The purpose of these guidelines, based on the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition, is to ensure a clear, standard format for yedi submissions. Please follow all guidelines as closely as possible.

1. yedi Article Template: Articles should be formatted according to the yedi article template which can be downloaded from the website. The article templates are as follows (updated on 03.10.2024):

2. Abstract: The abstract should be 150-300 words long. Footnotes and citations are not permitted.

3. Keywords: 3-9 words.

4. Main Text: The main text should be 3.500-7.000 words long.

5. Figures and Tables: Figures and tables should be numbered and include concise, self-explanatory captions, and should be embedded within the main text. Authors are responsible for formatting. Figures should be camera-ready. The short side of the images should be 10 cm and suitable for online printing. First authors are responsible for any copyright issues. Digital files of images and illustrations (not embedded in the manuscript) should be submitted separately in .TIF or .JPG format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Freehand or typewritten lettering should not be used. Maximum 12 images should be used in the article.

6. Footnotes: Footnotes should be numbered and be less than 60 words.

7. Quotations: All quotations should be cited. For quotations of fewer than 40 words, add quotation marks around the words and incorporate the quote into your own text— no additional formatting is needed. Quotations of 40 words or more should be formatted as block quotations. Do not use quotation marks to enclose a block quotation.

8. In-Text Citation:

see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/elements-list-entry#retrieval    
APA Style uses the author–date citation system, in which a brief in-text citation directs readers to a full reference list entry. The in-text citation appears within the body of the paper (or in a table, figure, footnote, or appendix) and briefly identifies the cited work by its author and date of publication. This enables readers to locate the corresponding entry in the alphabetical reference list at the end of the paper. Each work cited must appear in the reference list, and each work in the reference list must be cited in the text (or in a table, figure, footnote, or appendix).

One author

Parenthetical citation: (Luna, 2020)

Narrative citation: Luna (2020)

Two authors

Parenthetical citation: (Salas & D’Agostino, 2020)
