Up to seven relevant keywords in Turkish and English describing the topic must be provided.
The author must indicate their academic title, the institution they work for, and their email address (in parentheses and italicized) along with their ORCID number by placing a corresponding footnote in the section of their name and surname found on the first page of the article.

The main headings relevant to the topic in the article should be numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc., while subheadings should be numbered as 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, etc.
Maps or images intended to be added to the article should be included in the Word (.doc, .docx) document, and numbered separately, and should also be sent separately from the article.
Graphs should be prepared in Microsoft Office Excel (.xls) or Word (.doc, .docx) documents and should be incorporated into the document appropriately.
Citing Footnotes
Our journal uses the latest version of the Chicago footnote and bibliography style.
When citing a source for the first time, the author's full name should be written.
The title of the source work should be written in italics.
The publisher, place of publication, year, and page number of the source work should be provided.
Footnotes should be presented in Times New Roman font size 9.
Shortened Footnotes (for citations following the first reference)
Subsequent citations of the same source after the first reference are presented in a shortened form in the footnote. The abbreviation should remind the reader of the full title or direct them to the appropriate entry in the bibliography. The form of the abbreviation may vary depending on whether there are other sources interjected:
Example:
1 Şerafettin Turan, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, (Ankara: Bilgi Yayınevi, 2004), 123. (Footnote presentation of the first citation.)
2 Turan, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, 132.
3 Turan, 225.
4 Şevket Süreyya Aydemir, Suyu Arayan Adam (Istanbul: Remzi Kitabevi, 2024), 27.
5 Turan, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, 152.
Italics and Quotation Marks
Whether in the text or the bibliography, books, journals, plays, and other singular sources (standalone sources) are written in italics. An article, book chapter, or section within a novel is shown in quotation marks.
Example:
In class, we read A Separate Peace (book title). The article titled “Your Brain on Drugs” in Time magazine was very impressive.
The expression “in the magazine” has not been italicized because it is not part of the publication's title.
His article titled “Death by Dessert” was published in The New York Times Magazine.
In this example, both “The” and “Magazine” are italicized because they are parts of the publication's name.
Block Quotes
Quotations exceeding 100 words are written as block quotes. Even if the quotation does not exceed 100 words, block quote format is applied when quoting two or more paragraphs.
Also, information presented in list format or text that has a specific arrangement, such as poetry, should also be shown as a block quote. Quotation marks are not used in block quotes. A block quote always starts on a new line. A blank line should be left before and after the block quote. The entire block should be indented 1.5 cm from both the left and right sides. The text of a block quote must be single-spaced and in 11 point font. Since the text of the block quote is distinct from the main text due to formatting, it does not need to be italicized.
