If a source is cited directly, then the page number must be included.

The works of the same author or the same group of authors should be separated with the letters a, b, c in the same year.

Example; (Ulu andve Torun, 2018a, 2018b)

When referring more than one citation in the same parenthesis, the order should be alphabetical (not chronological!) and separated by semicolons according to the surname of the first author.

(Akdoğan, 2018; Bilgili ve Koçak, 2014; Güllü, 2015;)
