TJFS Word Template should be used for writing manuscripts. Text in the manuscript should be typed using the 12 pt Times New Roman font size with single line spacing. Text should be fully justified. Please insert your graphics (figures, etc.) in the main text after the paragraph of its first citation.

The manuscript should have an abstract with 300 words maximum. Please add up to 5 keywords after the abstract. If the manuscript is written in English then Turkish abstract should be placed after the English abstract and vice versa.

Manuscripts must be submitted to the journal online at https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/turkjforsci. The submitting author, who is generally the corresponding author, is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. The submitting author must ensure that all eligible co-authors have been included in the author list and that they have all read and approved the submitted version of the manuscript.

The main article types in the journal are as follows:

Research Articles: Original research manuscripts. The journal considers all original research manuscripts provided that the work reports scientifically sound experiments and/or provides a substantial amount of new information. 

Reviews: These provide concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in a given area of research. 

REFERENCES / CITATIONS

References citations must follow the APA 6th edition style. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as EndNote, ReferenceManager or Zotero to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references. Include the digital object identifier (DOI) for all references where available. 

Please check the following examples:

Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association sixth edition (APA sixth edition).

Basic in-text reference examples: "We used the Cuzick and Edwards (1990) test... ... summed across all cases (Cuzick & Edwards, 1990)".

List: references should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.
