II. CITATION GUIDE
There is no uniform code of citation in Turkey. The following represents the most accepted
citation practice, but they are not adhered to by all authors.
0.1 Common Abbreviations
Common abbreviations in Turkish include article (“madde” or “m.”), paragraph (“fikra” or “f.”)
and page (“s.”)
1.0 Constitution
Cite the Constitution by title (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Anayasası) or abbreviated title (“T.C. Ana.”
or “Ana.”), and subdivision referenced (see Section 0.1):
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Anayasası Madde 3.
T.C. Ana. m.3.
Ana. m.3.
2.0 Legislation
2.1 Statutes, Laws, Regulations, Decrees
Cite statutes, laws, regulations, and decrees by short title or abbreviated title, and subdivision(s)
referenced:
Vergi usul kanunu Madde 20 fıkra 3 [Tax Procedure Code, Article 20 paragraph 3].
VUK. m. 20 f. 3.
More formally, cite a code as a whole by title, law number, followed by the official gazette in
which it is published by title, date and number, and date of enactment:
Türk Medeni Kanunu, Kanun No.: 743 R.G.: 04.04.1926 Sayı: 339, Kabul Tarihi:
17.02.1926.
