E. Spelling Rules and Citation Procedure

1. The spelling and spelling rules of the journal are based on the publications and decisions of the Turkish Language Association.

 

2. "The Chicago Manual of Style Notes and Bibliography System 18th Edition (2024)" citation

system has been adopted in footnotes and bibliographies (see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html). For illustrative examples and open-access guides on the citation system, see.

https://library.ulethbridge.ca/chicagostyle/home

https://widener.libguides.com/Chicago18/examples

https://library.uco.edu/chicago18

 

3. In case the language of publication of the work is Turkish, when citation is made;

§ "ve" instead of "and"

§ "yayınlanmamış" or "yayımlanmamış" instead of "unpublished"

§ "Anonim" instead of "Anonymous"

§ "Cilt." instead of "volume/vol." in works consisting of more than one volume

§ "bkz." instead of "see."

§ "iç." instead of "in."

§ "erişim tarihi " instead of "accessed"

§ "çev." instead of "trans."

§ "editör" instead of "edited by"

§ "çeviren " instead of "translated by"

§ "röportajı yapan" instead of "interviewer"

§ "doktora tezi" instead of "PhD diss."

§ "tez" instead of "thesis"

§ "son değiştirilme" instead of "last modified"

§ "çekim" instead of "filmed" must be used.

 

§ The month names used to indicate the date have been in Turkish, but the spelling format has been preserved. For example, it should be written as Mayıs 8, 2019.

 

§ The expression "no." for the number of the journal has been retained. Likewise, the expression "ed."has been retained.

 

§ "vd." should not be used in the page number. Instead, the expression "ff." should be inserted

without a space between the relevant number. If "." comes after "ff.", it is not used, but if ";", "?" etc. come after "ff.", they are written adjacent to the dot in "ff.".

4. Legislation and judicial decisions cited in footnotes in the text are not included in the bibliography. The following rules and abbreviations should be taken into account in references to judicial decisions:

§ Name of the court/institution, if any, its department, E. main number K. decision number date

[day.month.year format], (the source of the decision, if any, the page number or URL or DOI number in the source).

§ In the case of foreign judgments, the decision citation procedure adopted by the relevant court or institution itself may be used. If preferred, the system used for Turkish judgments may also be applied to the extent appropriate. However, whichever citation system is used for one judgment of the same court or institution in one work, the same systematic should be used for other judgments.
