1.1 Language of Publication

The journal accepts articles in English and Turkish. Whatever the language of the main text, every article must include:

• Title in English and Turkish
• Abstract in English and Turkish (150–200 words each)
• Keywords in English and Turkish (3–6 in each language)

The main text is written in one language. In Turkish-language articles, table and figure captions and notes are given in Turkish; in English-language articles, in English. References follow APA 7 in both cases and are given in their original language.

1.2 Article Type and Length

The journal publishes letters only. A letter must have the following features:

• A single, clearly defined research question
• A clear theoretical or empirical contribution
• Concise and accurate positioning within the literature
• A transparent and reproducible methodology
• Direct and clear presentation of findings

Submissions that exceed these limits may be returned without peer review.

1.3 Article Structure

The article must contain the following sections in this order:

1. Title (English and Turkish)
2. Abstract / Öz (English and Turkish)
3. Keywords / Anahtar Kelimeler (3–6 in each language)
4. JEL Classification Codes
5. Introduction
6. Data and Method (or Theoretical Framework)
7. Findings
8. Conclusion
9. References
10. Appendix (if any)

The introduction must state the research gap and the contribution of the study clearly. Long and detailed literature reviews should be avoided; the literature is cited only to position the study.

1.4 Submission Files

Authors must upload the following two files separately.

(A) Anonymised Manuscript File

This file must not contain:

• Author names
• Institutional affiliations
• Acknowledgements
• Funding information
• Any statement that could reveal author identity (self-citations such as "in our earlier study…" must be written in the third person)
• Author names in the file metadata

(B) Title Page (Separate File)

• ORCID numbers (required for all authors)
• Corresponding author details and contact address

1.5 Formatting Rules

• Times New Roman, 12 point
• 1.5 line spacing
• Justified text
• Page numbers and line numbers must be included
• Headings must be numbered, with a maximum of two levels (1., 1.1.)

The caption appears above the table or figure, and the source and explanatory notes appear below. Tables must be supplied as editable text, not pasted as images. Standard errors, number of observations, and significance levels must be reported in tables.

Equations. Equations are numbered and right-aligned. Variables are defined where they first appear.

Numbers and units. A period is used as the decimal separator. Currencies are given with ISO codes (TRY, USD, EUR).
