Structure Guideline

Title

  • The title should summarize the main idea or ideas of your paper; the title is within 15words maximum.

Author’s names and institutions. 

  • The author's names should be accompanied by the author's institutions, institutions address, and email addresses, without any academic titles and job title.

Abstract

  • Make sure that the abstract is informative, can stand alone, and covers the content.
  • A combination of the problem and the conclusions.
  • Maximum length according to the Journal instructions.
  • No figures or citations should be included here.

 Keywords

  • 3-6 keywords. Should be descriptive. The title words should not be repeated here.

Introduction

  • State the objective, the problem - the research question to be addressed,
  • Provide a concise background: why the work was done,
  • Quote literature only with direct bearing on the problem - not a textbook,
  • State a hypothesis – a suggested solution to the problem.

Literature Review (Optional)

  • Include the current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to your topic. A literature review surveys books, scholarly articles, and any other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory, and by so doing, provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of these works in relation to the research problem being investigated.

Method

  • Provide sufficient detail to allow your work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.

Results

  • Present the results of your work. Use graphs and tables if appropriate, but also summarize your main findings in the text. Do NOT discuss the results or speculate as to why something happened; that goes in the Discussion.

Discussion

  • Highlight the most significant results, but do not repeat what has been written in the Results section. The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the research problem being investigated and to explain any new understanding or insights that emerged as a result of your study of the problem. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate.

Conclusions

  • This is the “take-home message” of the paper. Should be short and concise.
  • Must be possible to derive from the results and discussion.
  • It is not a summary of the paper.
  • Recommendations for future research related to your topic should also be mentioned.
  • No references.

Acknowledgments (optional)

  • Give credit to funding bodies and departments that have been of help during the project, for instance by supporting it financially.

References

  • The minimum number of current studies (10 years latest) cited and listed in the REFERENCES should not be less than 25 studies taken from journal articles.
  • The citation used in the body text should be mention in the references list and vice versa
  • The references do not yet follow the latest version of APA citation style. Please use this guide to learn how to cite studies in APA’s 7th citation format: https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/apa-seventh-edition-changes/
