SUBMISSION

All manuscripts must be submitted electronically via the Internet through the online system for CUNAS journal. After selecting the journal, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. Papers are accepted for evaluation on the understanding that:
• they have not been published,
• they are not being considered for publication simultaneously elsewhere,
• they are not going to be submitted for publication elsewhere.

CHECKLIST

During the submission process, authors should check that their submissions comply with all the items in the list below, applications that do not comply with this guideline will be sent back to the authors.
1. The submitted manuscript has not been previously published or submitted to any journal for consideration.
2. The manuscript file is in the format of Microsoft Word document.
3. URLs of references are provided where available.
4. The text is double-spaced, written in 12-point, italicized instead of underlined (except URL addresses), and all figures, pictures, and tables are placed in appropriate parts of the text instead of at the end of the page. Please send quality copies of the pictures as an attachment for printing. If the sent file size is too large, the system may not receive it. In such cases, you can divide the article and send the other parts one by one as additional files.
5. The text has been prepared in accordance with the formal and bibliographical requirements specified in the Author's Guide.
6. The similarity rate of the manuscript is ≤ 20%.

FORMAT OF THE MANUSCRIPT
The manuscript should be composed in accordance with the Article Template which can be downloaded at https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/journal-file/25193.
The manuscript should be written in the following format:

1. TEXT: It should be written in Times New Roman font and in 12 pt. It should not exceed 20 pages, excluding references and figures and scanning texts. Authors should specify what type of article their article is (Research Paper or Review Paper).

2. TITLE: TheTITLE: The title of the manuscript should follow sentence case, with only the first letter of the first word capitalized. In first- and second-degree headings within the text, the first letter of each word should be capitalized. In third-degree headings, only the first letter of the heading should be capitalized. No expressions in parentheses () should be used in the titles.

3. ABSTRACT: It should be not exceeding 250 words.

4. KEYWORDS: 4-6 significant keywords should follow the abstract to aid indexing.

5. MANUSCRIPT STRUCTURE: In general, the manuscript should cover the introduction, methods, results and discussion, and conclusions sections.

Notes:

The introduction should provide a review of relevant literature and sufficient background information to allow the results of the article to be understood and evaluated.
The methods section should provide detailed descriptions of the materials and methods used.
The results section should clearly and concisely present the data, using figures and tables.
The discussion section should describe the relationships and generalizations shown by the results, discuss the significance of the findings, and compare them with previously published work. The results and discussion sections may be combined in certain cases to ensure a more fluid presentation, such as when direct discussion of the results is necessary.
The conclusions section should highlight the main findings and provide recommendations for future research, avoiding duplication of the abstract.
Acknowledgment of collaboration or assistance (optional) may be included. However, it is mandatory to acknowledge the sources of funding for the research.

FIGURES
Figures (figures, graphs, illustrations digital images, photographs) must be cited in consecutive numerical order in the text and referred to in both the text and the captions as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Figures should be prepared without borders and on white grounding and should be sent separately in their original formats. If a figure is composed of several parts, please mark each part with a), b), c), etc. and provide an explanation for each part in Figure caption. The caption should be self-explanatory. Letters and numbers should be readable (Arial or Times New Roman, min 6 pt with equal sizes and fonts in all figures).
Graphics (submitted as supplementary files) may be exported in resolution good enough for printing (min. 300 dpi) in any common format, e.g. TIFF, BMP, GIF or JPG, PDF and should be named Fig1.jpg, Fig2.tif, etc. However, graphs and line drawings should be prepared as vector images, e.g. CDR, AI.
Multi-curve graphs should have individual curves marked with a symbol or otherwise provide distinguishing differences using, for example, different thicknesses or dashing.

Tables should not duplicate data found elsewhere in the manuscript. Tables should be prepared using a table editor and not inserted as a graphic.

FORMULAS AND UNITS
All formulas in the text should be written in equation format. Formulas should be given sequence numbers as (1), and (2). All units must be in the SI unit system.
Example:
F=ma (1)

NOMENCLATURE (optional)
It can be given before the references at the end of the text.
