The Turkish abstract (Öz) and the English abstract (Abstract) must be prepared in Helvetica, 10-point font. Each abstract should contain 150–300 words and clearly present the purpose, methodology, findings, and conclusions of the study. Abstracts should not include citations or references.

Keywords should be provided in both Turkish and English immediately below the abstracts. The number of keywords should be at least three (3) and no more than five (5) words and/or phrases, preferably selected from recognized subject indexing systems. In addition, the appropriate JEL Classification Codes should be indicated below both the Turkish and English abstracts.

The main text must be written in Helvetica, 11-point font with single (1.0) line spacing. Paragraph spacing should be set to 6 pt before and 6 pt after each paragraph. For headings, spacing should be 12 pt before and 6 pt after.

Titles of tables, figures, and graphs should be placed above the relevant item and numbered consecutively (e.g., Table 1.). The numbering should be bold, while the title should be in regular font with only the first letter of each principal word capitalized. If a source is provided, it should appear below the table, figure, or graph, aligned to the left in 10-point font. The word Source should be bold, while the remaining text should be in regular font. All tables, figures, and graphs must be centered on the page.

The REFERENCES heading should be written in bold, uppercase letters, and left-aligned. References should be formatted using a 1.25 cm hanging indent and prepared in accordance with the APA 7th edition citation style.

Equations and mathematical expressions should be numbered consecutively as (1), (2), etc., with the equation number aligned to the right margin. All equations must be prepared using MathType. Mathematical variables and statistical test symbols should be presented in italics.

For studies requiring Ethics Committee Approval, information regarding the approval (committee name, approval date, and approval number) must be stated both in the Methodology section and on either the first or the last page of the manuscript. For case reports, a statement confirming that written informed consent was obtained from the participant(s) must be included in the manuscript.
