- TITLE
The author should strategically construct the title in order to provide sufficient information to enable potential readers to make an informed judgement regarding the possible relevance of the article. - AUTHOR (S)
Please provide the names of the authors, together with their entire postal addresses for their affiliations, and the email address of the corresponding author. - ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS
The abstract should serve as a good literary supplement to the scientific report, catering to the requirements of both researchers and information specialists. The recommended maximum word count for the abstract is 250 words for full-length papers and 75 words for notes and brief pieces. The recommended practise is to include indexing keywords at the conclusion of the abstract. - INTRODUCTION
It is advisable to maintain concise introductions. Effective introductions should encompass many key elements. Firstly, it is crucial to provide a concise statement regarding the problem that serves as the rationale for undertaking the research or the hypothesis upon which it is grounded. Secondly, the introduction should acknowledge and address the existing findings of previous researchers that will be either challenged or expanded upon in the current study. Lastly, it is essential to elucidate the overall methodology and objectives of the research in order to provide a clear understanding of the study’s direction and purpose. The objective of the introduction should be to stimulate and engage the reader. - METHODOLOGY
This section provides comprehensive information pertaining to the materials used, procedures employed, experimental design implemented, and the environmental conditions in which the study was conducted. Adequate information should be included in order to enable the reader to replicate the experiments. The methods section can be organised in a chronological sequence, a succession of techniques, or other approaches that will best facilitate the reader’s understanding. - RESULTS
In order to enhance comprehension of the findings, it is recommended to employ visual aids such as tables, graphs, diagrams, and/or photographs. These visual representations will facilitate a lucid interpretation of the data. Extensive discussion of the data shown in graphics and tables is not necessary in the text; however, it is important to highlight noteworthy discoveries. Demonstrate the attainment of the stated objectives. The outcomes should be interconnected. - DISCUSSION
In the discussion section, the author evaluates the significance of the findings. Demonstrate how the obtained outcomes offer a resolution to the predicament outlined in the introductory section or specified as the target. This study aims to establish connections between its findings and prior research, elucidating both the similarities and discrepancies that exist. This study holds considerable significance and carries important implications within its respective field. It is crucial to recognise the potential future advances that may arise as a result of this research. It is imperative to refrain from providing justifications for unforeseen outcomes and experimental failures. It is imperative to engage in clear and equitable discussions regarding contentious matters. When there are discrepancies between current findings and prior research, it is imperative to provide a thorough explanation for these variations. - CONCLUSION (optional)
Many academic papers include a part dedicated to summarising the main findings and implications of the study, commonly referred to as the conclusion section. This encompasses all notable findings that have been derived from the conducted research. It is imperative to meticulously choose the wording of these statements in order to minimise any potential misinterpretation by the reader. In the context of scholarly discourse, it is frequently deemed advantageous to incorporate conclusions within the discussion portion. Nevertheless, in instances where a paper is extensive and intricate, it can be beneficial to provide a condensed overview of the findings in a distinct section. - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
