3. THE ISNAD CITATON STYLE IN-TEXT FORMAT

➢ The ISNAD In-Text Citation Format is created to be compatible with academic studies done in the field of philosophy and religious sciences.

➢ The in-text citation in the ISNAD Style is basically like the following: Author/s, publication year: page number/s.

➢ The bibliography is formatted in the same way as the ISNAD Footnote Citation Format.

➢ In the case of citing two or more works belonging to the same author and published in the same year, the letters alphabetically are added without leaving a space at the end of the publication year: (Koç, 2014a), (Koç, 2014b).

➢ Personal interviews are stated in the text but not in the bibliography: (Mustafa Koç, personal interview, December 2018).

➢ It is essential to reach the primary sources in preparing an academic writing. However, if the primary sources could not have been reached, firstly the original source and then the quoted or narrated one is cited: (Topaloğlu, 2001: 210, Demir, 2014: 50-55). The primary sources are also cited in the bibliography.
