Decimal points must be used as separators in numerical values within figures. Proper citation is mandatory for figures or images that are reused or adapted.
● Tables: Various types of tables may be used depending on their purpose. Leave a single space before the table title and a 3 line space afterward. Except at the top and bottom of the page, leave one space before and after the table. Any abbreviations used in the table should be explained below the table in 8-point font, as shown in Table 1. If the table spans both columns, it should be placed at the top or bottom of the page (see Table 2). The text in tables should be written in 8-point Times New Roman font, and may be reduced to 7-point if necessary.
● Page Numbers: Page numbers may be included in the article, but they will be re-formatted during the layout process.
● Other: Suffixes for equations, figures, and tables must follow Turkish vowel harmony rules (e.g., “in Table 1”, “in Equation 2”, etc., must reflect correct suffixation in Turkish grammar). The percentage sign (%) should be written without a space between it and the number. In Turkish texts, the % symbol precedes the number (%51); in English texts, it follows the number (51%). Abbreviations must be written out in full the first time they are used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Subsequent use should be limited to the abbreviation alone. For lowercase abbreviations, suffixes should be based on pronunciation (e.g., cm’yi, kg’dan, mm’den). For uppercase abbreviations, suffixes should be based on the pronunciation of the final letter (e.g., in TBDY, of TDY, from TRT). Acronyms written in all caps but pronounced like a word should be treated phonetically in their suffixes as well (e.g., to ASELSAN, from DİTAŞ, of ÇİMSAN). Abbreviations must comply with the Turkish Language Association (TDK) abbreviation directory (e.g., vd. – and others, vb. – and the like, dk. – minute, m – meter, g – gram).

For articles submitted to Kayseri University Journal of Engineering and Science, the similarity index must not exceed 20% for original research articles and 30% for review articles. Moreover, similarity from any single source must not exceed 5%.
