 2017 and April 2018, I was a visiting researcher at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS) at Duke University. After working as an R&D engineer at Istanbul Metro from 2011 to 2012, I began work as a research assistant at the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at Yildiz Technical University. Since June 2020, I have worked as an assistant professor in the same department. Between August 2021 and August 2022, I was a visiting professor at Duke University. I am an associate professor since November 2023.
