Headings (other than Abstract, Summary, Introduction, Conclusion, and References) should be automatically generated in decimal format, such as "1. 2. 3.; 1.1., 1.2.; 1.2.1.," using numbers and dots. A space should be left between the heading number and the first letter of the heading. Spaces should be automatically created by the word processing program used (such as Word, Open Office Writer), and the space key should not be used.

The words in headings should start with capital letters only. Italic writing should not be used.

The Abstract and Summary sections of the article should include the following points:

Keywords
Keywords should be written in Gotham Narrow Normal font with a font size of 9 points; they should be aligned on both sides and have single-line spacing with no indentation. It should consist of at least 5 and at most 8 words. Keywords assist in the electronic scanning and indexing of the publication and are crucial for researchers to find the publication. Therefore, relevant concepts that accurately reflect the article should be selected and arranged from general to specific.

The first concept must be the name of the scientific field. The second concept should be determined as the subject, sect, person, or work reflecting the research. Then, concepts that fully reflect the content of the article should be added.

If the study is person- or work-focused, the name of the relevant work and author must be written as keywords.

Words that do not have conceptual meaning beyond their literal meaning, when used alone, should not be preferred as keywords.

Each word should start with a capital letter, and a comma should be placed after each word.

Introduction
There must be Introduction and Conclusion sections in the body text.
To achieve specific academic standards and coherence in the articles to be published in our journal, texts should be organized by following the steps below. This organization should be applied separately to the SUMMARY and ABSTRACT sections, as in the entire article.
1. Presentation of the general picture of the study or the background of the problem;
2. Clear statement of the problem/objective;
3. Studies related to the existing subject in the literature;
4. What is the gap in the literature, and how will your study contribute to filling this gap and solving the problem?
5. Details of the approach taken;
6. Results and recommendations.
Step 1: This part, which will form the beginning sentence or paragraph of the text, introduces the reader to the general picture of the problem. While this step is limited to one sentence when writing the Summary, it can be extended to a paragraph when writing the Introduction section. Excessive extension of this part can overshadow the focus of the article, while using short but effective expressions is an important start to convince the reader of the importance of the topic.
Step 2: It is the clear expression of what the problem is and why solving this problem is important. In other words, a SPECIFIC PROBLEM within the general picture presented in the previous step and why solving this problem is important are stated. Similar to the previous step, this step should be limited to one sentence when writing summaries like Abstract and Summary.
Step 3: A summary is made of how the mentioned problem is addressed in the literature.
3.1. Has this problem been directly addressed?
3.2. What are the most effective and recent studies in the field, and what have they said?
3.3. If this problem has not been directly addressed, what are the closest studies?
3.4. Questions must be answered, and appropriate LITERATURE CITATIONS must be made.
Step 4:
4.1. What contribution will your study make to the literature mentioned above?
4.2. What gap in the literature will it fill?
4.3. What will it do that has not been done before?
The answers to these questions must be provided.
4.4. This part is where you convince the reader of the ORIGINALITY and importance of your study.
Step 5: It is the detailed presentation of how the contribution to the literature will be made. While the previous steps are introductory in nature, this step constitutes the main body of the article. When thinking of an entire article, the first 4 steps will be included in the introduction of the article, and after this step, new headings will be opened, and the body of the article will be written.

In this part, the theoretical background of the article under a title, what methods and materials will be used, should be examined in detail. (Then, if necessary and important for the topic, information about the historical background of the subject can be given in a new heading.) After that, new headings should be opened, and examples of the application of the theory and method stated should be provided for the materials at hand. It is necessary to present at least two examples. Presenting three or more examples will strengthen the article's argument.
