2- Author Contribution Form (includes mandatory information on Ethics Committee and financial support)

3- Conflict of Interest Declaration Form in ICMJE format (All authors must sign one document)

The Copyright Agreement Form signed by all authors should be attached to the manuscripts to be sent to our journal via the Submit Manuscript link.
Researchers who will submit their studies to our journal should prepare their studies in accordance with internationally recognized ethical principles. At this point, although all scientific, ethical, and legal responsibility of the studies submitted to the journal belongs to the researchers, the editorial board may request an ethics committee certificate when necessary. Studies that the editorial board does not find appropriate for research and publication ethics are not subject to evaluation.


- Author name and address: Since the manuscripts are sent to the referees directly through the system (without making any changes in the file uploaded by the author), there should not be any information identifying the author of the article in order to ensure author-referee confidentiality. For this reason, the name(s) of the author(s) should not be included either in the manuscript or in the file name. For information about the author, the Article Cover Page should be filled in.


- Article Text: Manuscripts should not exceed 8,000 words, should be prepared as an MS Word file, and Book Antiqua font, 10.5 point font, should be used as the font, except for the special cases of some fields of study. If there is a special font used in the study, it must be sent with the manuscript. The study should begin with an Introduction, which should focus on the hypothesis, scope, and purpose of the study. The Development section, which can be divided into intermediate and sub-headings, should be supported by data, observations, opinions, comments and discussions. In the Conclusion section, the conclusions reached in the study should be explained by supporting them with suggestions. Except in mandatory cases, the study should be based on the current Spelling Guide of the Turkish Language Association.


- Title: Studies should be titled in Turkish and English. Titles should consist of a maximum of 12 (twelve) words, and only the first letters should be capitalized. All titles in the text should be written in bold with the first letter capitalized.


- Headings within the Article: In the article, main and subheadings should be created based on the number system according to the processing of the subject.


- Abstract: There should be an abstract in Turkish and English, which expresses the subject of the study in the shortest and most concise form, in the range of 150 - 180 words. Under both abstracts, at least 3 (three) and at most 5 (five) keywords and their English versions should be included. Abstract and Abstract sections should be written in 9 pt and single line spacing.

Authors are advised to make use of the Grammarly website to minimize errors in the abstract section. (Our journal has no interest with the web site)
- Headings in the Article: In the article, main and subheadings should be created based on the number system according to the processing of the subject. The following should be considered in the writing and positioning of the headings:

- Tables
Tables should be included in the main document numbered consecutively in the order cited in the text. Each table should have a descriptive heading above it, and any abbreviations used in the table should be defined below the table in the footnotes (even if they are defined in the text). Above the title, a descriptive caption in italics should encompass the entire title. Tables should be prepared using the "Insert Table" command in a Microsoft Office Word file and organized so that the data are easily read and understood. The data presented in the tables should be different from the data presented in the main text but should support and improve the main text.
- Image and Image Captions
Images, graphics and photos should be submitted as separate files in TIFF or JPEG format and attached to the Word document. If an image has sub-units, the sub-units should be combined into a single image and the images should be labeled (a, b, c, etc.). The minimum resolution for each figure should be 300 DPI and figures should be clear and easy to read. Image descriptions should be listed at the end of the main document. Images/pictures should be cited in the main text and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned.


- Citations and Footnotes
Direct quotations of less than five lines: either in quotation marks: "Quote" or italicized: Quote. Quotations longer than five lines should be written 0.5 cm from the left of the line, in 10 pt. and " ". Footnotes should be written in 9 pt, 3 pt before and after the paragraph, single line spacing and justified.


- Margins should be 2 cm.

Both in-text citations and the references must be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), Sixth or Seventh Edition (2020)
