The language of the papers to be presented at the conference can be Turkish or English. If the presentation of the paper is in English, only the structured abstract in English should be sent. The structured abstract should be sent in accordance with the conference schedule of the paper accepted for presentation.

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

Structure: Papers should be in Microsoft Word format and should be 500 – 800 words, excluding references. Page structure should be A4, and margins should be 3 cm on each side of the page (right-left, top-bottom). Page numbers should be placed in the centre at the bottom of the page. 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. Title, institutional information, ORCID number and e-mail address should be indicated as footnotes. Except for papers produced from projects, there should be a maximum of two authors in the paper (Calibri 16 font size).

Keyword and JEL Code: 3-5 keywords that reflect the content of the paper and 2-3 JEL Codes (https://www.aeaweb.org/econlit/jelCodes.php?view=jel) related to the field of the study should be included (Calibri 10 font size).

Importance of the Study (12 Font Size): Information about the subject and importance of the paper should be given (between 50-100 words).

Purpose of the Study (12 Font Size): Information about the paper’s purpose should be given (between 50-100 words).

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).

 

Tables and Figures: All tables, figures, and graphs to be included in the text of the paper should be numbered in sequence (Table 1, Figure 1). Titles should be written above the tables, figures and graphs, centred on the page, in bold, and only the initials of the words should be capitalized. The references, if any, of tables, figures and graphs should be given immediately below them in accordance with the in-text citation rules. One line space should be left between tables and figures and the text.

Bibliography: At the end of the paper text, a bibliography section should be organized alphabetically according to the authors’ surnames. Only the works cited in the text (8-10 references) should be included in the bibliography. If more than one work of the same author(s) is cited, start with the oldest publication date. If more than one work of the same author(s) is cited, the references should be listed in the bibliography section as in the text, using the letters (a, b, c, …) after the publication date. If an author’s works with single and multiple authors are cited, the works with a single author should be written first. Page numbers of articles published in journals and chapters in edited books must be written.
