    - Consists of 100–200 words.
    - Must include background, objectives, methods, results/findings, and conclusions.
  • Keywords: Consist of 3–5 words or phrases.
  • Introduction:
    - Describes the background conditions or problems motivating the research.
    - Includes supporting data from relevant prior studies.
    - Must clearly present the state of the art and gap analysis.
    - The final paragraph must explicitly state the research objectives.

  • Interpretation and critical analysis must be fully integrated into the Results and Discussion section, which should be the most comprehensive part of the manuscript.
  • The proportion of content across sections must be balanced and aligned with the research methodology.

Methodological Description

  • The Methods section must describe the research design and procedures in detail.
  • Each stage of the research must be explained step by step.
  • A flow diagram must be included to illustrate the research stages.
  • The Methods section must not include:
    - Definitions
    - Concepts
    - Theoretical explanations
    - Reviews of prior studies

Results and Discussion

  • This section must present research findings clearly and systematically.
  • The discussion should critically compare the results with:
    - Relevant theories, and/or
    - Findings from previous related studies.
  • Tables, figures, and charts may be used to support explanation and enhance clarity.
  • The discussion must demonstrate analytical depth rather than descriptive narration.

Tables, Figures, and Equations

  • Tables:
    - Must be clear, concise, and not exceed one page.
    - Must not be presented as images.
    - Each table must have a title placed above it.

    - Each table must be cited in the text prior to its appearance.
  • Figures:
    - Must include captions placed below the images and must be sufficiently descriptive and representative of the figure content.
  • - Must be clear, legible, and have sufficient color contrast.
    - Each figure must be explained in the text.
    - Figures must be numbered sequentially (1, 2, 3, etc.) and cited before appearance.
    - Figures must serve a scientific communication purpose rather than a decorative one. Authors should ensure that figures are concise, technically accurate, and free from unnecessary visual embellishments.
    - Infographic-style illustrations, excessive graphical effects, and overly complex layouts are discouraged unless they provide substantial value to the scientific interpretation of the study.
    - Figures should be designed to maintain readability and clarity in both digital and print formats.
  • Equations:
    - Must not be presented as images.
    - Must be created using the equation editor in MS Word.
