Manuscript Structure

Required Structure and Content

Manuscripts must be organized systematically. Each section must serve a clear function and demonstrate the relationship between the research problem, method, findings, discussion, and conclusion.

Title The title must be concise, specific, and accurately reflect the main content of the article. Avoid overly general titles and unnecessary phrases such as “A Study of” or “An Analysis of” unless essential.
Abstract The abstract should be self-contained and informative. It must include the research problem, objective, method, key findings, and conclusion. The recommended length is 100–250 words, followed by 5–6 keywords.
Introduction The introduction must present the research background, problem statement, and research objective. It must also include a discussion of previous studies, a clear gap analysis, and the novelty of the manuscript. Authors should explain how the study differs from, responds to, or advances existing research.
Method The method section must explain the research design, data sources, participants or corpus, data collection techniques, analytical procedures, and research instruments where applicable. Authors must clearly state the reason for using the chosen method and explain why it is appropriate for answering the research questions or achieving the research objectives.
Results The results section must present findings that correspond directly to the research objectives and research questions. Data may be presented through narratives, tables, figures, or diagrams, but each finding must be explained clearly and systematically.
Discussion Before the conclusion, authors must provide an analytical discussion that interprets the findings. The discussion must compare the results with previous studies and relate them to relevant theories or conceptual frameworks. Authors should explain whether the findings support, extend, revise, or challenge existing scholarship.
Conclusion The conclusion must answer the research questions directly and summarize the main findings without repeating the discussion. It should include theoretical or practical implications, acknowledge research limitations where necessary, and provide recommendations for future research or policy development.
References References must follow APA Style 7th Edition and should be managed using reference management tools such as Mendeley. Authors should prioritize relevant, recent, and credible academic sources, especially journal articles, proceedings, and scholarly books.
