2020
1. Intendment

This guide aims to provide a standard in accordance with the scientific writing rules in master's and
doctoral thesis prepared in the departments of Uskudar University Institute of Sciences. Candidates
who will prepare master's and doctoral thesis must comply with the standards specified in this
guide.

2. GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND WRITING PLAN

1. Paper

The paper to be used in the writing of the thesis should be high-grade white paper in the A4
standard. The entire thesis must be printed using just one side of the paper.

2. Typing Medium

The thesis should be written using an improved word processing program (such as Microsoft Word,
MacWrite).

3. Nature of Writings

In writing of the thesis, should be used, a font character of Times New Roman in 12 point and
black color. Footnotes, charts, and tables can use 10 or smaller points. Dark, italic, dark-italic,
and underline can be used in places where the emphasis is desired in the text. A character space
must be left after punctuation marks in all text. All writing must be in black. A character space
should be left after all kinds of punctuation, no spaces before punctuation.

4. Margins and Page Layout of Pages

In thesis writing, a space of 3.5 cm should be left from the left edge of the paper; and 2.5 cm from
the upper and lower sides of the paper. Doctorate theses should start with 4 cm from the left edge
of the paper. All written sections must be within the specified typing field. Typed text should be
arranged aligned to both sides of the page. Words should not be divided at the end of the line, there
should be at least two lines of writing after the title or subheadings that come to the end of the
page. The text should be blocked on the left edge and right edge.

5. Line Spacing and Paragraphs

The standard line spacing to be used in the writing of text must be set to 1.5. In writing
descriptions of figures and charts 1 full line spacing should be used. Lines except for
date and institution abbreviations should not begin with numbers, abbreviations,
symbols, and symbols. In numbers larger than four digits, by thousands of the numbers
spaces should be left (Example: 5320 people, 102 500 boxes), dots should be used in odd
numbers (Example: 1015.25). Paragraphs must start from within 7 characters. A half-
line (0.5 cm) space between paragraphs should be given. This topic is important in terms
of reading the thesis and perceiving paragraphs separately from each other. Summary,
Abstract, Thank You, Table of Contents, Index of Figures, Index of Charts, Index of
Icons and Abbreviations, Resources, Forms, and first-degree chapter titles should start
from a new page and double line spacing should be left after the headings. 1.5 line spacing
should be left before and after the second and third-degree chapter titles.

6. Main and Intermediate Headings

When creating sections and subsections in the thesis, unnecessary detail should not be
entered and the subsections should be sorted in a logical string. The first-degree section
titles should be the same as the font type and font size used in the writing of the thesis
and should be written in capital letters. In the second and third-degree subsection
headings, the first letter of each word that constitutes the title should be capitalized and
the other letters should be in lowercase. All letters of conjunctures such as "and", "or",
"with" used in second and third-degree titles should be in lowercase. Chapter headings
should be 14, all other titles must be 12 points and in dark color. Section title further than
the third degree should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If a section title further
than the third degree is to be used when necessary, the first letter of the first word of the
title must be capitalized and again a dark color character should be used. The following
is an example of an enumeration of sections and subsections. Example:

1. MAIN TITLE
1.1. First Subheading
1.1.1 Second Subheading
1.1.2 ..................
1.1.1.1. Third Subheading
1.1.1.1.A. Further subheading
1.1.1.1.B. ................

7. Expression

As clear as it is possible, simple, and easy to understand in the narration; a pure and
scientific Turkish should be used in accordance with the rules of writing. A third-party,
passive form of expression should be preferred in the narration. The connection between
sentences and paragraphs should be done well, not disconnected from irrelevant
expressions. Sentences should not begin with numbers. The use of foreign words that
have not been adapted into Turkish should be avoided in the narration. Punctuation
should be used in place. Writing should be based on the latest edition of the Turkish
Language Association spelling guide.

8. Symbols and Abbreviations

Abbreviations other than the standards for accepted abbreviations and symbols should
be avoided. Abbreviations can be made using initials for commonly used terms
consisting of multiple words. In this case the open name must be written in the first place
where the term is first passed and should be abbreviated into brackets [for example;
Rheumatoid Arthritis (R.A)], then the abbreviation of the term every passage should be
used.
Abbreviated terms must be specified in the index of symbols and abbreviations.
Example: Like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
9. Figures, Pictures, and Tables

All kinds of charts, drawings, charts, diagrams except tables are called "figures“; only
photos are called ”pictures". Figures, images, and tables should be located on the first
page in the text or on the following page, without disturbing the page layout; their size
should not move to exceed the text block frame. Figures, pictures, and tables that are
narrower than a block of text should be placed in a way that fully centers the text block.
Several figures, pictures, and tables related to each other can be given on the same page.
Tables and figures should be referred to before their placement into the text. Related
descriptions should be included after the table and the figures.

Tables and figures should be clear and legible and numbered in order of the passage in
the text [e.g.; Table 1: (Name of the table); Figure 3: (Name of Figure)]. The table or
figure title built up in this way should be written in bold and plain writing, at the top, with
a single line spacing and Times New Roman size of 10 points, leaning to the left with only
the first letter of the first word capitalized. The text should be continued by leaving a row
of spaces after the table or form.

If the table and figure have a source, it must be written with the same rule under the table
and the figure.
In figures/pictures/tables that hold more than one page, the figure/picture/table number and
description should be placed on each page and the phrase (continued) should be placed in
parent brackets.
The source must be absolutely specified in the figures, pictures, and tables prepared by
taking directly from other sources or using other authors conceptually; source figure should
be written starting at one line below the bottom edge of the picture and/or table and at the
bottom left corner of the table.
In the table, cells should not be separated by vertical lines, only horizontal separator lines
should be placed. Horizontal lines should also be included at the beginning, end, and
separation of table headings from the body of the table. In the table, the sections that need
to be explained are marked with asterisks or symbols and the description can be included
as a footnote below the last line of the table.
Black-and-white photos with good contrast (contrast) should be preferred. The photos
should be placed on the computer into the thesis text through a scanner (browser) through
a scanner. If the photos are to be affixed to the thesis, the photos should be printed on thin
photo paper to prevent fluff between the thesis pages.
 10. Citations and Footnotes

Citations less than three lines can be written using typefaces with the same property as
the text. Citations of more than three lines can be written with a different typeface than
the main text. Computer programs or analysis programs can be considered as citations.
A citation from another source is shown in double quotation marks “ ”.
In the thesis, if the section taken from another source is to be transferred in the same way;
such a quote should be written in double quotation marks “.......................” with two full
spacing between the main text and two full spacings from the top and the bottom, and
without paragraph spacing. Annotations that are thought to impair spelling integrity in
the thesis text can be given as footnotes at the end of the page. No resource representation
will be made with footnotes. Footnote mark (*) is placed at the end of the sentence to be
explained and indicated at the bottom of the page. All footnotes should be separated by
a continuous fine line drawn from left to right to the middle of the page after one line
spacing is left in the main text, the mark (*) should be placed below the line and written
using 1 line spacing with a size of 10 points. A line spacing should be left between the
footnote line and the footnote text.

11. Resource Representation in Text

Each resource given within the project must be included in the source directory placed in
alphabetical order at the end of the project. A resource within the project should be
referred to by specifying the author's surname and resource date. If the resource does not
contribute to the meaning of the proposition in the text, the author's surname and date are
both shown in parentheses, and only the date is shown in parentheses if the source is part
of the proposition.
Example:
- … it has been found that (Aktan and et al. 2009) ….
- Aktan and et al. (2009), ….. they have determined that it is….
If a figure or chart-like narrative tools are taken from a source, the source must
be specified in comments such as figure captions or chart captions (Figure 1).
When referring to a source with two authors in the text, both surnames should be
written with the separator "and" (e.g. Church and Kellems, 2002), if the source is more
than two authors, the surname of the first should be written, and the other authors should
be indicated by the abbreviation "et al." (e.g., Hudcova et al., 2005).
 In the text, if several sources are referred to in parent brackets in relation to a
proposition, these sources should be separated by the sign " ; " and if these sources start
with the same author's name, they must be sorted in order of date, in alphabetical order
if they start with a different author's name. (e.g., Hudcova et al., 2005; Hudcova et al.,
2015 and Roufogalis et al., 2005). The last author's name must be written together with
the conjunction "and".

If the project text refers to several sources of the same author or group of authors
published in the same year, based on the ranking in the source section, adjacent to the
source date a, b... signs should be placed in the form and referred to together with these
signs (e.g., Hudcova et al., 2015a ve Hudcova et al., 2015b).
In the project text, the type of book should be shown in a section of a source or
page range, the relevant section or page range must be shown in the Resources section
(e.g., Smith et al., 1992, s:66).
If the calculation and analysis processes in the study were performed with original
computer software, this software should be referenced in the text such as a book or an
article and should be shown in the Resources section. If the author is unknown, the name
of the copyrighted institution or organization should be written. Recent developments in
computer and communication technologies have led to the widespread, visual, auditory,
moving documents that are registered in CD-ROMs (with product numbers) or online
scientific accessible in Internet resources. Such Resources should be referenced by the
name and access date in the text and should be included in the Resources section.

12. Page Numbering

Page numbers should be written in the middle of the block of text at the bottom of the
page. Page numbers should be placed 1.5 cm inside from the bottom edge. The main
text of the thesis, which begins with Roman numerals (iv, v, vi, vii...) such as Abstract,
Thank You, Contents, Index of Figures, Index of Charts, Index of Symbols and
Abbreviations, and the introduction section, should be numbered as (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...) until
to the end of the sources. Marks such as separator and line should not be used in front
and behind page numbers.

3. EDITING THE THESIS CONTENT

3. Summary

In the summary, the subject and main purpose of the research should be specified, the method
should be defined, findings should be summarized and the main results should be specified.
The summary is a miniature of a thesis that outlines the objective, material method, and
important findings and conclusions. The source should not be given in summary writing;
should not contain equations, figures, and tables unless it is very necessary, no abbreviations
should be made.

In the summary article "made; was made; has been observed; was observed" as well as past
time modes; present progressive-tense modes such as "is made, is observed" are not used. It is
most accurate to write the summary after the other parts of the thesis are finished. The summary
text should not exceed 250 words and should best reflect the work. After the summary, one
row is spaced by "Keywords:" in bold letters, and continuing, a maximum of 5 keywords are
written in a comma. Keywords should be sorted in order of importance.

should be written in bold capital letters and centered, and "ABSTRACT" and "Keywords:"
should be written in Turkish, similar to Turkish summary and keywords, after a line of space
is left.
5. Foreword and/or Thank You

Foreword and/or Thank You Page is subject to the thesis maker's request and is not mandatory.
The foreword is the specific message the researcher wants to convey to the reader. In the
foreword, factors that have a positive or negative effect on the work can be mentioned. At the
end of the foreword, although it is not directly related to the persons who have made a direct
contribution to the thesis work and preparation, the persons and organizations who have
contributed outer of their usual task should be thanked. The title, first name, surname,
organization, and contribution of the people thanked (if any) to the organization and work in
which they are employed should be stated shortly and concisely. This section should be written
as short and concisely as possible, not to stray from science.

6. Declaration

In this section, the form in Appendix 4 should be placed on the thesis signed by the researcher.

7. Contents

Table of contents, foreword/thank you, if any; or it must be located after the declaration page. In
this section, the main and subheadings in the thesis should be included in the font, dark/light
color, and numbering as in the text. The main titles should be written in bold, and subsection
titles should not be written more advanced than the third degree. The table of contents section
should include a list of abbreviations and symbols, a list of figures, pictures, and tables, a list
of attachments, each of which must be given with a separate page top, and page numbers
should be added opposite to them.
8. Index of Figures, Pictures, and Tables

For the figures, pictures, and tables in the thesis, a list should be build up individually
numbered in one. The list of figures, pictures, and tables should be prepared in the order of
passing in the thesis and the page layout of the table of contents, and page numbers should be
added to them.

9. Icons and Abbreviations

This section should be prepared if the thesis uses very repetipet abbreviations and symbols.
Abbreviations should be avoided, except for abbreviations and symbols that are considered
standard. Before abbreviations and symbols are used, abbreviations and symbols are used in

first time. In the abbreviation and symbols section, it is shown in bulk.

TEXT PART OF THE THESIS

1. Introduction

The introduction section should consist of concise and short information that prepares the
reader directly about the subject of the thesis. It should include information about the
importance of the subject, the definition of the problem, the purpose, and hypotheses, and
explain what contribution and innovations the thesis aims to bring to the subject. The purpose
of the research is where the research problem is most embodied. The aim is not to convey the
research title exactly, but to open a well-defined title and is a summary of the achievements
that are intended to be achieved at the end of the research.
At the same time, in the research, "What?”, “Why?" and "How?" include answers to conduct
the research. If there is more than one purpose, the objectives should be written by itemizing
them. Hypotheses are the indication of the expected relationship between the variables.
Hypotheses should be established with a present progressive-tense verb.

2. General Information

In this section, theoretical approaches and literature studies related to the general structure and
resolution of the subject or problem discussed are presented in a certain systematic way. In
general, in line with the general flow of the subject, the thesis work is drilled down by going
from general to specific. In addition, literature should be given in the historical flow to be
monitored in the historical flow and to discuss the findings of the study in the past. In this
section, which is one of the most resourced sections, information should be supported by
showing as many resources as possible.

3. Materials and Methods

The main purpose of the method part is to describe the design of the study and give details in
such a way that another researcher can repeat the study. In the material and method section,
the kind, model (hypotheses/dependent-independent variables), place, time, its universe, and
method of calculating the sample should be stated. The used data, the data acquisition method,
and the statistical analysis methods should be written. If the survey was prepared by the
researcher, it should be stated “prepared by the researcher", if it was received from another
source, the source from which it was received should be indicated. Permission for the place
where the research was conducted, Ethics Committee permission, informed consent record
should be reported in this section if it has been obtained. In the material and method section,
subheadings such as kind of research, model of research, the universe, sample, statistical
analysis can be found.

4. Findings

In this section, only the findings and statistical analyses obtained by the researcher are presented,
but the source is not shown. Findings should be stated as meaningful, clear, and simple. It can
be benefited from presentation forms in tables, charts, drawings, etc. to present data in an
effective and summary format. Most of or all of the data shown in tables and figures are not
presented in the text section; only important and statistically significant findings should be
written by referring to tables or figures. This section does not include results and comments.

5. Discussion

The main purpose of the discussion is to show and emphasize the relationships between the
facts and findings observed. The discussion is where the responses of the study findings to the
research question are explained, interpreted, and compared with previous similar research
findings. Any findings not obtained from the study should not be discussed. In this section, the
findings should be monitored systematically, but important findings or results should be
discussed by comparing them with existing sources. Therefore, the Discussion section is another
section where the resource is displayed atmost together with the General Information section.
How findings and comments align (or contrast) with previously published studies have to be
shown. Findings that are not compatible with the hypothesis of the study should not be tried to
be covered up. Alternative explanations can be made about the findings, the points that cannot
be clarified can be specified separately. Comments pointing to limitations of the study or
situations that are not yet clear should be included in this section.

6. Conclusions and Recommendations

The resulting section; consists of inference, analysis, and interpretation of the findings, not a
repetition of the findings. Inferences should be clear, precise, consistent with findings, and
striking. Inferences that are not supported by the findings should not be included. If it is a clinical
trial, the applicability and benefits of inferences should be emphasized. The result(s) reached
in the thesis is/are explained by using the findings obtained. These explanations can be
supported by a variety of recommendations that will shed light on future studies. In addition,
suggestions on what kind or subject of problems that cannot be solved by research can be
included; cases, where possible further studies are required, can be briefly described together
with their reasons.
7. Resources

- The Resources section should start with the heading “Resources” in capital letters, bold and
centered, after leaving 3 line spaces blank from the upper end of the text block.
- The source section should be written in two-point lowercase letters from the main text of the
project, with an interval of 1, the paragraph interval should be selected as 1.5. The beginning
of each resource is based on the left edge of the text block, the other lines must be started from
the inside up to 7 characters or 1 cm.
- Author names should be written in uppercase letters (PEARSON AA.) in the source section.
- Article pages should be written in one kind, specifying the beginning and end pages (like 26:
110-123).
- If the name of the journal is to be shortened, the journal's own proposed, generally accepted
abbreviation should be used, individual abbreviation should not be made. Journal names must
be written in italics.
- If the source is a book, all words of the book name except conjunctions (and, or, with, etc.)
must be written in such a way that they begin with capital letters.
- Number of books printed in one type should be preferred to be written like ("2. Edition“ for
Turkish, "2nd Ed." for English).
- If a single part of a book or a specific page range is used, in the source directory, the referred
section must be specified in the form of "Chapter 6" or "Chapter 5", or in the page range of
"p.:102-120" or "p.:190-200". If from many different pages of a book is benefited, the page
should not be specified in the Resource section, but the relevant page should be specified where
it is referred to in the text
- If the book type, the editors of the source and the authors of the section to be shown are
different, the authors of the section and the name of the section should be specified first, and
then the book name and the editors. In this case, it should be preferred to write the book name
in italics or underlined.
- In the Resource section, the last names of the authors of one source should be written in full
and the initials of the other names should be written. The names of all authors should be written,
even if the Resource is multi-authored, and abbreviations such as "et al." should not be used in
the index.
- The Resource section should be sorted alphabetically according to the first author's last name.
Commas after authors' surnames and punctuation after the first name should not be used, only
commas should be used before the name of the second author (like TUNCER KA, ŞENER
KM,).
- Work(s) by a researcher, regardless of date, should be written before the same researcher's
collaborative work(s) with his friends.
- Surname order should be taken as a basis in the studies carried out by the research
group. Multiple studies by the same author or the same group of authors should be based on
publication date order. If the same authors have several studies done in the same year, to
distinguish them the date after and adjacent to the date icons such as a, b, c,... will be used.
- All documents stored on compact discs should also be displayed in the Resource section with
the [CD-ROM] note. If their author(s) are not definite, the organization name can be given
instead of the author name (Grolier Inc. … 1995).
- If a reference to an original computer software (program) is mentioned in the project,
it must also be shown in the Resource Directory and the name, date, software's name, its version,
place of formation of the producers (or organization) should be written.
- An electronic journal should be written in the format specified for the printed journal.
However, the journal name must be replaced by the [Electronic Journal] note and the internet
address should be at the end. In addition to the electronic journal, if written and/or audio and
visual documents obtained from other Internet sources are used, these documents should be
notified by specifying the date, month, and day on which this Resource is accessed. E-mail
documents between individuals can also be included in the Resource directory by providing the
e-mail addresses of the sender and the recipient. (Author or Institution name. (date, if specific,
by specifying the latest update date, month, and day). [e-mail: e-mail address of the author, if
any]. Subject heading. Access: [Internet address]. Date of access: month and day and online
access date to the document.)
