Units: SI units should be used for all units of measurement in the text. '/' sign should not be used in unit representations (For example: (km h-1; l s-1 rather than km/h; l/s). A space should be left between units, and a single space should be left between the number and the unit (For example: cal g-1 ˚C- 1; 1 kg m-1 h-2 ). For decimal fractions, a period should be used. (2.54 rather than 2,54). In the definitions of percentage, angle, second and minute, no space should be left between the number and the unit. (For example 20%, 40°, 55'', 15').
Formulas and Equations: Each formula should be numbered, using the word mathematical processor, with a reference number at the end in parentheses. Formulas should be given as “Equation” and numbered in the text (For example, Equation 1).
Abbreviations and symbols: Abbreviations and symbols should be given in parentheses if necessary. Abbreviations should not be used in the article title or subtitles. In the definitions given for statistical significance in the text, ‘P’ values or ‘p<0.01’ symbols should be used.
CONCLUSION

For citations with two authors, ‘and’ should be used between the surnames of the authors (Razavi and Parvar, 2007). For citations with three or more authors, the first author’s surname should be followed by ‘et al.’ (Eren et al., 2010). For the same author/s, if there is more than one reference in the same year, then ‘a, b’ letters should be added in alphabetical order to these references (Altuntas et al., 2018a).
