Style Guidelines

The following rules should be observed while preparing an article for submission to the journal of “Frontiers in Energy Economics”:

1. Title of the article: The title should suit the content and express it in the best way and should be written in bold letters. The title should consist of no more than 10-12 words.

2. Name(s) and address(es) of the author(s): The name(s) and surname(s) of the author(s) should be written in bold characters, and addresses should be in normal font and italicized; the institution(s) the author(s) is/are affiliated with, their contact and e-mail addresses, and ORCID IDs should also be specified.

3. Abstract: The article should include an abstract in English at the beginning. The abstract should explain the topic clearly and concisely in a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 150 words. The abstract should not include references to sources, figures and charts. Keywords of 5 to 8 words should be placed at the end of the abstract. There should be a single space between the body of the abstract and the keywords. The keywords should be comprehensive and suitable to the content of the article.

4. Body Text: The body of the article should be typed on A4 (29/7x21cm) paper on MS Word (.docx format) in 11 pt Cambria font using single spacing. Margins of 2,5 cm should be left on all sides and the pages should be numbered. Articles should not exceed 8.000 words excluding abstract and bibliography. Passages that need to be emphasized in the text should not be bold but italicized. Double emphases like using both italics and quotation marks should be avoided.

5. Section Titles: The article may contain main and subtitles to enable a smoother flow of information. The main titles (main sections, bibliography and appendices) should be fully capitalized while the sub-titles should have only their first letters capitalized and should be written in bold characters.

6. Tables and Figures: Tables should have numbers and captions. Horizontal lines should be used only to separate the subtitles within the table. Tables can be single-spaced and the font size should be 10 pt. The table number should be written at the top, fully aligned to the left, and should not be in italics. The caption should be written in italics, and the first letter of each word in the caption should be capitalized. Tables should be placed where they are most appropriate in the text. Figures should be prepared in line with black-and-white printing. The numbers and captions of the figures should be centered right below the figures. The figure numbers should be written in italics followed by a full stop. The caption should immediately follow the number. The caption should not be written in italics, and the first letter of each word should be capitalized. Below is an example table.

7. Pictures: Pictures should be attached to the articles scanned in high-resolution print quality. The same rules for figures and tables apply in naming pictures.

The number of pages for figures, tables and pictures should not exceed 10 pages (one-third of the article). Authors having the necessary technical equipment and software may themselves insert their figures, drawings and pictures into the text provided these are ready for printing.

All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

8. Quotations and Citations: Direct quotations should be placed in quotation marks. Quotations shorter than 2.5 lines should be placed within the flowing text. If the quotation is longer than 2.5 lines, it should be turned into a block quote with a 1.5 cm indentation on the right and left, and the font size should be 1 point smaller. Footnotes and endnotes should be avoided as much as possible. They should only be used for essential explanations and should be numbered automatically.

Citations within the text should be given in parentheses as follows:

(Koprulu, 1944: 15)

When sources with several authors are cited, the surname of the first author is given and ‘et al.’ is added.

(Gokay et al., 2002: 18)

If the text already includes the name of the author, only the date should be given:

In this respect, Tanpinar (1976: 131) says …

Please, use UK English in your manuscript.

 

9. Math formulae: Mathematical expressions, formulations, and equations should be written using MathType. All formulas and equations should be numbered. Equations must be numbered consecutively on the right margin. Please submit math equations as editable MathType text and not as images. Use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms such as X/Y. Present variables in italics. Below is an example equation.
