Page Layout
The entire article must be prepared in size A4 (29.7 × 21 cm) and written using MS Word. The text should be formatted in Times New Roman, 11-point font size, single line spacing, and justified alignment. Paragraphs should not be indented; spacing before paragraphs must be 0 pt and spacing after must be 6 pt.
Page margins should be set to 2 cm from the top, bottom, left, and right, and all pages must be numbered.
The total length of the article must be a maximum of 8,000 words and written using the IMRaD format.
Headings, including the introduction, must be numbered. For example:

Article Header
Article category, volume, issue, year, page range, and DOI information will be filled in by the editorial office.
Title
The title should clearly reflect the content of the study. The primary title must be in the language the article is written in. However, titles must be provided in both Turkish and English. The primary title should be 14 pt, and the title in the other language should be 12 pt. In both titles, only the first letters of the words should be capitalized. Titles must consist of a maximum of 15 words.
Author Information
The author's first and last name should be placed below the title, with only the first letters capitalized. If there are multiple authors, the names should be separated by commas. The corresponding author must be indicated with an asterisk (*).
Author details should be provided in a footnote. The footnote must include, in order: title, institution name, faculty name, department name, city, country, email address, and ORCID information, separated by commas. No period or any other punctuation mark should be used at the end of the ORCID information.
If the article is produced from a thesis or a project, or funded by any institution, this must be stated separately on the bottom line of the footnote section.
Submission and acceptance dates will be added by the editorial office.
Abstract and Keywords
The abstract should clearly present the scope and main findings of the article. Its length must be a minimum of 150 and a maximum of 250 words. If the article is written in Turkish, the "Özet" and "Anahtar Kelimeler" sections should come first, followed by the "Abstract" and "Keywords" sections; if written in English, the order should be reversed. Keywords should have only the first letter capitalized, be written in italics, separated by commas, and end with a period. (Starting from April 2027, our journal will only publish articles written in English.)
Tables and Figures
Tables and Figures should be placed in appropriate places within the text. The figure number and caption must be placed below the figure, while the table number and caption must be placed above the table. In both cases, the text must be center-aligned, and 10 pt. Table and Figure numbers should be bold, and captions should be written in italics. Tables must have borders.
Ethical Approval
For studies with ethical approval, the institution where the approval was obtained, the approval date, and the decision number must be stated in the method section.
