Author Guidelines

1. Articles submitted for evaluation must be original and must not have been presented or published in any electronic or print media previously.

2. All Manuscripts include a plagiarism report. The plagiarism rate set by the Editorial Board should not exceed 15%. If it exceeds the rate, the paper will not be considered for evaluation and will be rejected. Either the Turnitin or iThenticate program must be used to generate the plagiarism/similarity report. References and quotations in the text may be excluded from the report. 

3. Manuscripts should be, at most, single-spaced and between 4.000 and 10.000 words excluding the Abstract, in Times New Roman 11-point font. Manuscript submissions are welcome only on the DergiPark platform.

4. The first page of the Word file to be submitted should include 

     (i)     the title of the article, 

     (iii)   an abstract of not more than 150 words; 

     (iv)   3-5 words of the keywords; 

     (v)    the full name(s) of the author(s); 

     (vi)   the ORCID ID numbers; 

     (vii)  institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); 

     (iv)   the e-mail address and phone numbers of the author(s) should be indicated on a separate page. 

An “Ethics Committee Permission Certificate” obtained from the relevant institution for studies that require ethical approval and are based on questionnaires should be uploaded at the time of submission.

5. Tables, figures, and graphs should be numbered consecutively and contain full references. Place table, figure, and chart titles above the items; list references for tables, figures, and graphs at the bottom. A comma should separate decimals. Equations should be numbered consecutively. Equation numbers should appear in parentheses at the right margin. 

6. Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page.

7. Footnotes are generally used for two purposes: a) to provide additional information and clarifications on a concept or topic mentioned in the main text, and b) to provide references for direct or indirect citations at the bottom of the page. Footnotes, whether used for providing information or for referencing, should be numbered consecutively with numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). No special symbols should be placed before or after the numbers at the bottom of the page. The text of the footnote should be written in 9-point font, with single line spacing, aligned with the main text above, and should end with a period.

When referencing a source using a footnote: In the first instance, the full citation of the source should be provided according to the guidelines for source preparation. For subsequent references to the same source, a shortened citation should be given in accordance with the following examples. Abbreviations such as Ibid., loc. cit., and op. cit. should not be used.
