Footnotes
Footnotes should only be added when absolutely necessary. Authors should attach the serial number on the upper left of the phrase and the content should be written at the bottom of the page.

- Table numbers and titles should be placed above the table, while figure numbers and captions should appear below the figure.
- All titles, captions, and labels must be written in English for English-language manuscripts.

- All data sources must be clearly cited below the table or figure.
6. IN-TEXT CITATIONS
When citing references in the main body, include the author's name and year of publication. For English-language manuscripts, use only the surname. If quoting a specific passage, include the page number. The citation order in the text should follow the same order as the references listed in the "References" section. Multiple references should be separated by a semicolon.
Examples: Lang and Stulz(1992), (Lang and Stulz, 1992), (Beyer, 1991, p.150), (Smith, 2020; Johnson et al., 2021)
For works with three or more authors: In English manuscripts, list only the surname of the first author, followed by "et al." and the year.
Example: Beyer et al.(2024)
7. REFERENCES
After the main body of the manuscript, a separate section must be included for references. All references should be listed on a new page immediately following the conclusion of the paper. All entries must be written in English and arranged alphabetically by the first author's surname.

For any formatting issues not explicitly addressed in these guidelines, authors must follow the APA 7th Edition style.
