CRITERIA TO BE FOLLOWED IN VIDEO AND VOICE RECORDINGS
Video recordings, voice recordings and photographs together with the article, can be uploaded from the second page that comes after the text is uploaded to the system. The video and voice recordings that exceed 50 minutes, will not be accepted to the system.
Video and voice recordings will not directly be included in the article. Writers should convert the words from the article into dark colors and number those words (dark color1) with the superscript (X2) in the Word file and arrange those numbers in the Video, Voice and Photographs Cited section when they feel the necessity to support their articles with video and voice recordings.
The video, voice or photograph recordings will be written to the work cited section by their writers just as how the textual citations are done. The digital recordings cited section should be prepared by giving the information of where, when, why and by whom the recordings are formed. If the writers have benefited from their own or other people’s digital archives, that kind of bibliography should be formed:
Video, Voice and Photograph Bibliography (EXAMPLE)

2(From the Archive of Ismail Duman), the City of Sakarya, Ferizli District, A Treatment Method in Sinanoglu Town¨ 1999
Writers should not include videos, voices and photography recordings from video sharing sites unless they have to. If the video or the voice recordings is from the video sharing sites:

It will be cited as such. In this section and in the other parts of the article, the writer will not write his/her own name; instead, it will be stated as ¨personal archive¨.
Editors have the rights to not to use the video or voice recordings in the article when they see necessary (the video’s being too long, the voice quality’s being too low or the video’s being irrelevant from the subject).
If the video or the voice recordings belong to a company or an institution, the owner institution or the person should be certainly stated for to avoid any copyright infringements.
