Introduction
The body text must have Introduction and Conclusion sections.
In order to achieve certain academic standards and integrity in the studies to be published in our journal, we expect the texts to be organised by following the steps below. This organisation should be applied separately in the Abstract and Abstract sections as well as in the whole manuscript.
1. Presenting the general picture of the study or the background of the problem;
2. A clear statement of the problem/objective;
3. Studies related to the subject existing in the literature;
4. What is the gap in the literature and how will your study contribute to filling this gap and solving the problem?
5. Details of the path to be followed while doing this;
6. Conclusions and recommendations.
Step 1: This part, which will constitute the sentence or paragraph that is the beginning of the article, is the part where the general picture in which the problem to be addressed is introduced to the reader. While this step is limited to a sentence when writing the abstract, it can be extended to a paragraph when writing the introduction. While over-extending this part may overshadow the focus of the writing, the use of short but effective expressions is an important start to convince the reader of the importance of the subject.
Step 2: Clearly state what the problem to be addressed is and why it is important to address this problem. In other words, a SPECIFIC PROBLEM within the general picture presented in the previous step and why the solution of this problem is important is expressed. Similar to the previous step, this step should be limited to one sentence in writing short texts such as Abstract and Summary.
Step 3: Summarise how the problem has been addressed in the literature.
3.1. Has this problem been addressed directly?
3.2. What are the most influential studies and the most recent studies in the field and what do they say?
3.3. If this problem has not been directly addressed, what are the most recent studies?
3.4. Questions should be answered and this LITERATURE should be cited as appropriate.
Step 4:
4.1. How will your work contribute to the literature mentioned above?
4.2. Which gap in the literature will it fill?
4.3. What will it do that has not been done?
4.4. This is the part where you convince the reader of the ORIGINALITY and importance of your work.
Step 5: Presenting in detail how your contribution to the literature will be made. While the previous steps are the introduction to the article, this step constitutes the main body of the article. When we consider the whole article, the first 4 steps are included in the introduction of the article, while after this step, new headings will be opened and the body of the article will be written.
In this section, the theories, methods, materials and methods to be used to reach the targeted result should be explained in detail step by step and examples should be presented. In other words, in the body part, firstly, the theoretical basis of the article should be examined in detail under a heading, which methods and materials will be used. (Then, if necessary and important for the subject, information about the historical background of the subject can be given under a new heading). After that, by opening new headings again, examples should be presented in which the theory and method to be used are applied to the materials at hand. At least two examples should be presented. Three or more examples will strengthen the argument of the paper.
