Abstract

The abstract must be written in English and should contain the key issues, research objectives, methods or approaches, and results. It should be written in a single paragraph with a maximum of 250 words, including: background, purpose, methodology, findings, and conclusion. Use Times New Roman, 10 pt, single spacing, and italics.

Keywords

Provide a maximum of 5 keywords in English that are clear and specific. Keywords should be separated by semicolons (;).

INTRODUCTION

Your purpose statement is a great starting point. The introduction should outline the aims of your paper, as well as describe why the topic is important and what it contributes to the body of knowledge. You should also provide background to the research project, highlight the structure of the paper, and explain what made you decide to research this topic/write the article.
What is an ideal word count for an introduction?
This will depend on the length of your paper, the discipline you are working in, and the journal you’ve chosen to submit to. Generally, it’s good to be concise – it’s important the introduction doesn’t overwhelm the rest of your paper. At the same time, you want to give the reader enough information to understand why the work is important – after all, this is your opportunity to convince them to read on.
In general, the introduction presents the background of the chosen theme or title of the article, the significance of the discussion in this article and the systematics of the article in general. The introduction to the bibliography is written in one column. For the sake of mutual convenience, the article writing pattern should follow the instructions presented in this template. Articles should be between 5000 and 7000 words in length.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH MODEL
Theoretical background contains a critical review of existing literature that supports the main theme in the discussion of this article. This sub-chapter should be able to conclude that the topic in this article was chosen based on a careful and in-depth literature review. In-text citation refers to the APA pattern (www.apastyle.org). Citations should be written with the help of reference software (Mendeley, End Note, Zotero, etc.). A research model is a framework or structure that helps organize and understand the various aspects of a research topic. Hypotheses are written in each discussion of the influence between variables.

ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
This section presents the research results and discussion of the research results. Various implications, both theoretical and practical, should be presented here.

DISCUSSION
As with the methodology, focus on the essentials, the main facts and those with wider significance. Don’t go into great detail about each statistic in your results.
Again, you want to tell a story and explain it in the most logical order. What are the really significant facts that emerge? For example, findings that further understanding in the field, those that differ from previous findings, and any unexpected results.
Consider presenting key facts in tables or graphs or using images to explain your findings. See your chosen journal’s Author Guidelines for information on how these should be formatted, used and displayed. This section on results may include a discussion of the significance of the findings.

CONCLUSION
This section presents the research conclusions, research limitations, and future research agendas. The conclusion should summarise the main state of play at point of writing and consider the next steps.
Summarise and conclude, restating the main argument, and presenting key conclusions and recommendations. State how your findings/new framework can be applied in practice. Explain what the implications are for further research. Say to what extent your original questions have been answered
Highlight the limitations of your research.

REFERENCES

The reference list must follow the APA Style (www.apastyle.org) and be arranged alphabetically. Only references cited in the text should be included in the reference list. It is recommended to use reference management software (e.g., Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero)
