Original scientific articles for publication in the Manufacturing Technologies and Applications must be submitted online after registration is completed on the journal website (http://dergipark.ulakbim.gov.tr/mateca). Click (EN)(Template) (TR)(Sample Article) for a sample article.
Font and Page Layout
1. The margins for each side (right-left, top-bottom) of the page structure should be 2 cm. Page numbers should be at the bottom and middle of the page.
2. The articles sent to the journal should be prepared using single-spaced, 11-point Times New Roman font. Each paragraph should be indented 0.5 cm left and no space should be left between paragraphs.

4. Articles should be based on the Turkish Language Association's spelling guide and spelling rules. When using unconventional words in Turkish, the foreign language equivalent can be given in parentheses at the first occurrence.
5. In the article (Text, tables, graphics, figures, etc.) the SI unit system should be based and a point should be used in decimal notation.
6. All of the headings, subheadings, figure and table explanations used in the text should be in English, and for English articles, the Turkish version should be specified in parentheses in 10 points.
Title and Author Information
7. English and Turkish titles should be written over the Turkish and English abstracts, with the first letter capitalized, single-spaced, left aligned, Times New Roman, 12 points and bold.
8. In the works to be sent, the names of the authors should be written in 10 points under the English title. The imprint information of the author should be added under the names of the authors in 8 points with a star or numbered footnote.
Summary and Keywords
9. All submitted articles must include English and Turkish abstracts. Keywords should be written in English/Turkish with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6, with the first letter capitalized under the abstract. The titles of the abstracts should be written with the first letter capitalized and left aligned. The abstract of the article should be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 250 words.
10. Abstracts and Keywords should be written in Times New Roman font, 10 pt and 9 pt, single-spaced, respectively. Only the titles of these sections should be bold.
Main Text and Section Headings
11. The main text should be written using Times New Roman font, 11 points, single-spaced and justified. The first lines of paragraphs should start 0.5 cm inside. The main title and subheadings of the article should be numbered in decimal form such as 1., 1.1., 1.1.1, starting from the Introduction (excluding the References), left aligned and written in bold. Subheadings should be made up to the third level (such as 1.1.2.) at the most in the text, and if necessary, lower-level headings should be written in italics and bold (without numbers). In the article, the main headings should be in capital letters, only the first letter of the 2nd degree subheadings should be capitalized, and the first word of the 3rd degree subheadings should be in capital letters. There should be a single line before the main headings and a 6 pt space after the heading.
Tables, Figures and Graphics
12. Tables, figures and graphics should be centered on the page in a way that is numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, Figure 1, Figure 2, Graphic 1, Graphic 2 etc.) in appropriate places in the text. Each table, figure or graphic should be given a title. The title should be written in Times New Roman, 10 points above the table, below the figure or graphic. A single point should be placed after the table, figure or graphic number and the title of the table, figure or graphic should be written. The paragraph spacing between the Title and the Table, Figure or Graphic should be "then 6 pt". Tables can also be used horizontally if needed. The text in tables, figures and graphics should be at least 9 points.
13. Tables should not be included in the text as a software program output, the author(s) should bring the results into tables themselves. The resolution of the figures should be at least 300 dpi.
Mathematical Equations
14. Mathematical equations/formulas should be written in the text as left aligned. Mathematical equations and formulas should be numbered in the article. Numbering should be done in parentheses at the far right of the line.
Acknowledgement
15. If the study is supported by a research institution or fund, the name of the supporting institution/organization and the project number should be written before the References section.
References
16. References in the text should be given in square brackets. References should be written in the formats given below in the references section, in 10 points.
