THE JOURNAL’S WRITING STYLE

The Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences uses a writing style closely resembling the Harvard Style and the Chicago/Turabian Style. However, certain modifications and preferences make our style not identical with either of these widely used styles. The general outlines of the afore-mentioned styles can be referred to at various internet sources. You may also consult Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition for general guidance. As a practical guide to our potential authors, we have reproduced below some of the most common elements of our preferred writing style. For your convenience please follow the basic rules established below. The style of note citations should conform with the following examples:
