If a reference is made to a particular section, page of a resource, or to a certain shape, table or equation in that resource, the number of the item in question is indicated in the citation. While page information is given with the abbreviation p., no abbreviation for the others. Examples: (Doğan, 2018, p. 42), (Doğan, 2015, Section 2) (Doğan, 2012, Table 1)…

If the number of authors is six or more, only the surname of the first author and the expression of others (et al) should be added also in the first citation (Colombo et al., 2015).

In English studies, "and" should be used instead of "ve" if reference is made to a Turkish source, and "and" should be used instead of "and" if reference is made to an English source in a Turkish study. Example:… (Gupta ve Singh, 2012); …. (Doğan and Şencan, 2001).

(1996). ...; Doğan, G. [Güleda]. (2010). ...), citation should be made to the names and surnames of the authors. Example: (Gözde Doğan, 1996), …(Güleda Doğan, 2010).Örnek: (Gözde Doğan, 1996), …(Güleda Doğan, 2010).

In case of citation to more than one reference, it should be arranged first in alphabetical order and then chronological order, a semicolon should be placed between them. Examples: ... reported (Barham, 2005; Barham, 2006; Brownell & Horgen, 2009; Doyle et al., 2015; Nielsen & Engberg, 2006).

Secondary references can only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as the original (primary) source has been removed from printing, is not available from known sources, and its original language is not Turkish or English. Citations to the secondary source should be as shown in the example below. Examples: ….…. (Ress from Goffman, 2009); In Goffman’s study (cited in Ress, 2009) …. The secondary resource (ie. Ress, 2009) is included in the reference list with all the imprint information, the primary resource (ie. Goffman) does not.

Information based on personal conversations via e-mail, telephone, face-to-face or in other formats is shown in the text, but they are not written in the bibliography. For example: Aslı Baysal said …………………… (Aslı Baysal, personal conversations, 22 May 2019).

If the group name is short or its abbreviation is not understandable to everyone, the name is written clearly in all citations.
