CITING SOURCES
APA 6th version was taken as the basis for in-text references (citations) and bibliography writing.
A. In-text References (Citations)
* Citations should be given in parentheses immediately after the relevant section, in the order of the surname of the author, the year of publication of the work/study and the page number, using commas “,” between them. A full stop indicating the completion of the sentence should be placed after the parenthesis.
* Footnotes should not be used to make in-text references but to provide additional information or expand on important information given in the text. Articles with footnotes that contain unnecessary details in terms of the content of the article may be rejected at the preliminary review stage.

1. Single Author, Single Study
* The surname of the author, the year of publication of the study and the page number are given immediately after the relevant section to be cited in the text. Page numbers are abbreviated as “s.” in Turkish articles and “p.” in English articles.
Example: The labor process consists in the transformation of this conception and design in the mind of the worker into a concrete effort (Marx, 1999, p. 27).

* If the author's name is mentioned in the relevant sentence, it is sufficient to indicate the date and page in parentheses.
Example: Altbach (2001, p. 11) argues that many higher education systems in the world...
Example: Altbach states that there are many higher education systems in the world... (2001, p. 11).

* If the author and year of publication are given in the sentence, the author and date are not given in parentheses.
Example: Üçok's 2004 study on the subject can be cited as an example.

* If the entire study is to be referred to, the surname of the author and the year of publication are written in parentheses.
Example: Social capital is formed by strong ties between people in similar situations, such as family members, neighbors, or ethnic groups (Harper, 2002).

* If referring to the same study for the second time in a paragraph, it is sufficient to give the surname of the author for the second time; there is no need to add the year of publication.
Example: Frederick W. Taylor (1997) argues that at the heart of scientific management is the integration of the interests of workers and management... Taylor argues that by not sharing with the employer the knowledge about the job they hold, workers can use this knowledge as a means of 'shirking' from work.

* If the cited source consists of volumes, the volume number is written before the page number and indicated with the abbreviation “C.”. In English articles, the abbreviation “Vol.” is used for volume.
Example: (Okay, 1990, Vol. 2, p. 30)

2. Studies with Two or More Authors
For a study with two authors, the surnames of both authors should be included in each reference. The surnames of the authors in the sentence are connected with the conjunction "and,” and the “&” sign is used in parentheses.
Example: Şafak and Öz (2003, p. 15) have written...
Example: (Şafak & Öz, 2003, p. 15)
Note: In English articles, the conjunction “and” should be replaced by “and” in the sentence and “&” in parentheses.

* When referring to works with three, four or five authors, the surnames of all authors are written only in the first reference. For subsequent references, the abbreviation “et al.” is used after the surname of the first author.
Example: First reference in a paragraph: Ercan, Bakırlı, Selçuk et al. (2013, p. 25) argue that the studies exhibiting this approach...

Second and subsequent references within the paragraph: Ercan et al. (2013, p. 25) argue that studies exhibiting this approach...
Example: First reference in parentheses: (Üçok, Vardar, & Aksan, 2004, p. 20)
Second and subsequent references are in parentheses: (Üçok et al., 2004, p. 20)

* When referring to studies with six or more authors, only the surname of the first author is indicated.
Example: In a sentence: Şener et al. (2000, p. 50)
In parentheses: (Şencan et al., 2000, p. 50)
Note: In English articles, the abbreviation “et al.” is used instead of “et al.” when referring to studies with three, four, five, six, or more authors.

* When referring to two different authors whose surnames and first letters of their first names are the same, the names and surnames of the authors are written without abbreviation.
Example: (Gözde Doğan, 1996)
(Güleda Doğan, 2010)

3. Studies with Legal Entity Authors
* If a work belongs to a legal entity (government agencies, organizations, associations, working groups, etc.), the name should be written clearly and concisely in the citation. In some cases, the name of a legal entity may be abbreviated. If the name of the legal entity is long and has a well-known abbreviation, both the full name and the abbreviation are used in the first reference, and only the abbreviation is used in subsequent references. If the legal entity name is short and not easily understood by everyone when abbreviated, it is written without abbreviation wherever it is mentioned.
Example: First reference in a paragraph: Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK, 2015)...

* In subsequent references within a paragraph: TÜBİTAK (2015). .
Example: First reference in parentheses: (Türk Dil Kurumu [TDK], 2012, p. 38)
For subsequent references in parentheses, see (TDK, 2012, p. 38).

4. Works with Unknown Authors
* If there is no author or legal entity name in a study, the first few words in the author field (usually from the title) and the year are used in the citation. In references, the title of the article, chapter title or name of the web page should be in quotation marks, while the title of the book, journal, brochure or report should be italicized.
Example: (“Coffee in the Ottoman Period”, 2000, p. 18)
(Renewable Energy Opportunities, 2000)

5. Works by Authors with the Same Surname
* If there is more than one author with the same surname in the bibliography, the first letter of their names is abbreviated before their surnames and used in all references, whether the study was conducted in the same year or in different years.
Example: (A. Demir, 2003, p. 46)... (H. Demir, 2003, p. 27)

6. Referring to more than one work
* If more than one work is to be referred to in the same parenthesis, they should be in alphabetical order according to the surnames of the authors and separated by semicolons.
Example: Gökyay, 1982, p. 120; Okay, 1990, p. 28; Tuna, 2000, p. 40.

* If referring to different studies by the same author, the publication year is followed in order from the oldest dated to the most recent one and the surname of the author is written once at the beginning of the reference.
Example: (Kılıç, 2000, 2002, 2004)

* The works of an author in the same year are distinguished by adding the letters a, b, c... after the year.
Example: (İlhan, 2003a, p. 25)... (İlhan, 2003b, p. 58)

7. Quoting or Citing Sources (Secondary Sources)
* In studies, it is essential to reach primary sources, but if they cannot be reached due to some difficulties, the cited or quoted source is indicated in the reference.
Example: In Köprülü's work (as cited in Çobanoğlu, 2004).

8. Referring to a Certain Part of a Source
* When referring to a certain part of a source, the section, page, table and figure number of the item in question are indicated. When citing a source in this way, the abbreviations “s.” are used for pages and pages, “Böl.” for section, and “para.” for paragraph.
Example: (Öztürk, 2011, p. 45), (Öztürk, 2012, chap. 3), (Öztürk, 2012, Table 2), (Öztürk, 2019, para. 2),

* If there is a reference to consecutive pages in a study, a hyphen (-) is placed between the page numbers, and a comma (,) is placed if there is a reference to different pages. In English articles, the abbreviation “pp.” is used to indicate the page range.
Example: This increases the productivity of both individuals and groups (Putnam, 2000, pp. 16-19)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Example: In contrast, salep was mostly a drink for the poor and was also used to feed soldiers (Işın, 2014, pp. 23, 24, 30).
