3. CITATION AND REFERENCES
3.1. IN-TEXT QUOTATION (APA)
• The American Psychological Association (APA) style can be used in the citation system and bibliography of the articles sent to the journal. For detailed information, the page https://apastyle.apa.org/ should be examined.
• When quoting in-text, APA's author-date citation system should be used; Author surnames and year of publication as in the bibliography should be written.
Example:
Logic refers to both a way of thinking and a branch of science. Therefore, there is a strong connection between logical thinking and logic (Öner, 1986).

• If a specific page is cited or related ideas are taken from a specific section, the source should be written with its page.

Example:
Contrary to metaphysics, such as science, positive philosophy, positive scholars, who are content with events, that is, with the data of experiment without asking questions about the first causes and the re-creation of things. (Korlaelçi, 2014: 4).

• More than one source should be cited in alphabetical order and separated by semicolons while in parentheses.

Example:
(Arslan, 1995; Russell, 1945; Ural, 2018; Ülken, 1956).

• In the text, more than one work of an author with the same date should be indicated as follows.

Example: (Türer, 2021a) (Türer, 2021b)

• If the number of authors is two, both names should be written in each use. In studies with two authors, “and” is used among the author names, while “&” and “and” can be used in English texts.

Example:
(Aslan and Steel, 1988: 14)
(Harman & Thomson, 1996: 160)

• If the number of authors is three or more, only the first name and others are abbreviated in the first use. In English texts, it should be abbreviated as “et al”.)

Example; (Jacqueline Russ, et al., 2012: 105).

• When citing translated, copied or reprinted sources, the year of the original work and the year of the translation/reprint are given together.

• Sources that have no author (such as religious sources) or whose author is unknown should be cited in the text, while the title and year of the source should be written for the sources without an author.

REFERENCES (APA)
• References used in the text should be listed alphabetically as surname - name.

• If there are many references by the same author in the bibliography, the sources are listed in order from oldest to newest. Sources with the same date are sorted by letter.

For example: 2000a, 2000b.

• If the work cited as the source has more than one author, the surname of the first author in the work should be used first. If the number of authors is more than three, the abbreviation “et al” can be added after the surname of the first author.

• The publication date of the work in the source should be added in parentheses after the name.
