Table 1 – Table Title

Citation (in text)

In in-text citations, we adopt the principle of including the surnames of the authors and the publication year of the work, as well as the page number from which the cited part is taken. Page numbers should also be given in parentheses, both in paraphrase (rewriting the author’s opinion in your own sentences), and in direct quotations (quoting the author’s sentences in quotation marks or block quotations). If the source does not consist of pages (for example, an article taken from the internet), it should be stated as in which paragraph (Author Surname, Year, paragraph x) the cited part is included, and the order of the paragraph in the text should be written instead of x.

First Reference to the Work in the Text

With one author (İnalcık, 2016: 108)

Two authors (Daş and Ospanova, 2019: 382-383)

With Three or More Authors (Karauğuz et al., 2002: 9)

Author groups (abbreviated)

If more than one work is cited in the same parenthesis, WHAT IS WRITTEN FIRST in the bibliography is WRITTEN.

If two or more works by the same author are referenced, the letters following the alphabetical order are added to the publication year: eg. (Cemil Meriç, 2000a); (Cemil Meriç, 2000b).

If the author of the work is not specified, the first few words of the name of the work are used when quoting. When referring to such a work, the title of the book is written in italics, followed by the date: eg. As stated in another resource (Family Education Guide, 2008)… or as stated in the Family Education Guide (2008)…

If more than one author with the same surname is referenced, the names of the authors should also be stated in the sentence, even if the publication years of the works are different. For example: Turan Yay (1993); Gülsün Yay (2012).

Personal interviews should be mentioned in the text but not in the bibliography. For example: (Hikmet Öğüt, personal communication, December 2000).

It is essential to reach primary sources in studies, but if they could not be reached due to some difficulties, the cited or cited source is indicated in the reference. For example: (cited by Özcan, 200: 210); (cited in Smith, 2012b: 45-52). The source information in the cited or cited work is not included.

Explanatory information about the citation or other than the citation should be given at the bottom of the page by adding footnotes. The reference in the footnote should be the same as the text.

REFERENCES

All sources used and cited during the study (except for classical texts and personal interviews) are added to the Bibliography. WORKS THAT ARE NOT CITED IN THE WORK ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCES.

You can create a Bibliography in two ways. Our preference is to use the Microsoft Word program, so the margin of error will be reduced to zero.

• Automatically in Microsoft Word

1. Before the article starts to be written in Microsoft Word, go to the “Manage Resources” and “Style” sections from the “References” tab. Select “APA” from the style.
2. Click on the “Manage Resources” section, click on the “New” section in the opened tab and add the resources used in the article one by one.

OR

1. While writing the article in Word, after each citation you make, click “Add Citation” from the “References” tab and select “Add New Source”. From the tab that opens, enter the information about the source you use and save it. In this way, you will enter the system as you use the resources.

2.After the article is finished, click “References” => “Add References” from “References” and it will add the sources you cited at the end of the document in the appropriate style.

• Manually

References are listed alphabetically according to the surnames of the authors. If there is no author’s name, the name of the work is taken as the basis. If more than one work of an author is used, the sources are written in chronological order. If more than one work of an author published in the same year is used, they are listed as “2020a”, “2020b” according to the alphabetical order of the titles of the works.

In the “bibliography”, the surname of the author, the initials of the first name (sometimes the first two names), the year of publication (in parentheses), the name of the work, the publication information, are written separately with dots.
