CITING SOURCES

APA 6 version was taken as basis for in-text references (citations) and bibliography writing.

In-text referencing

-Sources with single author: Citations should be given in parentheses immediately after the relevant section, using a comma "," between the surname of the author, the year of publication of the work/study and the page number, respectively. The full stop sign indicating the completion of the sentence should be placed after the parenthesis.

          Example: (Badiou, 2011, p. 102). 

If the author's name is mentioned in the relevant sentence, it is sufficient to indicate the date and page in parentheses.

          Example: Badiou (2011, p.98), ...

                      On the state, Badiou states ..... (2011, p.98).

If the author's name is mentioned in the relevant sentence, it is sufficient to indicate the date and page in parentheses

           Example: Nancy (2015, p.60), on globalization...

If the author and year of publication are given in the sentence, the author and date are not given in parentheses.

           Example: Nancy draws attention to this issue in her work published in 2018.

If the entire study is to be referred to, the surname of the author and the year of publication are written in parentheses.

           Example: The state is not simply an element of superstructure (Althusser, 2019). 

If referring to the same work for the second time in a paragraph, it is sufficient to give the surname of the author in the second one, there is no need to add the year of publication.

           Example: Ranciere (2012) distinguishes between politics and government. According to Ranciere, politics....

-References with two or more authors:  For a work with two authors, the surnames of both authors should be included in each reference. In a sentence, the surnames of the authors are connected with the conjunction "and" and the "&" sign is used in parentheses.

             Example: Dardot and Laval (2018, p. 98), on neoliberalism....

                         (Dardot & Laval, 2018, p.98)

-In references with more than two authors, the surnames of all authors are listed in the first use. When the same study is cited again, the surname of the first author and "et al.", which means "and others", are written at the end.

- In English articles, the conjunction "and" should be replaced by "and" in sentences and "&" in parentheses.

-When referring to studies with three, four or five authors, the surnames of all authors are written only in the first reference. For subsequent references, the abbreviation "et al." is used after the surname of the first author.

             Example: First reference in a paragraph: Butler, Laclau, and Zizek (2013, p. 25) argue that studies that exhibit this approach...

     Second and subsequent references within the paragraph: Butler et al. (2013, p. 25) argue that studies exhibiting this approach...

              Example: First reference in parentheses: (Butler, Laclau & Zizek, 2013, p. 25)

                          Second and subsequent references in parentheses: (Butler et al., 2004, p. 25)

-When referring to studies with six or more authors, only the surname of the first author is given.

              Example: In the sentence: Sururi et al. (1995, p. 30)

                         In parentheses: (Sururi et al., 1995, p. 30)

-In English articles, the abbreviation "et al." is used instead of "et al." when referring to studies with three, four, five, six or more authors.

-Compiled Book:

             Example: (ed. Hazan, 2010)

-Citation to Secondary Sources:

              Example: According to Badiou (1985)... (cited in Bosteels, 2014).

-More than one work by the same author of the same date:

              Example: (Nancy, 1993a)

                               (Nancy, 1993b) 

-For quotations from a journal or book of unknown authorship, the name of the journal or book should be italicized.

              Example: (Trailers, 2006)

-If the date of the work is unknown:

              Example: (Seyhan, n.d., p. 45)

-Referring to a movie in the text:

              Example: (Down By Law, 1986).

-Studies with Legal Entity Authors: If a study belongs to a legal entity (government agencies, organizations, associations, working groups, etc.), the name information should be written clearly and clearly in the reference. In some cases, the name of the legal entity may be abbreviated. If the name of the legal entity is long and has a well-known abbreviation, both the full name and the abbreviation are used in the first reference, and only the abbreviation is used in subsequent references. If the legal entity name is short and not easily understood by everyone when abbreviated, it is written without abbreviation wherever it is mentioned.

           Example: First reference in a paragraph: Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK, 2015)...

                          In subsequent references within a paragraph: TÜBI·TAK (2015)...

                  Example: First reference in parentheses: (Türk Dil Kurumu [TDK], 2012, p. 38)

                          In subsequent references in parentheses: (TDK, 2012, p. 38).

-Making References in Parenthetical Explanations

If a reference is needed during an explanation in parentheses, commas should be used for the date, not square brackets.

              Example: (For more detailed information on this subject, see Demirtaş, 2022)
