More details about the purpose and methodology of the study should be given in the introduction. Each table, figure and graph should be numbered and have a caption indicating the exact content. If tables, figures and graphs have references, the references should be written under the tables, figures and graphs. The conclusion should provide information about the results of the study and recommendations/future studies.

For the JEL classifications that should be selected according to the title of the article, please visit https://www.aeaweb.org/econlit/jelCodes.php?view=jel.

4. Every citation in the text must be included in the bibliography. Works that are not cited in the text should not be given in the bibliography. Explanations other than quotations should be given under the relevant page in the form of footnotes.

5. Plagiarism is when you incorporate someone else's ideas into your own work without acknowledging the original source; this is considered academic dishonesty and can cause serious problems. Self-plagiarism, on the other hand, is presenting a previously published work as a new work without citing the source. For this reason, when referring to the ideas of others (and your own previously published work), appropriate citation and citation rules based on the APA (American Psychological Association) format should be followed. Accordingly, citations should be listed in the bibliography alphabetically according to the author-date system.

6. Citations in the text should be given in brackets (following the order of the surname of the author(s), the year of publication of the source: the relevant page number), and the bibliography list, which includes the sources used in full and complete bibliography, should be shown at the end of the text in accordance with the citation system. In cases where the same author has more than one work published in the same year, a, b should be written at the end of the year (author's surname 2018a, page number). If an author's name is mentioned in the text, there is no need to specify the citation again at the end of the sentence. For example: "Gençoğlu (2018, 80) says...". In addition, it is not necessary to give a page number when referring to the entire source at the beginning of a sentence (as in a literature review).

7. In the bibliography, the surnames of the authors should be written in alphabetical order, the first letter of the author's name should be written and the year should be given in parentheses. If there is more than one author, each author's surname and name should be separated with a hyphen (-), a period should be placed between the source information, the first letter of the title (in quotation marks if it is an article) should be capitalized, and the page range of the articles in the journal should be included. For internet sources, the date of access should be written.
