 How to prepare the manuscript?

 Title

The paper title should indicate the novelty of the research. It should be concise and informative. It does not contain infrequently-used abbreviations. 

Abstract

The abstract (not exceed 200 words) should be clear and informative. The abstract should succinctly describe your entire paper. It consists of the aims, the method, the main results, and the conclusion. It could be added the background and the implications.

Keywords

Keywords should be well selected and closely related to the topic to facilitate the reader’s search, and they should represent the content and highlight of your article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field. There must be 3-7 keywords [phrases]. Each phrase in Keywords should be separated by a semicolon (;)

Introduction

An introduction of the paper (with a proportion of 15-20% of the whole article length) should clearly state the purpose of the paper. It includes a review of related literature and research purpose in essay style. The introduction should include key references to appropriate work. It states the significant contribution of the research. The introduction should consist of the background of the study, research contexts, literary review, and research objective (at the end of the introduction). The introduction should explicitly state the research gap and show the novelty of the research.

Method

The method section (with the proportion is 10-15% of the total article length) consists of a description concerning the research design, participants of the research, data sources, data collection (the real procedures of collecting data), and data analysis (the real procedures of analyzing data). 

Findings

The findings obtained from the research have to be supported by sufficient data. The research results and the discovery must be the answers, or the research hypothesis stated previously in the introduction part. The findings section consists of a description of the results of the data analysis to answer the research question(s). The findings should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight the differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers. This section should be explained in several subsections with a detailed explanation of the findings. 

Discussion

The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. In the discussion, it is the most important section of your article. Here you get the chance to sell your data. Make the discussion corresponding to the results, but do not reiterate the results. Often should begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings. The meanings of the findings should be shown from current theories and references of the area addressed. In the discussion section, you are comparing and contrasting the findings of the current research with those from the previous research or the supporting theories. There should be a similarity and contrast analysis. (The proportion of the Findings and the Discussion sections is 40-60% of the total article length).

Conclusion

The conclusion section consists of the summary, restatement of the main findings. It should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the author’s views of the practical implications of the result. Do not repeat the Abstract, or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You can also suggest future research and point out those that are underway.

Acknowledgment (if any)

Usually an acknowledgment to institution which funded the research or the participants who participated in the research.
