PRINCIPLES OF WRITING A PAPER FOR THIS CONFERENCE
Referencing: There are different rules of writing in different disciplines. In order to provide coherence between authors, we take the basis of the American Psychological Association / APA 6 rules and we expect the following rules to be followed (by both the authors and the reviewers who will make the evaluation) to be complied with:
Writing a paper:
For the text, figures, tables etc. Times New Roman 10 font size should be used while in the sub- headings, bold 12 font size should be adopted. The full paper should be between 15 and 20 pages.
Below the title (16 font size), author(s) name and surnames, affiliations, titles and emails (12 font size) should be placed.
For the Turkish-written papers, both Turkish and English abstracts (for the English-written papers, Turkish participants should write in English and the other participants should only write in English) and 4-5 keywords should be used. In the paper proposals, research aim, scope and abstracts should be expressed in detail.
For referencing: Intensive citations should be avoided and previous studies should be cited at the beginning and in the remaining parts, the paper should critically analyse the previous studies by confirming or highlighting the differentiated points. Moreover, the author(s) should not approach to a reference, cited by other researchers, as if the author(s) accessed in their ways.
Both in the text and in the reference list, titles should not be used, such as Prof. Dr. Akdemir
After sending the detailed abstracts and their subsequent acceptation, the papers will be sent to three reviewers, who are the field experts. The reviewers can explain the reasons of accepting, rejecting, or asking for a revision in their comments. For an acceptance, the majority of the reviewers (2/3) should accepted the relevant paper. For a revision, the revised version of the papers will be sent to the same reviewers and, in case of the acceptance, the papers will be accepted.
Unpresented papers at the sessions will not be included in the conference proceedings and the author(s) will not receive the certificate of attendance.
