For Example; (Köprülü, 1966: 71-76).

If citation has been made again to same references in the text, also the same method is applied; abbreviations such as op. cit., ibid etc. should not be used.

If the cited author name has been mentioned in the text, it is no need to repeat the author name within the parentheses.

For example: Boratav (1984: 11) states that the number of these stories is 34.

If the reference to which is cited is with two authors, both authors’ surnames should be used.

For example: (Aça and Yolcu, 2017: 72)

If authors are more than two, the phrase ‘‘et al.’’ (and others) should be used after the first author’s surname.

For example: (Lvova and others, 2013: 194)

If references to which are cited are more than two, citations should be separated by semi colon.

For example: (Kaya, 2000: 180; Artun, 2004: 86)

Footnotes should be used for the explanations that are not considered appropriate in the text and these notes should be listed as 1, 2, 3 in the text. If archival documents are used in the text, references to these documents should be specified in the form of (Document-1) or (Archive-1) and archive document information should be written against the related phrase in the bibliography.

If the information received from oral sources is included in the text, references should be indicated as (SP-1) meaning Source Person, In the references section of the study, the information of each source person should be indicated under the heading of Oral Resources in accordance with the reference code made in the text.

If more than one study by an author is to take part in the references, an order by the publication date from old to new should be done. For studies which were carried out in the same year, the phrases “a, b, c…” should be used and these should be same with citations which are made within the text, as well.
