For example: At the end of the sentence; (Özüdoğru, 2017) or (Özüdoğru, 2017, p. 155) or (Özüdoğru, 2017, pp. 155-159). At the beginning of the sentence; According to Özüdoğru (2017); should be used. When citing sources with two or more authors, at the end of the sentence:
(Özüdoğru, Şekeroğlu, and Fidanlı, 2017) or (Özüdoğru, Şekeroğlu, and Fidanlı, 2017, p. 57) or (Özüdoğru, Şekeroğlu, and Fidanlı, 2017, pp. 57-73).

If more than one work is referenced at the end of a sentence, these sources should be listed in parentheses in alphabetical order. For example; (Özüdoğru, 2017; Kaya, 2018; Özüdoğru and Şekeroğlu, 2018). If there are more than three authors in the referenced work, the surname of the first author should be followed by the abbreviation “et al.” For example: (Ersoy et al., 2016).
16. If the text contains direct quotations from sources, the page number must be provided when referencing the source. When referring to sources in the Turkish text, “s.” or “ss.” should be used for page information. For example: (Özüdoğru, 2008, p. 155) or (Özüdoğru, 2008, pp. 155-179).
