In terms of spelling and punctuation (except for special uses), the Turkish Language Association's Spelling Guide should be taken as basis. The submitted manuscripts should be clear and understandable in terms of language and expression in accordance with scientific criteria.

1. Title: The Turkish title of the text should be written in Palatino Linotype in 11 pt and in capital letters, bold and centred. The English and German titles should be written after the Turkish title in Palatino Linotype in 11 pt and in capital letters, centred and bold.

2. Authors: The authors' title, institution, fields of work and email address should be provided. In addition, the authors' ORCID information should be written.

3. Abstract and Extended Summary: the Turkish abstract ("Öz") should be written in 10 pt, italic, bold and in Palatino Linotype with 1 line spacing and should not exceed 500 words. After the Turkish abstract, an English abstract entitled "Abstract" should also be given in the same way. At the end of the text there should be an "Extended Summary" in English or a "Zusammenfassung" in German if the text was submitted in Turkish and an "Özet" in Turkish is required if the text was submitted in German or English. These extended summaries should be written with a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 1,000 words and should outline the basic framework, problem and result.

4. Keywords: Keywords in Turkish ("Anahtar Kelimeler") and English ("Keywords") should be written under the abstract. The number of keywords should be at least 4, at most 8 words and should include the main topics of the essay.

5. Text: The text is written in 11 pt, the font being Palatino Linotype with 1 line spacing, using vertical and regular letters. Footnotes are written in 10 pt, using Palatino Linotype, with vertical and normal letters. Footnotes should be placed at the end of the page. Quotations are presented in inverted commas and italics. Italics are used for foreign idioms and proper names. Foreign words in the text should be written in italics. A comma, full stop and other punctuation marks are followed by a space.

Footnotes: The information given in the first citation should be given in the footnote in the same way as in the bibliography. The footnote layout is as follows:

(a) Books:

For books, the author's name and surname, the publisher, the place of publication, the year of publication, the page (p.) or the margin number (Rn.) are given first. There is a full stop at the end. Only the title of the book should be italicised.

For example: Philip Kunig, Das Rechtsstaatsprinzip: Überlegungen zu seiner Bedeutung für das Verfassungsrecht der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Mohr Siebeck, 1986, p. 23.

In the following footnotes, only the information "author's surname, page or margin number" is necessary (for example: Kunig, p. 71.). If more than one book by the same author is cited, the title of the book should also be given in each case, although this may be shortened (for example: Kunig, Das Rechtsstaatsprinzip, p. 73.).

b) Essays:

For essays, the first and last name of the author, the title of the essay (in inverted commas), the names of the editors as well as the name of the journal or book in which the essay was printed, the number of volumes, the edition, the publisher, the date of publication (in months and years), the page range (beginning to end of the essay) and the page (p.) or marginal number (Rn.) referred to are given. A full stop is placed at the end of the footnote. Only the name of the work in which the essay was printed should be italicised.

For example: Matthias Mahlmann, "Menschenwürde in Politik, Ethik und Recht – universelle Fassade, kulturelle Relativität?", in: F. Salinger, Y.Kim, S. Liu, C. Mylonopoulos, J. Tavares, K. Yamanaka, Y. Zheng, Festschrift für Ulfrid Neumann zum 70. Geburtstag, Heidelberg, C.F. Müller Verlag, 2017, pp. 267 - 281.

In the following footnotes, only the information "authors' surname, page or margin number" is necessary (for example: Mahlmann, p. 270.) If more than one essay by the same author is cited, the title of the essay should also be given in each case, although it may be shortened (for example: Mahlmann, Menschenwürde, p. 270.).

6. Bibliography: At the end of the study, there should be a bibliography in which the sources used in the study are listed alphabetically according to the surnames of the authors. In the bibliography, only the works cited in the text should be included. Sectioning can be made for decisions and internet resources.

a) For Books:

In the bibliography, first the author's surname (in capital letters), then his/her name, the title of the book, the publishing house where it was published, the place of publication and the year of publication should be shown. The title of the book should be italicised.

For Example: KUNIG, Philip, Das Rechtsstaatsprinzip: Überlegungen zu seiner Bedeutung für das Verfassungsrecht der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Mohr Siebeck, 1986.

b) For Books with More Than One Author:

For works with more than one author in the bibliography, firstly the surname of the authors (in capital letters), then the name of authors, the title of the book, the printing house where it was published, the place of publication and the year of publication are shown. The title of the book should be italicised.

For Example: AKKANAT Halil/ÇEKİN Mesut Serdar/SARIKAYA Murat, Medeni Hukuk’ta Olay Çözüm Tekniği (Borçlar Hukuku – Eşya Hukuku Çözümlü Pratik Çalışmalar), Filiz Kitabevi, İstanbul, 2018.

Only the title of the work in which the article appears is italicised.

For Example: MAHLMANN Matthias, “Menschenwürde in Politik, Ethik und Recht – universelle Fassade, kulturelle Relativität?”, in: F. Salinger, Y.Kim, S. Liu, C. Mylonopoulos, J. Tavares, K. Yamanaka, Y. Zheng, Festschrift für Ulfrid Neumann zum 70. Geburtstag, Heidelberg, C.F. Müller Verlag, 2017, s. 267 – 281.
