REFERENCE WRITING STYLES
Citing within the Text
"National Library of Health (NLM) Reference Writing Style" is used for indicating the references. Each reference in the text should be numbered in the order as it appears in the manuscript, should be indicated at the end of the relevant sentence in round brackets and a period should be placed at the end of the parenthesis. If several resources are to be displayed at the same time, the resources are sorted from small to big, and separated by commas (1, 2, 5, 8).

Unpublished reports, abstracts, lecture notes, and personal opinions cannot be cited as references.

In consecutive references, the date order should be from old to new. In other words, a small number should be assigned to the old dated one.

If there are three or more consecutive references, it should be shown by putting "-" between the references (1-4 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4,).
Sample:
……… endothelins have been shown to be released in a variety of hypoxia and/or ischemia states (64–66).

If the author is cited, references should be given right after the author's name:
Sample:
......... Miller and Seals (47) and Harvey (24), reported that in 26% of children with unexplained bacterial infections .....

If a reference in another publication is cited and that reference is unavailable, only the cited publication is shown as the reference, and the unavailable reference is indicated by name:
Sample:
........ as Barman et al. (15) stated, Reis et al. reported that sympathoinhibitory neurons were in the caudal ventrolateral medulla.

When citing studies with two authors, the word "and" should be placed between the author's surnames:
Sample:
......... The method suggested by Goodman and Gilman (6) was used.

When a work with more than two authors is cited, it should be written as "and friends" or "et al." abbreviation should be used after the first author's surname:
Sample:
......... Merahi et al. (21) reported that similar results were obtained under different types of operations.

In figures and tables which are taken from another publication, the source should be cited in accordance with the procedure used in the text: After the source figure or table explanation, the names of the authors (reference number), the word "from" and the phrase "taken" are added as a sentence or only by giving the literature number of the relevant source. In the explanation of these figures and tables, a statement should be added that permission has been obtained from the original authors.
Sample:
Figure 4. EEG images of the sleep-wake periods (taken from Nosjean et al. (45))
Figure 4. EEG images of the sleep-wake periods (45)

Web pages should be indicated by giving a sequence number when citing, however, the addresses of the web pages used should be given in the references together with the access date (month, day, year). Since such documents are updated frequently, it is recommended to write the latest update date if it is certain. The web pages used should contain information from scientific publications, organizations supervised by scientific boards, and publications of state, university and public institutions. In this context, official websites of international and national scientific committees with proven reliability such as "WHO" and "TÜBİTAK", and preferably websites with ".gov", ".edu", ".org" should be used. Sites with commercial content or sites of private persons and organizations, along with magazine sites should not be used.
Sample:
The Spelling Guide of the Turkish Language Association can be accessed from the internet address (43).
According to the data on the Ministry of Health's website (8) accessed on 10 May 2007, cancer ranks second among diseases that cause death.

Reference Writing
The references are listed in the order in which they cited in the text. The references list should include all the references you cited in the text. Journal names should be abbreviated in the style used in the NLM Catalog (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog?Db=journals&Cmd=DetailsSearch&Term=currentlyindexed%5BAll%5D).
