1. GUIDELINE ON WRITING STYLE
1.1. General Principles
• Authors are required to submit the workplace info, contact addresses/numbers/email addresses and ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) number.
• Manuscripts can be Turkish or English. Submitted manuscripts should be clear and understandable.
• Articles should be between 4000 and 7000 words including the footnotes. Book reviews are required to be between 1000-1500 words.
• Articles must have ‘Öz’ in Turkish and ‘Abstract’ in English at the beginning and they must be written in between 150-200 words. Both ‘Öz’ in Turkish and ‘Abstract’ in English need to cover the purpose, method, hypothesis and results of the study briefly. Studies written in English should present the English ‘abstract’ before and those written in Turkish should present the Turkish ‘Öz’ before. Both Turkish ‘Öz’ and English ‘Abstract’ must be typed in single space, 9 point font and in italics. Also in both versions of the articles, at least three or at most seven key words must be added to the abstracts.
• Author’s academic title, position, institutional email address and ORCID number should be stated in a footnote in the first page starting with a “ * ” 9 points font size. (Assoc. Prof., Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy Security Sciences Institute, editorgbd@jandarma.gov.tr, ORCID:… i.e.)
• Tables, figures and illustrstions should be numbered consecutively, captioned and cited in the text in sequential order. Captions should before the table and after the figures/illustrarions.
• Equations should be numbered consecutively. That number should be in parenthesis on the right side of the page.
• Authors need to refrain using footnotes and incorporate them with the main body.
• Technical terms need to be used with quotation marks and authors need to refrain from using abbreviations without providing the full form of them at first appearance in the text.
1.2. Principles Regarding Page Layout
• Manuscripts should have single line spacing, Times New Roman font, 11 font size, (Top 4.6 mm, bottom 4.6 mm, left and right indent 4 mm, gutter 0, header 4.6 mm, footnote 5 mm, paper size A4.
• Manuscripts should start with an introduction section, be separated into proper sections afterwards and following with a conclusion section. Bibliography needs to continue with the conclusion section and the last section should be the attachments section.
• Without numbered to introduction, conclusion and bibliography; sections should be numbered consecutively. Symbols such as (*, -) can be used after the 3rd level segment. Section headings;
1. FIRST LEVEL SEGMENT (ALIGN LEFT, BOLD, CAPITAL LETTERS)
1.1. Second Level Segment (Align Left, Bold, First Letters are Capital)
2.1.1. Third Level (Align Left, Italic, First Letters are Capital)
• Tables, figures and illustrations should be numbered (Table-1., Chart-2. ie.). Tables names should be on top of the tables and centered; names of the figures should be under the figures and centered as well.

1.3. Guideline for Citiations
• References in the body of your manuscripts should be in (Author, Date) format. When directly quoting from a text, you must include a page number in the citation as well.
• If you are using more than one reference by the same author/authors, the earlier dated publications should be listed first in the bibliography. If it is published in the same year, authors need to assign letter suffixes after the year i.e.: "Pala (1981a) makes similar claims...".
• Citiations for the publications with 3 and more authors should have their full names written for the first citing and then use “(The first authors surname) et al. for subsequent entries. If there are more than 5 authors, first author’s name should be followed with “et al.”
• If author is directly quoting from a work, then it will need to include the author, year of publication, and page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.
• If the author is quoting more than 40 words, it is required to start the quotation on a new line, indented two tabs from the left margin, i.e. in the same place one would begin a new paragraph.
• In case of citing a periodic publication without a specific author name, the name of the publication can be used instead of author name. (Wall Street Journal, 2009 i.e).
• In case of parenthetical citation including two or more authors, it is required to order them alphabetically, separated by a semi-colon. (Abrams, 2000; Sullivan and Hellman, 1999).
