TABLE AND FIGURES
Tables
The position of tables should be vertical (portrait) only. Large tables should be avoided. If much data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two (or more) tables. The preferred format for tables is MS Word. Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text in bold, e.g., Table 1. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Since the tables must be autonomous, any explanation essential to the understanding should be given as a note at the bottom of the table. The columns and rows in the tables should not be separated either by horizontal or vertical lines. Only horizontal lines should be used to separate column headings and the end of the table.
Figures
All illustrative material—graphs, diagrams, photos, drawings, pictures, etc.—is called by a common name of figures, e.g., Figure 1. To maintain clear contrast, use line patterns instead of shading and avoid thin, light lines. Graphs should be done using Microsoft Office Excel and provided in the text of the manuscript and by a separate Excel file. If figures are produced not in Excel, they should be in separate graphic .jpg or .tiff format files in a resolution of at least 300 dpi (3000 pixel about 26 cm in size). Calibri, font size 12, should be used; there should be no bold, no frames around figures.
Figure legends should be concise and should give enough information to make the figure understandable. All symbols presented in the figures must be defined, and all acronyms should be explained as a note at the bottom.
Tables and figures should be shown in the text. It should not be given separately.
All tables and figures must be referred to in the text (Table 1 and Figure 1).
Statistical analysis
The data provided in the tables and figures should be statistically processed.
REFERENCES
Both in the text and in the source books, the rules of writing specified in the book Publication Manual of American Psychological Association (APA) (7. edition), published by the American Psychological Association, should be applied.

Use "et al." after the first author's family name for citations with three or more authors (Savoie et al., 2004).
References should be arranged chronologically. All references should be listed alphabetically by author's surnames and chronologically. Names of journals should be in full titles rather than the abbreviations. All journal articles must include volume, number, and pages. For web pages, please write the date of the available data.
