• CONCLUSIONS: The most important results of the research are presented in the conclusions used to answer the objectives, hypotheses, and other findings during the study. The conclusion is not a repetition of the abstract but elaborates on significant research results. The conclusions contain suggestions which are the implications of further research.

The font size of the table title is 10 with spaces 1 and capital letters at the beginning of the sentences. The table is given a number according to the description in the text. The use of comma (,) and dot (.) in the table indicates the value of fraction/ decimal and roundness of a thousand. Table descriptions are placed under the table. The table should be in MS Word format. Tables can be uploaded using a separate file (supplementary materials) by giving mark table positions on the manuscript. The table does not use vertical lines. The horizontal line lies in the top column heading, subheadings, and at the end of the table (the closing table).

To make it easier and keep a consistency of citation and bibliography writing, it is necessary to use free downloadable applications such as Mendeley (https://www.mendeley.com/download-mendeley-desktop/). The references are arranged according to the author's name alphabet. Eighty % of the literature is published in the last 10 years and 80% comes from primary reference sources, except for textbooks of certain sciences.
