Abstract
Written briefly in English in one paragraph of 150-200 words, containing background,
research objectives, methodology, results, conclusion of the study and your research
contributions to science.
Keywords
Written in English 3-5 words or groups of words, written alphabetically.
Introduction:
The introduction should establish the current knowledge landscape, identify the existing
gaps, and argue the necessity of addressing these gaps. It should outline the general and
specific issues encountered, reference pivotal studies, highlight unexplored areas (research
gap), and elucidate the proposed solutions and the importance of the research. The section
concludes by clearly stating the research objectives and the anticipated benefits to both the
scientific community and society. The introduction is presented in the form of paragraphs
of approximately 1000 words or one and half pages.
Methods:
This section should detail the procedures and techniques used in the research in a
systematic and step-by-step manner. It should focus exclusively on the processes employed
to meet the research objectives, without delving into theoretical explanations.
Results:
The results section should present the findings that directly respond to the stated research
objectives, structured clearly to demonstrate how the outcomes address the goals set out in
the research.
Discussion:
The discussion should interpret the results, detailing how they contribute to filling the
identified gaps. It should provide a critical and in-depth analysis of the outcomes, supported
by current references, and discuss the novelty and implications of the findings. The
discussion should also connect the results to the broader problems and potential
applications in the field.
Conclusion:
The conclusion should succinctly respond to the research objectives, based on the findings
and discussions. It should summarize the research contributions to the scientific field in a
coherent narrative, highlighting what these findings imply for future research and practical
applications, all presented in a single paragraph.
Acknowledgement
Contributors who are not mentioned as authors should be acknowledged, and their
contribution should be described. All sources of funding for the work must be
acknowledged, both the research funder and the grant number (if applicable) should be
