MANUSCRIPT ORGANISATION
All studies submitted to our journal for evaluation should be prepared based on the sample article template (click to download the template). Once the template has been uploaded, the texts should be adapted to the relevant sections of the template without any changes to the template. Studies that do not fit the model/not produced on the template will be returned to their authors without evaluation. Other points to consider are the following:
• In articles, “Times New Roman” font should be used with 11 font size, 1.5 line spacing, and 6 pt spacing should be left before and after. The text should be written in single column and justified. Each paragraph should consist of at least three sentences. Paragraphs should start with a 1 cm indent and 1 line (12nk) should be left between paragraphs. In articles that require the use of a special font, the font used should also be sent with the article. In the page layout of the article, 2.5 cm margins should be left from the top, right and left edges and 1.5 cm from the bottom. The Turkish and English titles of the studies should be written with the first letter of each word capitalized, aligned to the left, and should be in 20 points and bold.
• The name and surname of the author(s) should be written in Times New Roman 14 points, normal and left aligned.
• The purpose, method and findings-results of the article should be included in the abstract section and should not exceed 200 words. The abstract should be written in Times New Roman, 10 points and single line spacing. The number of keywords under the abstract should be at least 3 and at most 5. If the article is written in English, Abstract and Key Words should be included first, then Abstract and Keywords should be written. If the article is written in Turkish, Abstract and Keywords should be included first, followed by Abstract and Key Words.
• Papers should be at least 5000 and at most 8000 words, including extended abstracts.
• Each article submitted to the journal should include an Extended Abstract of 750-1000 words after the "References" section. If the language of the article is Turkish, the extended abstract should be in English; if in English, the extended abstract should be in Turkish. Extended abstracts should not contain subheadings, should be in a single column and of the specified length. Extended abstracts should be written in "Times New Roman" font, 11-point font size, single-spaced, with 6 pt spacing before and after. The abstract should be a holistic text that includes the purpose, scope, theoretical framework, methodology, findings and results of the study and should include all relevant parts of the study. The Extended Abstract should be placed at the end of each study, immediately after the References section, and the study should be uploaded to the system as a single MS Word file.
