Introduction

The introduction should be written in a concise and focused framework that establishes the scientific importance and necessity of the study. In this section, the theoretical, applied, or social reasons why the topic is important should first be explained, and this significance should be supported by current studies in the literature. Subsequently, the gaps, limitations, or unresolved problems found in existing research should be clearly identified, and the need that this study addresses should be stated.

Finally, the method, approach, or dataset through which the research will address the identified gap should be expressed in clear language, so that the purpose, scope, and original contribution of the study are explicitly presented at the end of the introduction.

Sub-Headings (Second Level)

Third level headings

In peer-reviewed articles, all main and sub-headings should be written in 12-point font. First-level headings are written in regular, bold, with initial letters capitalized; second-level headings are written in bold, italic, with initial letters capitalized; third-level headings are written in italic with only the first letter of the first word capitalized.

Literature Review/Theoretical Background

In this section, the fundamental concepts and approaches that form the theoretical framework of the study are addressed with literature support. Previous studies directly related to the research topic are summarized from a holistic and synthesizing perspective; rather than a merely chronological or descriptive account, similarities, differences, and trends among studies are highlighted. The existing body of knowledge in the literature is evaluated to identify gaps, contradictions, or insufficient aspects in the research area. If the study examines a topic that has not been previously addressed, the rationale for this is explained on a logical and scientific basis.

Methodology

The methodology section should be structured to present the scientific framework of the research and should explain in detail which approaches and processes were used to examine the topic. In this context, the research design should be clearly stated and justified with theoretical foundations explaining how the chosen design meets the aim of the study. The sample or study group should be defined along with its relationship to the population and selection criteria; the characteristics of the data collection instruments, validity–reliability information, and implementation stages should be presented systematically. Furthermore, the theoretical and empirical foundations of the hypotheses should be explained with reference to findings in the literature, and the relationship of these hypotheses to the research purpose should be clearly established.

Results/Findings

The findings obtained in the study should be presented in line with the research purpose and hypotheses. Relevant tables, figures, graphs, or diagrams may be used in the presentation of findings.

Tables and Figures

It is important that all tables and figures are explained within the text. Tables and visuals should begin with the label "Table", "Figure", or "Visual" and should continue with numbering. For tables with many rows and columns, gray shading may be used to facilitate reading. Data within tables should be entered in 10-point font. Direct presentation of SPSS outputs should be avoided.

The paragraph following a table should begin with a 1 cm indent and continue in the normal article format. Figure and image captions should be 10-point in size and placed immediately below the figure. The figure number should be written in italics; after a period, the figure title should be given in regular font. After the figure caption, the content may continue in the normal article format with 6 pt line spacing. A single line space should be left between two consecutive tables or figures.

Discussion

In this section, the findings obtained within the scope of the research are interpreted within the framework of the study's aims and research questions. The meaning of the findings, the patterns they reveal, and how they relate to the research problem are explained through an analytical approach. The results obtained are compared with previous studies in the relevant literature, and similarities and differences are identified; the points where the findings converge with or diverge from the literature are discussed with justification. The theoretical, methodological, or practical contributions of the research to the field are emphasized.

Conclusion and Recommendations

In this section, a general evaluation of the study is made, and it is explained whether the research achieved its stated objectives. The findings are not restated; instead, the key conclusions drawn from the findings are summarized within a holistic framework. The conclusions are addressed in terms of the originality of the study and its contributions to the literature. It is recommended that this section avoid direct quotations or transfers, and instead reflect the author's own evaluations and inferences. Additionally, recommendations for practice and/or future studies are presented based on the research findings.

Ethics Committee Approval

Ethics committee approval and written permission were obtained from Bartın University Social and Humanities Ethics Committee (at the meeting dated 27.04.2023, numbered 09, with application number 2023-SBB-0234).
