If the name of the referred author is given within the text, then only the publication date should be written. If there are two authors the surnames of both should be given. When citing studies with three or more authors, the surname of the first author should be written and the “et al.” expression 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 ensure that the sources are separated from each other. If more than one work is cited at the end of the sentence, these references should be included in parentheses and a semicolon (;) should be placed between them. Where clarification is required, the footnote method can be used. Footnotes should be written in Calibri 10 points, justified and single-spaced. In-text citations should be created within the framework of the examples given below.
Examples of Citations in the Text:

The titles of the tables and figures should be placed at the heading of the table or figures and centred. References belonging to tables or figures should be under them. Text in the tables should be written in Microsoft Word format with Arial Narrow 10 or 11 pt. Figures and tables should be separated from the text by one-line intervals.
References: The list of references (minimum 10 and maximum 20 references) should be presented in alphabetical order at the end of the text. References which are not cited in the text should not be written in the References section. If the author referred to more than one publication from the same source, the oldest publication should be listed first.
