Guide for Writing Papers

 

1. The paper must have a title page, which includes the title of the paper, instructor’s name, course, date, and student’s name.

2. The pages of the paper must be numbered, excluding the title page. Use one-inch (2.54 cm) margins all around. Always double-space between lines.

3. The type must be of sufficient quality and size that it can be easily read (12 point Times New Roman is preferred). Use the same type size and style throughout (except for bold or italics meant to emphasize a word or phrase).

4. Grammar and spelling must be correct. Use a dictionary or “spell-check”. Remember, a spell-check program catches only typographical errors. It will not catch homonyms such as “their”, “they’re”, and “there”, nor will it catch misused words, such as “disinterested” when you mean “uninterested”.

5. Paragraphs must be used appropriately. A paragraph is meant to express a complete thought or idea. All sentences within the paragraph must be related to the single unifying idea. Three or four paragraphs per page are normal. Start a new paragraph when you start a new idea or shift to a new subject.

6. Avoid plagiarism. It refers to presenting the words and actions of others –whether established authors or your peers – as if they were your own. It means you have quoted or summarized something without attributing it to the appropriate source. You must acknowledge the source, either through an appropriately structured quotation or by paraphrasing and citing the material. Ethics, as well as the laws of copyright, requires authors to identify their sources, particularly when quoting directly from them.

7. As the notation system, use “footnote” which means that the reference should be placed at the bottom of the page. The first footnote reference to a source should contain all the bibliographic information necessary to identify it. The second and subsequent references to a particular source may be abbreviated by using Latin abbreviations such as ibid and op. cit. Ibid is the abbreviation of ibidem and means “in the same place”. You use ibid for a reference entry when the citation is the same as the previous footnote. If the page number is different, you include the page number of the new entry after ibid. It saves you writing out the full reference again; for example:

  1. Kramer, Heinz. “Turkey and the EU: EU’s Perspective”, Insight Turkey, Volume 8, Number 4 (October-December, 2006), p. 25
  2. Ibid.
  3. Ibid., p.86.

Op. cit. is an abbreviation of opera citato that means “in the work cited”. It is used together with the author’s name and page number when the full reference has already been cited. For example:

  1. Kramer, Heinz. “Turkey and the EU: EU’s Perspective”, Insight Turkey, Volume 8, Number 4 (October-December, 2006), p. 25
  2. Inalcik, Halil. Turkey and Europe in History, Istanbul, Eren Press, 2006), p.183.
  3. Kramer, op.cit., p. 97
  4. Inalcik, op.cit., p. 185.

 

8. At the end of the paper, you must include a complete listing of all sources used in the essay. It should include only works referred to in the text and should be titled: References. References should be listed in alphabetical order, according to the author’s last name. For multiple authors of same publication, first author is last name first; subsequent authors are first name first. Include the following information: author’s or editor’s name(s); title; editor or translator, where applicable; edition (if not the first); volume number, where applicable; series title, where applicable, facts of publication (city, publisher, date); page numbers (only for footnotes in the article).
