Abstract
Abstract is one of the most important parts of the articles since it is the most published and cited in international databases. Abstract should be started with a sentence that provides an importance and aim of the study. It also containsmaterials and methods, main findings or results and a conclusion sentence for readers.It is not more than 250 words. Abbreviations or references cannot be written in the abstract.
Keywords
Keywords should be providedbetween 4 to 6 words for indexing purposes.
Introduction
Introduction should be reviewed of available literature and the similar nature works published before. It should be outlined the reason why the study was performed or the originality of study.
Materials and Methods
Materials and methods could be divided into sub-headings but headings could be used up to three levels. All materials, experiments conducted, conditions and course should be described in details. The whole methodology in the submitted manuscript should be detailed if it is original; in other cases, it is sufficient to cite the relevant reference(s) published before. Statistical methods processed in the submitted manuscript should also be described with the software used.
Results
The results obtained from the materials, experiments, and analyses should be given as figure and tables. The important findings from the results should be outlined but the irrelevant findings should not be given. Statistical evaluation and commentary should also be given without ANOVA table.
Discussion
Results section can be merged with Discussion section. Author(s) should confront own findings and results with data published by the other authors. For different results, scientific questions should be answered and discussed. The surname of the first author(s) and year of publication must be cited in Discussion section directly or indirectly. Some examples;
- In Turkey,wheat was produced 10 million tons in 1923 (Gokgol 1939).
- This result was in agreement with result of Sahin and Yildirim (2004).
- Similar effect has been widely studied prior to this study (Eser 1991; Bagci et al. 1995; Uzun and Yol 2013).
At the end of Discussion section, the conclusion sentence(s) should be presented for readers.
References
The list of references should include cited works in the text. Personal communications(Personal com. with Prof./Dr./Mr./Ms. Ucar, Ankara, Turkey, 2012) should only be mentioned in the text. The works under consideration, submitted and unpublished works should not be listed in the References section. References should be chronologically alphabetized by the surnames of the first author of each work. Some examples;
