Authors and Affiliates

Author Name 1, Author 2, Author 3 (12pt)1 Author Affiliation 1 (10pt), 2 Author Affiliation 2 (10pt)

Abstract

A well-drafted abstract allows the reader to quickly and accurately recognize the basic content of the article, determine its relevance, and decide whether to read the entire article. The abstract should be informative, fully independent, and provide a clear statement about the problem raised, the proposed approach or solution, and the main results and conclusions. Abstracts should be 75 to 200 words long, written in the past tense, and contain no literary citations. Keyword lists provide an opportunity to add keywords in addition to those already in the title. The use of the right keywords can increase the likelihood that the article will be found by interested parties (10pt).

Keywords

Written in United Kingdom. Choosing the right keywords is important for indexing purposes. Choose a maximum of 5 words to make it easier to identify and cite articles.

Introduction

The introduction is different from a short and concise abstract. Readers need to understand the background of your research and, most importantly, why it is important. What are the main questions you want to answer? Why should readers be interested? The purpose of the introduction is to interest the reader and provide relevant background information so that the reader can understand the entire article. Avoid making the introduction a mini-literature review. The introduction should be concise, structured, and include all the important information necessary to follow up on your findings.

Method

The Methods section explains in detail how research is conducted in order to (1) allow readers to evaluate the work done and (2) facilitate the reproduction of research. You should explain exactly what is done, the equipment, materials, time, and reasoning behind each method used. This section should be balanced between short and detailed.

Results and Discussion

This section describes the research findings, interpretations, and implications of those findings. The discussion is the core of the article that connects the findings to the literature reviewed and the research questions posed in the introduction. Make sure to stay focused on the main message and not repeat the results.

Conclusion

The conclusion should answer the research objectives and show how the results of the research develop knowledge in the field. Don't repeat the abstract or just present the results of the experiment. Instead, provide a clear scientific justification for your research and indicate possible applications or further research.

Thank You (if any)

Thank anyone who helped with the research, such as material providers, programs, or critical comments. Include the source of funding, including reference numbers, and avoid naming the author as the recipient of the thank you.

Reference

References must follow the format set forth in the APA 6th Publication Manual. Make sure all references mentioned in the text are listed in the reference list and vice versa. We recommend using EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, or EasyBib software to make citation management easier.

Page Restrictions

The full manuscript should not be more than 7000 words, with a maximum of 15 pages and a minimum of 6 pages, including references, tables, and pictures (Appendices are not counted).
