METHODS

For research articles, research designs and methods are written concisely and clearly.
If the method (including statistical analysis) used is new or not yet commonly used, it is written in full along with the bibliography.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Articles resulting from research or cases can contain tables and figures. Each table and figure is given a number and short title according to the order of mention in the text. Images should be professionally created with sharp color prints.
If the image is obtained from another source/person or is an illustration that has already been published, it must be included in the description.
Table and figure descriptions, including the meaning of non-standard abbreviations and symbols, are written in the caption below the table or figure in question.
The discussion contains new results and discoveries that are highlighted, whether they are in accordance with, strengthen or refute previous discoveries, theories and opinions.
A thorough discussion is a cause and effect that primarily explains why and how the research results occurred, and does not just restate the results mentioned in sentence form, do not repeat them.
The discussion is accompanied by literature quoted from at least 10 articles with publication years in the last 10 years.
If there is a table, the table title is typed with lowercase letters for each word with the exception of the first word and according to the rules of the language used, the position of the table is below the table title. The contents of the table should be typed in Time new Roman 10 Pt and one space

CONCLUSION

Summing up the main results of the research. It is best to write it in paragraph form and not point by point.
Conclusions are not merely statistical conclusions, but rather interpretations after being linked to the background and objectives of the research.
Statements in the conclusion must be critical, concrete, and have a single meaning; neither vague nor mysterious.
If you include suggestions, this section should form development material for further research.

THANK-YOU NOTE

Expressions of thanks (if any) are limited to professionals and parties who have helped prepare the manuscript, including technical support, funds and facilities from an agency
