Karatekin University Journal of Science is published twice a year and publishes original and qualified academic studies in the fields of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics. All articles sent to be published in the Journal are subject to the "Referee" review and evaluation after the Editor's preliminary review. Submission of the article to the Journal means that it has not been previously published elsewhere and no attempt has yet been made to publish it. (You can download the latex template in here and the word template in here)

The whole article; It should be written in “Times New Roman” font, 12 points, 1.5 line spacing, and justified, including figures, graphics, photographs and tables. (Need a page limit?)
A4 paper size should be used as the page structure and 3 cm margins should be left from the top and left, and 2.5 cm from the bottom and right. Page and line numbers should be added to the article text. The language of the article should be Turkish or English. Articles prepared in Turkish should be written by taking into account the latest spelling guide of the Turkish Language Association.
Cover Page: It should contain the title of the article (in the article language), the full names of the authors (without title), the institutions they work with and all the contact information of the responsible author (open address, e-letter and telephone and document valid numbers). The title of the article should be short and descriptive, written in lowercase, 14 pt and bold with the first letters capitalized. Author names should be written in lowercase and surnames in capital letters (in the middle of the page). Author institutions should be written in lower case letters with the first letters in capital letters.
Title:
Abstract page: The article title, abstract (minimum 100, maximum 250 words) and keywords (3-6 items) should be given in the language of the article. The same information should be given in the other language (English or vice versa if the article language is Turkish). The abstract should briefly include the rationale, aims, method, findings and recommendations of the research.
Keywords: At least 3 and at most 6 keywords that are not used in the title should be written 1 line below the abstract page, the first letter of each keyword should be capitalized and the others should be written in lowercase letters, if possible.
Main text: The main text of the article; Login; Material and Method; Results; Discussion and Conclusion; It consists of resources sections. All main section headings are written in capital letters and bold, and subheadings only the first letter of the first word is capitalized and bold. Headings and the beginning of the paragraph should start 0 cm indent. There should be a space between the paragraphs. Figures and tables should be placed at appropriate places in the article by giving figure and table numbers, table captions should be at the top of the table and figure captions should be given below the figure. Figure and table titles should be as short and descriptive as possible. If the figure is a picture, it should be of high resolution, and the graphic should be arranged in a way that is easy to understand. Only horizontal lines should be used in tables. If the local names of the living species or species that are the subject of the article are used, their scientific names should be stated in the first place in the text. For units, the international system of units should be used (The International Systems of Units, SI) and decimals should be indicated with a dot (.) (for example, 45.7% or 0.221).
Figures and Tables: Figures, graphics, photographs and the like should be specified as "Figure" and numerical values ​​as "Table". All figures and tables should be embedded in the article. Figures and tables should be no more than 16x20 cm in length in single-page layout and 8 cm in width in double-column layout. The size of the figures and tables should be in a resolution that can be printed. Pictures supporting the research results should be in "jpg" format with 600 dpi resolution. Each table and figure should be cited in the text. All tables and figures should be numbered sequentially throughout the article (Table 1 and Figure 1). Table and figure titles and descriptions should be short and concise. Headings for figures and tables should be in 10 points, texts in figures and tables should be in 9 points, texts under tables should be in 8 points Times New Roman font. If abbreviations are used in tables and figures, these abbreviations should be explained just below.

Units: SI (System International d'Units) measurement units should be used in all articles. Use a dot as a decimal fraction (like 1.25 instead of 1.25). “/” should not be used in units and a space should be given between units (such as m s-1 instead of m/s, J s-1 instead of J/s, kg m s-2 instead of kg m/s2). A space must be left between the number and the symbol (such as 4 kg N ha-1, 3 kg m−1 s−2, 20 N m, 1000 s−1, 100 kPa, 22 °C). Exceptions to this rule are the degrees, minutes, and seconds symbols (°, ′, and ″) used for planar angles. They should be placed immediately after the number (like 10°, 45', 60"). The abbreviation of liter should be indicated as “l”. If they are not at the end of the sentence, do not put a period at the end of the symbols (kg, not kg).
Formulas: Formulas should be numbered and the formula number should be shown in parentheses, aligned to the right next to the formula. Word math processor should be used in writing the formulas, main characters should be in 12 points, variables should be in italics, numbers and mathematical expressions should be given plain. If it is to be cited in the text, it should be given in the form of “Equation 1” (…the related model is given in Equation 1).

References: All sources cited in the article should be listed alphabetically in the References section. Likewise, all works in the References section should be cited in the text. References should be given in the text according to the surname of the author and the date of publication (For example: Kray and Fisher 2008; Yılmaz et al. 2005; Zigler 1983a and 1983b). If the reference is to be used in a sentence, only the year should be in parentheses (For example: 'Steffenrem et al. (2007) Picea abies wood properties...').
Sources should be listed as in the following examples:
