20. Articles should be prepared in accordance with the Harvard reference system (Emerald's Harvard referencing style), citation and referencing rules. In the citations in the article, the "author and date" system should be used, except in special cases. If more than one source is to be cited at the same time, the publications should be separated by semicolons and given in chronological order. For example: (Surname, 2002; Surname et al., 2009; Surname, 2010; Surname and Surname, 2012). In works with two authors, the names of the authors should be separated by "and" (in sources written in a foreign language, "and"), in works with multiple authors, "et al." (in foreign language sources, "et al.") should be used. For example: (Surname, 2007), (Surname and Surname, 2005), (Surname et al., 2003). Multiple uses of publications with more than one author or a single author should also be in historical order, and in the use of many publications in the same year, alphabetical order depending on the first author should be taken into account. For example: (Shooter and Gift, 2019; Yercan and Kınıklı, 2019). When citing different sources published in the same year belonging to the same author/institution/etc., alphabet letters should be used after the year.


Examples
…… about teaching quality (Berk, 2013). ……. SET administration (Avery et al., 2006). ……..on average student ratings (Griffin et al., 2014; Nulty, 2008; Spooren et al., 2013). …… evaluate SET scores (Boysen, 2015a, 2015b; Boysen et al., 2014; Dewar, 2011).
21. All literature mentioned in the text should be included in the "References List". A work that is not cited in the text should not be included in the reference list. The list of references should be given in alphabetical order and according to the author-date system. If two or more publications by the same author are used, the old publication should be given first in the References List. The first letter of each word of the book and book chapter's name must be capitalized. If the publications of an organization are published, they should be given with the publication number, if not, the name and city of the printing house where they were printed should be specified. The name of the journal in which the literature was published should be written clearly without abbreviation. The writing of the references should be 9 pt Times New Roman, the first line should be justified to the left, the following lines should be pulled in 1 cm (hanging). Examples of literature writing are given below. (Emerald's Harvard referencing style)
