PARTS OF ARTICLE

TITLE: The title of article should correspond to the content, is limited to no more than 10-12 words. It should be flush left with point-14. If the work has been presented before or originated from a project or a thesis etc., the title should end with a footnote * and an explanation should be provided.

MAIN BODY/TEXT: Quantitative and qualitative studies should include Introduction, Methods, Findings and Discussion sections. In Methods, it is necessary to include Sampling/Study Group, Data Gathering Tools and Processing sub-sections. If study includes a model, there should be a Model sub-section. Studies like collections should introduce the problem; have a qualified analysis of the relevant literature; emphasize the inadequacies and conflicts in literature; and mention the essential steps to take for solution. In other studies, there may be changes based on the type of subject/topic, however one should pay attention that it should not be in too detailed sub-sections that will make it harder for readers to benefit from the manuscript.

CITATIONS

Writing style guidelines defined by Publication Manual of American Psychological Association (APA) (7th edition) should be applied in both manuscript and citations.

In-text Citation: For in-text citations, “&” sign should be used between authors. For in-text citations, names of authors and publication year of work should be written. e.g. (Goren, 2022). Parenthetical citations should be alphabetical like the following: (Arpacı, 2013; Arpacı & Kuyu, 2010; Karman, 2000, 2004, 2010; Zengin, et al., 2013)

Indirect Citation: In studies, it is essential to cite primary sources, however if one cannot do that due to some difficulties, the secondary source should be cited along with the primary source via in-text citation. A citation from a reference reported from another reference would look as it does below:

• Example 1: Freud, in the book “Das Ich und das Es (Ego and Id)” (1923), explained human psyche in three structures (as cited by Kaya, 2020, 26).
• Example 2: (Torgerson, 1958, p. 1-8 as cited by Baykul, 2000; Zengin, 1957 as cited by Pınar, 1999)

Bibliography: All resources mentioned in manuscript should be under the title Bibliography or Reference List. Sources should be listed alphabetically based on the surnames of authors. Names of institutions/organizations should be mentioned explicitly. Sources should be listed with a line spacing of 1.5 and in hanging-indent (1,25 cm). For bibliography, you can examine resources recommended in the recommendation section.

BOOK REVIEWS

TITLE: Title should be in 14-point and aligned to the left.
ENGLISH TITLE: Title should be in 14-point and aligned to the left.
BOOK INFORMATION: The information of the book reviewed should be flush left and according to the formatting guidelines defined in APA 7.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION LIST: To reach the list of the recommended books, please click.

STYLE AND FORMAT: Same format and style can be used with the research articles. Page numbers are expectional. The number of page is limited to 5-10 pages for book reviews. 

TABLES, FIGURES AND APPENDICES

Tables and Figures: Elements like tables, figures, images, graphics should be included in-text, should not be placed separately at the end of the study. For tables and figures, apart from the general template, Times New Roman 9-point should be used. Tables and figures should be aligned to the left and text wrapping option should be turned off.
For indent section in paragraph tab, before and after should be 0 nk, with single line spacing.

Appendices: Each appendix should be given on separate pages right after the bibliography.
Other: p value should only be shown outside the table; there should not be a separate p column within the table. In-text p values should be in italics. For numbers given, there should be only two digits after the coma.

TITLE SYSTEM

Writing title: Initials of each word constructing title should be uppercase letters (affixes like e, ile, de mi should always be lowercase). Numbers and letters should not be used in titles or subtitles. Titles of tables and figures should also be arranged according to this rule.
Formatting in title writing:

Level 1: Centered, in Bold, Title Case Heading.
Level 2: Flush left, in Bold, Title Case Heading.
Level 3: Indented a tab, in Bold, Title Case Heading, ending with a period.
Level 4: Indented a tab, in bold italics, Title Case Heading, ending with a period.
Level 5: Indented a tab, in italics, title case heading, ending with a period.
It is not recommended to construct a title apart from five levels above.
Titles of Tables and Figures: Labels of Tables and Figures should be written above the tables and figures like (Table 1, Figure 1); titles of tables and figures should be in italics.
