Introduction
The introduction is systematically composed of three sections, which can be subdivided into several paragraphs as needed. The first section encompasses the background, context, and motivation for undertaking the research. This segment provides a detailed description of the problem, supported by quantitative data or other references.
The second section involves identifying research gaps through a discussion related to previous studies. Here, it is essential to present the state of the art concerning the topic under study by citing relevant literature. In this segment, a synthesis of at least five of the most recent and closely related literatures should be carried out. Subsequently, identify the research gaps and declare the novelty of the study by detailing the differences and advancements made. Note: For research ideas focusing on real-case issues or practical problems, DO NOT include a detailed description or explanation about the system under study in the Introduction. Instead, elaborate on this in the Methods section.
The third section contains the formulation of the research problem and the goals or objectives to be achieved through this study. Additionally, it should outline the scholarly and practical contributions expected from the research outcomes.
Literature Review
This section contains the theoretical underpinnings vital for the research. The Literature Review is optional and is typically arranged for articles in the form of reviews, model developments, and case studies. This section begins by explaining the scope and key theories relevant to that field, followed by a discussion of major research and their findings. This section discusses what has been done and what still needs to be addressed. Its purpose is to identify gaps in the existing literature, establish the foundation for the current study, and thus highlight the novelty of the present study.
Methods
The methods section needs to detail the approach/technique used in the research so it can be replicated and developed by other researchers. For new methods/techniques/approaches, a detailed explanation is required. For widely used methods/techniques/approaches, a brief description is sufficient, citing references where readers can find more detailed information. If modifications are made to an existing method, sufficiently explain how the modifications were made.
For research employing data collection techniques such as surveys, interviews, etc., it is important to detail the characteristics of the participants including demographic data, number of respondents, reasons for selecting the respondents, and so on.
For studies with an experimental design, provide thorough details, including the experimental procedures, characteristics of observations, etc.
Results and Discussion
This section is a mixed of results and discussion. It can be further segmented into various sub-sections and even sub-sub-sections as required. This part does not solely present results but also elucidates how these results are interpreted and what conclusions can be drawn.
Research outcomes are presented in the form of text, tables, and figures, with an emphasis on the key findings. Avoid excessive presentation of raw data and computational results acquired from step-by-step procedures across numerous tables and/or figures. Instead, consolidate these findings into a single concise and meaningful table/figure and draw conclusions from them. Detailed results or raw data can be showcased in the Appendix section, limited to a maximum of four pages.
The discussion should interpret the significance of the main results/findings, rather than merely reiterating them. This discussion should correlate with relevant prior research or literature, indicating whether the results support or contradict them, and provide an explanation. This section should also incorporate the implications of the research findings for both the academic and practitioner domains.
Tables and Figures
Tables
Each table in the article should be numbered sequentially according to its appearance. For example, Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc. All table numbers should be referenced within the content of the article. The table captions use a font size of 10, while the content within the table uses a font size of 9.
The table should be placed close to its first mention in the article. All text within the table should be readable. The contents of the table are accurately described in the table caption.
Figures
Figures must be original and of high quality. Each figure image in the article is numbered sequentially according to its appearance order. For example, Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc. All these figure numbers must be mentioned within the article content.
Figures should be placed close to their first mention in the article. The text within the figures should be clearly legible. The figure captions provide a detailed explanation of the figure's contents.
Lists
Bulleted list
The article can contain bullet point lists, as follows:
• List 1;
• List 2;
• List 3.
Numbered list
The article can contain numbered lists, as follows:
1. List 1;
2. List 2;
3. List 3.
Mathematical Formulas
The manuscript may contain mathematical formulas or equations, which can be written as follows:
y = ax^2 + bx + c
Equations should be numbered. The text following the equation should not be in a new paragraph.
Conclusion
The conclusion contains a clear summary of the main findings of the study and whether it achieves the research objectives. Emphasis is placed on the main discoveries (rather than detailed numerical results). Conclusions are written in narrative form, not as a list. In this section, mention any limitations of the research as well as suggestions for further development or future research related to the topic under study. Avoid citations in this section.
