Articles should be written in MS Word using Calibri font, 11pt size, single-spaced, and justified (Abstracts should be 10pt with single-spacing, and the first line of paragraphs should have 0 indentation). The page setup should be A4; with 2.5 cm margins on the right, left, top, and bottom. (These settings are adjusted in the "Page Layout" - "Margins" section). Paragraph indents should be 1.25 cm, and the spacing between paragraphs should be 0 pt before and 6 pt after. Headings should have 12pt spacing before and 6pt spacing after. No blank lines should be inserted between paragraphs. (These settings are adjusted in the "Paragraph Settings" - "Indents and Spacing" section in MS Word).
Article Structure
The general structure of the article should be as follows: title, abstract, and keywords in the language the article is written in; title, abstract, and keywords in the second language (English if the article is in Turkish, Turkish if the article is in English); full text, footnotes, references, and -if any- appendices.
Title, Abstract, and Keywords
The Turkish and English titles of the article should be in Calibri font, 11pt size, all capital letters, and bold. "Abstract" and "Keywords” should be in Calibri font, 10pt size, and italicized. Abstracts should be between 150-250 words. The abstract section should briefly state the purpose and scope of the study, its original aspects and contribution to the field, its methodology and main highlights, evaluations, and recommendations. There should be a minimum of four and a maximum of six keywords. Commas should be used between keywords, the first letter of each keyword should be capitalized, and keywords should not be numbered.

Blind Peer Review Policy
In accordance with the blind peer review policy, the article file uploaded to the DergiPark system and submitted to reviewers for evaluation must not contain any expressions related to the author's identity. Therefore, the first page of the article file uploaded to the system should only include the title, abstract, and keywords in the language the article is written in, and the title, abstract, and keywords in the second language (English if the article is in Turkish, Turkish if the article is in English).
Main Text and Headings
The main text of the article should begin with the "INTRODUCTION" heading after the keywords. Main headings in the text should be left-aligned, in capital letters, and bold. Second-level headings should be left-aligned, bold, and only the first letter of each word should be capitalized. Third-level headings should also be left-aligned and bold, but only the first letter of their first word should be capitalized. Headings should not be lettered or numbered.
Tables and Figures
Table and figure titles should be numbered above the tables and figures, written with a paragraph indent in Calibri 11pt. The words Table, Figure, Graph and their numbers should be bold. In table and figure names, the first letter of each word should be capitalized but not bolded. For example: Table 1: Table Title. The font inside tables should be Calibri and 8pt. The source, figure, and table should be written below, starting with a paragraph indent, in Calibri 10pt as in the bibliography, and the page number should be specified.
In-Text Citations and References
In-text citations in the journal should follow the APA (6th edition) citation method, in parentheses, with the author's last name and publication year. For example; (Saaty, 1999: 90). If the cited work has two authors, both authors' last names should be shown. For example; (Arslan & Yener, 2016: 22). If the cited work has three or more authors, the phrase "last name et al." should be used for the first author. For example; (Tekinalp et al., 2000: 98-99). If multiple sources are cited or mentioned on the same topic within the text, the authors' last names should be listed in alphabetical order, separated by semicolons. For example; (Ahmet, 2009; Can, 2001; Uysal, 2006). Different works by the same author in the same year should be indicated by "a, b, c, ..." placed after the publication year. For example; (Yılmaz, 2008a; 2008b).
Footnotes in the text should only be used for explanatory purposes at the bottom of the relevant page, without disrupting the integrity of the text, and should be in Calibri 10pt font.
Abbreviations used in in-text citations and the bibliography should be written according to the writing language of the article, regardless of the language of the referenced source. For example; "ve", "vd.", "Der./Ed." in Turkish articles, and "and", "et al.", "Ed./Eds." in English articles.


Appendices
If appendices are included in the article, each appendix should be on a separate page after the bibliography. The "APPENDICES" heading should be in capital letters, bold, left-aligned, and numbered. The first letter of each word in the appendix title should be capitalized. For example; APPENDIX 1: Appendix Title.
Bibliography
Cited sources should be listed alphabetically by last name on a separate page at the end of the article under the heading "References". Each source should begin with a paragraph indent. If there are works by the same author in the same year in the bibliography, they should be ordered by adding "a, b, c, ..." to the end of the publication year.
Citations in the bibliography section should also follow the APA style (6th edition). Examples of general rules to be followed are given below, and for citation formats not exemplified, please refer to http://www.apastyle.org/ or relevant resources.
