Sections

Your manuscript is organized by headings and subheadings.

For Original Research Articles, it is recommended to organize your manuscript in the following sections:

  1. Introduction

Explaining the background, problems, and importance of research, a brief literature review that relates directly to research or previous findings that need to be developed, and ended with a paragraph on research purposes. A balance must be kept between the pure and applied aspects of the subject. The introduction is presented in the form of paragraphs. 

  1. Literature Review

Literature Review contains a study of various theories that underlie the emergence of research that contains various theoretical foundations of the variables used in this study. 

  1. Methods

Contains the research methodology used (methods, data types, data sources, techniques data collection, data analysis techniques, measurement variables) written in the form of flowing paragraphs (not numbered). The equations used are arranged on separate lines and are numbered sequentially in brackets (justify) and placed on the right margin parallel to that line. 

  1. Results and Discussion

The purpose of the Results and Discussion is to state your findings and make interpretations and/or opinions, explain the implications of your findings, and make suggestions for future research. Its main function is to answer the questions posed in the introduction, explain how the results support the answers, and how the answers fit in with existing knowledge on the topic. The Discussion is considered the heart of the paper and usually requires several writing attempts.

The discussion will always connect to the introduction by way of the research questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; the discussion should always explain how your study has moved the reader's understanding of the research problem forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction.

To make your message clear, the discussion should be kept as short as possible while clearly and fully stating, supporting, explaining, and defending your answers and discussing other important and directly relevant issues. Care must be taken to provide commentary and not a reiteration of the results. Side issues should not be included, as these tend to obscure the message. 

  1. Conclusion

The conclusion is intended to help the reader understand why your research should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. A conclusion is not merely a summary of the main topics covered or a re-statement of your research problem, but a synthesis of key points. It is important that the conclusion does not leave the questions unanswered. 

  1. Acknowledgments
    This is a short text to acknowledge the contribution of certain colleagues, institutions, or agencies who aided the author's efforts.
  2. Author Contribution Statement
    Author Contribution Statements can consist of several sentences and should briefly describe the duties of each author. Please include only 2 initials for each author, without periods, but separated by commas (eg DW, SA). In the case of two authors with the same initials, please use the middle initial to differentiate between the two (eg MHZ, AIA). Author Contribution Statement must be included at the end of the manuscript before References.
  3. References

All citations in the text must be in the reference list and vice-versa. The references should only include articles that are published or accepted. Datasets that have been deposited to an online repository should be included in the reference list, including the version and unique identifier when available. For accepted but unpublished works use "in the press" instead of page numbers. Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, or personal communications should be cited within the text only, for the article types that allow such inclusions. Personal communications should be documented by a letter of permission.

In-text citations should be called according to the surname of the first author, followed by the year. For works by 2 authors include both surnames, followed by the year. For works by more than 2 authors include only the surname of the first author, followed by et al., followed by the year.
