If the source is quoted verbatim, it should be enclosed in quotation marks and the page number should be given when referring to the source. When referring to the sources in the Turkish text, “s.” should be used for page information and “ss.” for page breaks. In English texts, “p.” and “pp.” should be used. (İnalcık, 2011, p. 23) or, as Halil İnalcık (2011, p. 23) emphasizes... or, as İnalcık (2011) emphasizes...
Works by the same author published in the same year should be given in alphabetical order as 2012a, 2012b, respectively. İnalcık (2011a, pp. 22-45).
In-text citations with two authors should be cited as (Özdemir and Özkan, 2020) and in-text citations with three or more authors should be cited as (Özkan et al., 2021).

The information in the first line of the table should be bold and the rest should be written normally. If any note is to be used in the table, it should be preceded and followed by a dash and written as Note: Example...
The source(s) used in the table should be given in parentheses after the table according to in-text citation rules. The same standard format should be applied and centered for all other uses of figures, figures, etc., such as tables. In order to preserve the integrity of the use of tables, etc., it is possible, but not mandatory, to start from the next page.
The list of all sources utilized and used in the study should be consistent with the references in the text, and should continue after the conclusion without skipping a page.
