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:
