The following points should be taken into consideration in the studies submitted to our journal:
The manuscript should consist of at least 5000 and at most 10000 words, including references, and at most 35 pages.
The text should be in A4 (21x29,7 cm.) page size, with 2.5 cm margins on all sides, justified on both sides, Times New Roman font format, using MS Office Word.
The text content should be written in 11 pt font size (main title 12p, headings bold and 12p, abstract 10p, footnote 10p, bibliography 10p, tables and figures 9p), with 1.5 pt line spacing, 6 pt spaces before and after the text (3 pt for tables), the first line of the paragraph indented by 1 cm, all direct quotations indented by 1 cm, references indented by 1 cm as hanging.
Tables, figures, pictures and charts should be of a size appropriate to the page content. Table and figure contents can be written in at least 8 pt and single-spaced.
REFAD has a double blind peer review policy. Therefore, the names and institutions of the author(s) should not appear anywhere in the manuscript at the first submission. This information will be uploaded separately as a ‘cover page’ file in the first article submission.
Each article should include an informative and understandable Turkish and English abstract of 200-250 words written in 10 font size. The abstract should include important information about the aim, method, findings and results of the study. Under the prepared abstract text, 3-6 keywords should be included.
A cover page should be created and the full name and institutional titles of the author(s) and the postal address(es), business/mobile phone number(s), e-mail address(es) and ORCID id number(s) of the corresponding author(s) should be written here.
The texts to be uploaded to the journal system must have a similarity rate of 15% or less as a result of plagiarism scanning, excluding references and citations.
The format used in REFAD referencing is APA (American Psychological Association) Style 7th Edition.
For the first step of the publication phase, manuscripts should be submitted through the Online Application System.
Appendices and Acknowledgements should be at the end of the article before the reference list.
