Writing Rules

Introduction:

Turkish Folklore Research Journal is a scientific/academic international double-blind peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. Articles to be submitted to the journal (bibliography, notes, etc. all) should be 8000 words. Book reviews should not exceed 2000 words. Turkish articles should have 150-250 words Turkish Abstract; English Abstract/Abstract of at least 250 words; English articles should have 150-250 words English and Turkish Abstract, and each article should have at least 5 keywords. The abstract/abstract does not contain citations, quotations or citations; the aim of the research, the method, information about the data and the results obtained / contribution made are stated.

Main body:

This is the main part of the paper and is usually divided into different sub, numbered sections to clearly show the reader the content to be covered. It includes the methodology used to conduct the research, results, analysis and discussion. An original article contains in-depth information and analysis of existing research. The author(s) should present evidence or cite evidence that supports the conclusions reached in the article.

Methodology:

Methods were used to collect the data; the qualitative or quantitative nature of the data should be made clear. Other options may include questionnaires, interviews or field research. In theory, a clear methodology should allow others to replicate and evaluate the original research. Methodological explanations in the main text should be limited. Repeating known, common systematics may lead to rejection of the paper.

Results:

This section may include the data collected, tables, graphs and figures, and a summary of the results.

Discussion:

In this section, the author focuses on discussing the results of the research conducted in relation to the research question. In general, this section will include how the results relate to the question posed and the implications of these results.

Conclusion:

The conclusion should bring everything together and reinforce the author's point of view. The results should be presented in a logical order. In general, this will be in order of importance, not in the order in which the research was carried out.

References:

This section contains a list of all sources cited by the author in the paper. The latest research and publications on the subject should be seen, cited where necessary, and included in the References. This section contains an alphabetical list of all references cited by the author in the article. References not mentioned in the main text are not included. References should be organised in accordance with APA 7 (American Pscychological Association) standards

After registering to the Article Tracking System on the journal website, the text is uploaded with the ‘Submit Article’ button. There are no author identities in the main text.
