In this regard, authors should refrain from submitting articles that have been published elsewhere, either in whole or in substantial part, and manuscripts that are concurrently either sent to the other journal publisher or in the process of review by other editorial boards. The scholarly manuscripts may take the form of original research articles. The following passage may serve as a brief summary of the manuscript template.
Article body is written in 5000-7000 words, Times New Roman 12 pt., 1.5 spacing, on A4 size paper (upper, left, right and bottom margin arrangements of 3.0 cm), in Microsoft Word (doc or .docx).

The author should outline his/her article systematically. See the specified manuscript template for the original research article.

If the author’s name is not mentioned, put the author’s last name, publishing year and page quoted in parentheses. See the example:
Further, another opinion says, “…,” (van Klinken 2007, p.16).
When citing the opinion of two or more sources written by one or more persons, include the author’s last name and the year of publication in order of the year of issue and included in parentheses. See the example:
