The following are the rules to be considered in the preparation of the structured abstract text of the proceedings:

The structured abstract should be under the headings specified in the template and the required format.
Title: The paper’s title should be in bold letters with the first letters capitalized and centred on the page (Calibri 16 font size).
Author(s): The names and surnames of the author(s) should be written clearly just below the title of the paper.

Citations: The in-text citation method should be used in the paper. In the citation, the author’s surname (s), year of publication and page number should be indicated in parentheses. If the author’s surname (s) is used in the sentence, it is sufficient to write only the publication date in parentheses after the name. When citing studies with two authors, the surname of both authors should be written. When referring to studies with three or more authors, the first author’s surname should be written, and the expression “et al.” should be used. If more than one work of the author(s) is cited in the same year, symbols such as “a, b, c” should be written at the end of the publication year to distinguish the sources from each other. If more than one work is cited at the end of a sentence, these references should be given in parentheses, and a semicolon (;) should be placed between them. In cases where an explanation is required, the footnote method can be used. Footnotes should be written in Calibri 10 font size, justified and single-spaced. In-text citations should be created within the framework of the examples given below.
Citing Sources in the Text: Single Author (Torgler, 2007: 135).
Two Authors (Acemoglu & Robinson, 2015: 122).
Three or more authors (Kirchler et. al., 2014: 90).
Two studies by the same author (Due, 1971a: 58; Due, 1972b: 195).
