Author detail
Include names of authors and their affiliations. Email is required for the corresponding author only. Our journal requires that authorship be based on the following four criteria:
- Substantial contributions to the idea or method of the research; or the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data for the research; AND
- Drafting the paper or revising it for important intellectual content; AND
- Final approval of the version to be submitted and published; AND
- Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the article (and research) in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Contributors who do not meet all 4 criteria for authorship above should be listed in acknowledgment, not as authors. Therefore, contributors doing acquisition of funding; general supervision of a research group or general administrative support; and writing assistance, technical editing, language editing, and proofreading do not qualify for authorship. We require that all co-authors be added to the metadata in the third step of article submission. Otherwise, they will not be included in the article when it is published.
Abstract:
Concisely describe the content and scope of your paper and identify the objective(s), its methodology, findings, conclusions, or intended results.
Keywords:
The keywords should capture the essence of your paper. Include the most relevant keywords that will help other authors find your paper. Avoid words with very general meanings. Keywords must be presented in alphabetical order and separated by commas.
Introduction:
In this section, state your work’s objectives and provide an adequate background. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explicitly state the literature gap, which signifies your research’s significance.
When paraphrasing a source that is not your own, be sure to represent the author’s information or opinions accurately and in your own words. Even when paraphrasing an author’s work, you still must provide a citation to that work. When directly quoting an author’s work, provide citation marks at the beginning and the end of the citation and provide the page number beside the author’s name and year of publication.
Literature Review:
Include the current knowledge, substantive findings, and theoretical and methodological contributions to your topic. A literature review surveys books, scholarly articles, and any other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory and, by so doing, provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of these works about the research problem being investigated.
Method:
Provide sufficient detail to allow your work to be reproduced. This includes participants, location (if necessary), instrument(s), the technique of data collection, and the technique of data analysis. Provide a reference indicating methods already published and only relevant modifications should be described.
Results:
You may combine results and discussion section. In results section, present the results of your work. Use figures, graphs, or tables if appropriate, and summarize your main findings. Do NOT discuss the results or speculate as to why something happened because it belongs to the discussion section.
Discussion:
Highlight the most significant results, but do not repeat what has been written in the results section. The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the research problem being investigated and to explain any new understanding or insights that emerged as a result of your study of the problem.
Conclusion:
Provide the final words on the value of your analysis, research, or article. Limitations of your study should be addressed. Recommendations for future research related to your topic should also be mentioned.
Acknowledgments (optional):
Give credit to funding bodies and departments that have been of help during the project, for instance, by supporting it financially.
References:
It is strongly recommended that you cite high-quality references and from the latest publications. Citations and references should be written in APA 7th edition format. Sort the references alphabetically. Please note that all citations mentioned in the text should be listed in the references section and versa versa. Look at some examples below:
