Only section headings should be in all capitals, while the first letter of each word in subsections should be capitalized, with the rest in lowercase. Indentation should be set to: left: 0 cm, right: 0 cm; special: First line 1.25 cm. Heading numbers should be assigned from the introduction section onward, using a decimal system (e.g., 1., 1.1., 1.1.1.).
Main Text: Paragraphs should be in 12-point font, justified, with indentation set to: left: 0 cm, right: 0 cm; special: First line 1.25 cm. There should be 6 pt spacing before and after paragraphs, and the text should be single-spaced. Page numbers should be centered at the bottom.
Tables/Figures/Graphs/Maps/Images: Table titles should not exceed the table boundaries, be in 11-point font, bold, with the first letters of words capitalized, and spaced 1 line apart from the top line of the table; they should be centered and placed above tables and figures. Table titles should have 6 pt spacing above the previous paragraph and 6 pt spacing from the table. Each table should be numbered sequentially (e.g., Table 1, Table 2.). Sources for tables should be immediately below the table in 9-point font, and bibliographic information should be fully provided each time. The source listed below the table should have 6 pt spacing from the table and the next paragraph. Text within tables should be between 9-11 points. Mathematical equations included in the text should be numbered, with the numbers aligned to the right in parentheses.
Citations and References: Citations should follow the APA method. Explanatory notes should be provided as footnotes at the bottom of the page (in 9-point font). Explanatory footnotes should be numbered with regular digits. In-text citations should include the author's last name, the source's year, and the page number. If there is no author, the institution name should be used instead of the author's name. For example: (Karadağ, 2013: 5), (Özer and Karanar, 2011: 15), (Aydınoğlu et al., 2000: 10-12), (DPT, 2004: 32).
