Submission Guidelines

ABOUT ABSTRACT

The abstract is a short and concise description of the article. When the abstract is considered independently of the article, it should form a meaningful whole on its own. It is very important to write an effective abstract because the abstract is the section where the readers will get the first idea. DIU editors decide whether to continue reading your article by reading the abstract first.

WHAT SHOULD THE ABSTRACT CONTAIN

Considering that every research starts from a problem, it will be useful to start the abstract by mentioning what the problem at hand is. The motivation to do the research and write the article in connection with the problem can be indicated in one sentence. This is often a statement of your starting point for research and is the basis for explaining your purpose. Then, the purpose of the research should be revealed. The purpose statement should be given in a clear and understandable manner in line with the overall article. What has been done and which methods and analyzes have been used to achieve this goal should be briefly mentioned. It should be briefly pointed out that what was achieved at the end of the research and what the obtained findings mean are discussed in the article. Again, the summary can be concluded with a sentence that mentions the contribution and importance of the research results to the field.
