1. The page size of the Ege Journal of Social Sciences is A4. Articles to be sent to the journal must be prepared as MS Word documents in A4 size. A margin of 3.5 cm from the top, 4 cm from the bottom, 3 cm from the left and 2 cm from the right should be left on the page.


2. The title of the article should be given in Turkish and English (or another foreign language) as seen in our article template.
• Then, there should be an abstract in Turkish and English (or another foreign language). The abstract should be in a format that includes short summaries of each of the main sections of the article such as introduction, method, findings, evaluation, conclusion, discussion and recommendations; it should allow the reader to understand the content of the article and determine its relationship with their own areas of interest. The abstract in the original language of the article should be at least 150 and at most 250 words. Footnotes, tables, photographs, etc. should not be used in these sections, and no references should be made to the article pages.

• The "Abstract" in the foreign language of the article should be longer than the "Abstract" in the original language of the article: This section should be at least 300 and at most 500 words.

• The "Abstract" should be constructed with concise expressions regarding the justification, findings, and results of the article. The main points of the introduction, findings (catalog), discussion/evaluation, and conclusion sections of the article should be reflected in the "Abstract". The weight should be more in favor of the findings and the results. If possible, copy-pasting should not be done from within the article, and it should be written originally.

• There should be five keywords immediately below the "Abstract" and "Abstract" sections. The keywords should not be very general expressions/concepts such as "Turkey", "art", "statistics" and should not consist of long phrases.

3. The footnotes to be given to the author's name(s) should include the author's title, institution information, ORCID ID number and e-mail address.

4. All parts of the text should be in Times New Roman font. Main headings should be 12.5 pt, all uppercase and centered; author's name should be 10.5 pt and right-aligned; Abstract headings and texts and keywords should be 10.5 pt; body (main) texts of the text should be 11 pt and justified; first level subheadings should be 11.5 pt, bold and left-aligned, second level subheadings should be 11 pt, bold and left-aligned. In paragraph settings, paragraph spacing should be "after 6 pt" and line spacing should be "single line spacing". Footnote texts should be 9.5 pt and justified. Authors should not send files with different layouts created with various manual methods.

5. When preparing a text, line indents, paragraph transitions, etc. should never be done by pressing the tab key many times and/or pressing the space button for many and long times! Enter should be used to create paragraph entries and line spacing, and the "indentation settings" of the Word program should be used to create line indents.

6. Footnotes should have automatic and consistent numbering added with the "add footnote" feature in the "references" section of MS Word; they should be given at the bottom of the page and should not be arranged as "endnotes". (Times New Roman and 9.5 pt.)

7. If the article is based on a paper previously presented at a symposium or congress, these issues and the name, location and date of the symposium/congress should be stated with a footnote to be attached to the article title, provided that it has not been published as a full text. Similarly; if the article is a research supported by an institution or the product of a project, the name of the supporting institution and the project number should be stated. If the study is a study produced from a doctoral or master's thesis, this should also be stated by writing the advisor and thesis title information.

8. If the article content includes texts written in an alphabet other than the Latin alphabet, for example, if a special font supporting Cyrillic, Arabic, Greek letters is used, it is important to specify the font in question to the editor and, if possible, to attach the font file to the submission.

9. "REFERENCES" should be included at the end of the article text. The methods and formats of references to be made to sources in the article and the writing formats in the References are shown in the "EgeSBD article template" file.
• The preferred citation style in our journal is APA 6. The methods and formats should be given in the "EgeSBD article template" file; references should be given in parentheses within the text. When multiple references are given in parentheses, a semicolon [;] should be placed between consecutive references.

10. In the references section, care should be taken to ensure that sources that are not mentioned in the article are not listed and that the sources given are actually evaluated in the article.

11. Direct quotes from a source (all directly quoted expressions, sentences, paragraphs) must be written in quotation marks.
