• Abstract
  An abstract must be provided in English. It should summarize the research objectives, methods, main findings, and conclusions. The length is 100–150 words written in a single paragraph. Authors must include 3–5 keywords, written in lowercase and separated by commas.

• Introduction
  The introduction should present the background, problem statement, and objectives of the research. It should highlight the research gap and novelty while providing a brief review of relevant literature. The objective of the study must be clearly stated at the end of this section.

• Method
  This section should describe in sufficient detail how the study was conducted so that it can be replicated. Subsections may include:

  • Participants (subjects) and their characteristics

  • Research design (between-subject, within-subject, experimental, qualitative, etc.)

  • Procedures, instruments, and data collection

  • References to established methods and explanation of modifications made
    Authors are encouraged to organize methods systematically and clearly.

• Results and Discussion
  Results must be presented clearly and concisely, focusing on findings rather than raw data. The discussion should interpret the results in relation to the research objectives, compare them with previous studies, and highlight their novelty. Limitations, implications, and potential applications should also be addressed.

• Conclusion
  The conclusion should directly answer the research objectives and highlight the contribution of the findings. It should not simply repeat the abstract or results but instead provide justification of the study’s significance and possible directions for future research.

• References
  References must be consistent and follow proper academic citation standards. It is strongly recommended to use a reference manager such as Mendeley or Zotero. Examples of reference formatting include:
