Instructions to Authors

1) Contributors must submit three copies of their manuscripts including the original figures and tables to the editor. In addition to the hard copy, the author should submit the work on a computer disk in Windows format.

2) Manuscripts must be typed on A4 white paper, double-spaced, with New Roman Times 12 font, and leaving a 2.5 cm. margin on each side as well as the top and bottom part of the paper. The length of the articles should not exceed 25-30 pages and the book reviews may be around 1-7 pages.

3) The spelling guidelines of The Foundation of Turkish Language for the Turkish manuscripts must be taken as standard for the spelling of loan words in Turkish. Loanwords accepted in English usage should be spelled in accordance with the Oxford English Dictionary and its supplements. Other foreign words must be written in Italics and explained in parenthesis or at deep notes if necessary.

4) Manuscripts must consist of the title page, the abstract pages, both in Turkish and in English, the main article, appendix, tables, figure captions, figures, deep notes or end notes, the correspondence address of the author, and extended abstract in English for the Turkish articles and Turkish for the English articles. All these must be written on separate pages.

a) A title page should be prepared carrying the article title consisting of not more than 10-12 words (maximum 50 characters including the spaces), author's full name (in the form preferred for publication), and author's affiliation including mailing address.
b) Abstracts, not exceeding 200 words both in Turkish and English must begin from new pages.
c) The article must begin from a fresh page.
d) References should be numbered consecutively and appear as foot notes. They should contain name and surname of the author, full title of book or article, place and year of publication, and page reference. Quoted unpublished material should have full location reference.
e) Tables and figures should have captions and numbers. The captions of the tables and figures must be written on the top, and references and explanations related to the figures must be written below the table.
f) Each table must be typed on a separate sheet and the approximate position in the text must be indicated by a marginal note.
g) Original drawings or pictures must be submitted in a form ready for the printer. Each illustration should bear on the back a number, the author's name and the title of the paper. Captions should be presented separately on a sheet at the end of the manuscript and should be identified by number.
h) Equations should be numbered consequently. Equation numbers should appear in parentheses at the right margin. In cases where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
i) The sources quoted or referred in the text must be listed alphabetically in the Sources. They should contain surname and name of the author, full title of the book in italic or full title of the article in regular font and the name of the journal in italic, the place and date of the publication. Quoted unpublished material should have full location reference.

5) Articles that do not obey these rules will be returned to the author for the necessary changes. Papers not accepted by the editorial board will be sent back to the author together with the original figures and tables.
