Structure of the Manuscripts

1. Title
   The title should be clear and informative and should not be abbreviated and not more than 14 words. Write an article title using simple and straightforward language.
2. Author's names and institutions

4. Introduction
   This section describes the background of the study, a review of previous research, gap analysis and research objectives. The important point in this section is that the authors should be able to show the importance and novelty of the research done. A review of previous research investigates the gap that will be exposed and solved. We highly advise author(s) to use current and primary sources from trusted references that published no more than 10 years. The flow of all the ideas are required to be clear, linked, well-crafted and well developed. It serves as the source of the research question and especially the base or the hypotheses that respond to the research objective. For quantitative research with hypothesis testing, write your hypothesis in the following format:
   H1: Write the formulated hypothesis
5. Methods
   This section explains how this research is conducted. This section should cover the following points: the research’s design; reasons for choosing the particular methods are well described; the sample’s design; the data collection processes; the data analysis methods are relevant.
6. Results
   This section explains the results of the study contains several subsections, for quantitative research consisting of descriptive analysis, data analysis result, research analysis (to test hypothesis-if any). For qualitative research, author(s) can directly state their research analysis without dividing it into subsections. At the end of your analysis, please don’t forget to mention what is your research proportion. The author needs to report the results in sufficient detail so that the reader can see which statistical analysis was conducted and why, and later to justify their conclusions.
7. Discussion
   In this section, the author discusses the results of the study and should be able to explore novelty according to the topic under study.
