Discussion

The discussion interprets the significance of the results rather than repeating them (a combined Results–Discussion is acceptable). Begin with a brief summary of the main scientific findings. Address: (1) how results relate to the original questions/objectives (what); (2) scientific interpretation of each result (why); (3) consistency with prior studies or meaningful differences (what else). Avoid excessive citations of published literature.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTION

Conclusions should answer the research objectives and explain how the work advances current knowledge. Do not repeat the abstract or merely list results. Provide scientific justification and indicate possible applications or extensions. Suggest future work where relevant.

Acknowledgements

Present acknowledgements without revealing author identity prior to peer review.

REFERENCES

Provide a minimum of 20 references. At least 13 references should be from the last five (5) years, and ≥60% should be journal articles. Use a reference manager (e.g., Mendeley).
