7- The text of the article should not exceed 10,000 words and should be written in MS Word programme and Times New Roman font.

8- Subheadings: Second level headings should be written in bold and lower case letters with capitalised initials, in 11-point font, and numbered.

9- Referencing: Quotations and citations should be made according to APA referencing system.

If an oral source is used, it should include the name, surname, date and place of the interview. When electronic sources are used, the date of access must be specified.

10- Quotations: Quotations of five lines or less should be given between the lines and in quotation marks, and quotations longer than five lines should be indented one centimetre from the right and left sides of the line, in blocks, in 10 font size, single-spaced.
