Abstract

The abstract should be informative and self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should be 120 to 250 words in length. Complete sentences should be used when writing the abstract. The methods used, and the results obtained presented in the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used, and abbreviations should be avoided. While the abstract is conceptually divided into four sections (introduction/background, materials and methods, results/principal findings, and conclusions/significance), do not apply these distinct headings to the abstract within the article file. No literature should be cited. Following the abstract, five keywords that will provide indexing references should be listed.

Introduction

**Special description of the title. (dispensable)

The Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

 

Literature Review

The Literature Review section in a scientific article aims to review relevant theories, concepts, and previous research related to the topic being discussed. Here, the author presents an understanding of the development of theories and methods used in previous studies, as well as the results that have been found. Additionally, this section identifies gaps or weaknesses in previous research, whether in terms of methodology, research subjects, or conclusions. The literature review also highlights how the current study can address these gaps and contribute new insights. In conclusion, the literature review provides a strong theoretical foundation and justifies the importance of the research being conducted.

 

Materials and Methods

Experimental procedures should be given in sufficient detail to allow these to be replicated by other researchers. The source of the various reagents and materials used in the study should be given, where possible. Capitalize trade names and include the name and address of the manufacturers. Subheadings should be used. Methods, in general use, need not be described in detail.

 

Results

The results section should provide details of all of the experiments that are required to support the conclusions of the article. There is no specific word limit for this section, but details of experiments that are peripheral to the main thrust of the article and that detract from the focus of the article should not be included. The results should be written in the past tense when describing the experiment findings. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense. The section may be divided into subsections, each with a concise subheading. Results should be explained, but largely without referring to the literature. Discussion, speculation, and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the results section but should be included in the discussion section.

Discussion

This section should present a comprehensive analysis of the results in light of previous research. The present tense may be used when discussing the results. The Results and Discussion sections can include subheadings, and when appropriate, both sections can be combined.

 

Conclusion, Limitation, And Future Research

The Conclusion, Limitation, and Future Research section should include a summary of the main findings of the study, explain the contribution of the research to the field being studied, and present the practical implications of the results obtained. Additionally, this section acknowledges the limitations of the research, such as a limited sample or the methods used, which may affect the validity and generalizability of the results. The author then provides recommendations for future research, identifies areas that still need further exploration, and suggests methodological approaches or techniques that can be used to deepen the understanding of the topic under investigation. Overall, this section provides an overview of the steps that can be taken to address the limitations and further develop the research.

 

Acknowledgements

The authors should first acknowledge the funding source for the research presented in their article, followed by any personal credits. The acknowledgment should be brief.

 

References

Follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, e.g., (Giambastiani, 2007), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.

Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.

 

Basic Rules

• All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented 0.3 cm from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
• Authors’ names are inverted (last name first); give the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work for up to and including seven authors. If the work has more than seven authors, list the first six authors and then use “et al.” after the sixth author’s name. 
• Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
• If you have more than one article by the same author, single-author references or multiple-author references with the exact same authors in the exact same order are listed in order by the year of publication, starting with the earliest.
• Capitalize all major words in journal titles.
• Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of works such as journal articles or essays in edited collections.

For example, the 1st reference (Bonoti & Metallidou, 2010) is for a journal paper, (Klatzky, 1998; Cui & Cui, 2004) are for conference proceedings, (Fisher, Aron, & Brown, 2006) is for transactions, (Helfer, Keme, & Drugman, 1997) is for a book, (Giambastiani, 2007) is for a thesis, (Marcinkowski & Rehring, 1995) is for a report, (Singh et al., 2017) is respectively for chapter and article in edited books, (Grudin, 1990) is for an article in proceedings, (American Psychological Association, n.d.) is for an article from internet, (Wright & Wright, 1906) is for a patent.

Please completely normalize your references as the following format. Please retrieve Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for journal articles, books, and chapters by simply cutting and pasting the reference list at https://doi.crossref.org/simpleTextQuery. Preserve hyperlinks and underlines in DOIs.

Figures and Tables

Positioning Figures and Tables: Figures/tables should be placed in the same position as it is referenced in the main text. Oversized figures/tables may be arranged at the top or bottom of the page. Figure captions should be below the figures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use “Figure 1”and “Table 1” in bold fonts, even at the beginning of a sentence.

 

Table 1. Table type styles (Table caption is indispensable).

Table Head	Table Column Head
	Table column subhead	Subhead	Subhead
copy	More table copya

1. Sample of a Table footnote (Table footnote is dispensable).

Figure 1. Example of a figure caption (figure caption).

 

Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As an example, write the quantity “Magnetization”, or “Magnetization, M”, not just “M”. If including units in the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A·m–1)”, not just “A/m”. Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K)”, not “Temperature/K”.
