Abstract
This sample includes the manuscript preparation guideline of Journal of ETA Maritime Science (JEMS). In the abstract section, a brief indicating the novelty and main findings of the study should be written. The text of the abstract should be written fully justified, in italics and 10 pt. The section should be no more than 200 words. The number of keywords should be between 3-5.
Keywords: JEMS, Author, Manuscript, Guide

1. Introduction
Journal of Eta Maritime Science (JEMS) aims to encourage and publish research studies about the challenges and opportunities associated with considerable numbers of understandings in the maritime sector. Besides, JEMS also aims to reach out to relevant audiences by publishing the latest scientific and technological developments. JEMS journal, which is published periodically and regularly, may also publish special issues related to the selected topics. Scope of the journal covers national, international and local studies regarding Marine Engineering, Maritime Transportation Engineering, Naval Architecture Engineering, Marine Operations, Logistics, Logistics Engineering, Maritime History, Coastal Engineering, Marine Pollution and Environment, Fishing and Fisheries Technology, Shipbuilding and Ocean Engineering

2. Page Layout and Format
JEMS publishes studies conducted in English. Text is to be prepared with justified alignment, without indentation in the paragraph beginning, in “Cambria” format with 10-point font size and 1,0 line- spacing. There must be initially 6nk and then 3nk line spacing between the new launching paragraph and the previous paragraph. Worksheets must be on A4 paper size, and margins should be 4 cm from the top, 4 cm from the bottom, 4 cm from left and 3.5 cm from right.

Studies must be submitted online from the journal’s web address (http://www.jemsjournal.org). Articles printed or within CD, articles submitted by mail, fax etc., is not acceptable.
The main title of the article must be written in English and should be set centered in 12 point-size. Initially, 6nk and after 6nk space should be left before the main title.
The first letter of the primary headings in the article should be capital letters. All headings and sub-headings should be designed 10 pt, bold and located to the left with numbering, and also navy blue color should be used for sub-headings.
The use of tables and figures should be kept to a minimum. For readability purposes, the total number of tables and figures should be no more than 20 per article.

1.1 Axis Team
The table heading should be placed above the table. The figure heading should be placed below the figure. 2 nk spaces should be added before the table heading and figure heading, and also 3 nk spaces should be added next. The “table” and the “figure” should be written in bold and left-aligned. The first letters of the table, figure and equation headings should be written with capital letters. The heading and the content should be written with “Cambria” font and 10-point size. Suppose tables, figures and equations in the study are cited. In that case, their references should be stated. 2 nk spaces should be added before references, and 3 nk spaces should be added after. If tables and figures don’t fit into a single column, they should be designed to include two columns. Tables and figures which include two columns should be stated at the top or bottom of the page.

25-44 Ages Group	44.1%	43.3%	12.6%	68,038
45-66 Ages Group	25.6%	51.1%	23.4%	28,693
All Turkish Male Seafarers	47.9 %	39.6 %	12.5%	131,152
Turkish Male Population	47.3 %	39.0 %	13.7 %	-

In the article, decimal fractions should be separated with dots and numbers should be separated with commas.
Average age: 28.624
Number of participants: 1,044 people

Page numbers, headers and footers should not be added to the study. The journal administration will make these adjustments.
Authors are deemed to have accepted that they have transferred the commercial rights of their studies to the journal by submitting their studies to our journal. Submitting a study to two different journals simultaneously is not suitable within the frame of academic ethics.
It is required that the studies are original and have not been published elsewhere before. If conference and symposium papers were published in a booklet, in this case, they should be published by JEMS on the condition that the commercial rights has not been transferred to the first publishing place. The information must be given to the journal editorship about where these kinds of papers were published before.
