1. Tables should have numbers and captions. In tables, vertical lines should not be used. Horizontal lines should be used only to separate the subtitles within the table. The table number should be written at the top, fully aligned to the left, and should not be in italics. The caption should be written in italics, and the first letter of each word in the caption should be capitalized. Tables should be placed where they are most appropriate in the text. Figures should be prepared in line with black-and-white printing. The numbers and captions of the figures should be centered right below the figures. The figure numbers should be written in italics followed by a full-stop. The caption should immediately follow the number. The caption should not be written in italics, and the first letter of each word should be capitalized.

When citing to publications with three, four and five authors, the surnames of all authors are given only in the first citation in the text. For other citations, the expression of others (et al) should be added next to the surname of the first author.

Example:

First citation: (Uçak, Kurbanoğlu, Şencan and Doğan, 2011), the second and later citations: (Uçak et al., 2011).

Kaplan (1938, qtd. in Oruç 1981). In Doğan’s study (qtd. in Şencan, 2010).

If a source has two authors, the surname of the first author should be placed first.

Example:

Kamalov, İ. and Dündar, A. M.(2008). Tarihten Bugüne Başkurtlar Tarih Dil ve Kültür Üzerine İncelemeler. Ankara: Ötüken Neşriyat.

 

The titles of books and journals should be italicized; article titles and book chapters should be placed in quotation marks. Page numbers need not be indicated for books. Shorter works like journals, encyclopedia entries and book chapters, however, require the indication of page numbers.

Translator’s, compiler’s and editor’s names (if there are any) should follow the author and title of the work:

Example:

Izutsu, T. (1964). Kuran’da Allah ve İnsan. (Trans. Süleyman Ateş). İstanbul: Pınar Publishing.

 

If several references by the same author written in the same need to be cited, it should presented as (a, b)

Example:

Pala, İ. (2015a). Kırk Güzeller Çeşmesi.  İstanbul: Kapı Yay.

Pala, İ. (2015b). Efsane Güzeller. İstanbul: Kitabevi.

These are followed by the date of the entry, the title of the entry in quotation marks, the full name of the encyclopedia, its volume number, place of publication, publisher and page numbers:

 

Example:

Keyormarsi, K., O’Leary, N. and Pardee, A. B. (2007). Cell division. McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology içinde (9. bs., Vol 3, 618-621. pp.). New York: McGraw-Hill.
