All kinds of figures, graphics, pictures, photographs, maps, and similar materials in the article are “Figures”; and the rest should be specified as "Table".

All figures and tables in the text of the article should be placed following the place of reference and in numerical order (such as Figure 1, Figure 2, or Table 1, Table 2). Figure and table titles should be short and concise.
All figures must be in “jpg” format with a minimum 600 dpi resolution.
Vertical lines should not be used in tables.
Figure and table captions should be 9.5 points, and any characters in figures and tables should be 9 points.
All kinds of abbreviations used in tables and figures and explanations required for statistical analysis should be explained with 7-point footnotes just below the table/figure, and each abbreviation explanation should be separated from each other with a comma (,). Do not put a period (.) at the end of the figure and table captions and footnotes.
Units: SI (Systeme International d'Units) measurement units should be used in all articles. Points should be used as decimal fractions in the text of the article and in figures and tables (such as 4,75 instead of 4.75). “/” should not be used in units and a space should be given between units (For example; m s-1 instead of m/s, kg m s-2 instead of kg m/s2). A space should be left between the number and the symbol (Example: 9 kg P2O5 ha-1, 13 kg m-1 s-2, 30 N m, 2 dS m-1, 15 °C, and 41%). Exceptions to this rule are the degrees, minutes, and seconds symbols (°, ′, and ″) used for planar angles. They should be placed immediately after the number (Example: 22°, 33', 50"). The abbreviation of liter should be indicated as "L", not "l". Symbols should not be ended with a period (kg, not kg) if they are not at the end of the sentence.
Abbreviations and/or Symbols: Abbreviations should be avoided as much as possible in the article. Symbols should be given as specified in the article preparation template. If the abbreviation is to be used in the text, the clear form of the concept should be written where it is first used and its abbreviation should be given in parentheses [Example; phosphorus (P)] The same is true for symbols. Internationally valid and established abbreviations should be preferred. Abbreviations should not be used in the title of the article. Symbols should be given according to the SI system.
Formulas: Formulas should be numbered and the formula number should be shown in parentheses, aligned to the right next to the formula. Word program formula writing tools should be used in writing formulas, main characters should be in 11 font sizes, variables should be in italics, and numbers and mathematical expressions should be given as plain. If it is to be cited in the text, it should be given as “Equation 1” (…the related model is given in Equation 1).
