The introduction should be concise and detailed. The introduction should have a minimum of five elements, specifically addressing research-related challenges at both international and national levels. Ensure sources are relevant to the subject, and refrain from presenting information without an apparent source. Also, examine how researchers have responded to the issue. Seek an expert perspective to enhance the researcher's case and explore the connection between previous research and the issues. Where does the discrepancy lie between the current research and past studies? Previous research results must be pertinent to the research issue, the uniqueness or gap in the research should be backed by relevant theories and primary sources, and the study's focus must be clearly defined. Researchers should descriptively articulate the purpose or research challenge in the introduction's final paragraph without utilizing bullet points or numbers.

Research Methods must be detailed enough to enable others to reproduce and expand upon the findings presented. This section details the research strategy, rationale, processes, population, samples, research tools, data gathering methodologies, and data analysis methods. The description must be written in the past tense. 

The results are presented clearly and comprehensively. Research findings might be presented according to the study's progress, addressing specific problem formulations, or using any other relevant approach that highlights the research outcomes. Research conclusions must be supported by empirical evidence. Subheadings may be used to split this section. The document should offer a brief and accurate summary of the experimental findings, their analysis, and the resulting conclusions. 

Discussion part, the authors should analyze the results of past studies and the working hypotheses without duplicating the explanation provided in the results section. The findings and their consequences should be discussed in a comprehensive context. It also indicates potential areas for future research. The discussion should include references to earlier research concepts or findings to determine if the current research results align with or conflict with them. Furthermore, it is essential to consider the originality of the research findings about prior studies in this discussion. 

Conclusion part, the writers must describe the solution to the problem or research question posed in the conclusion. Authors should avoid redundant explanations of sentences from the preceding section. The authors must summarize the article's material concerning the answers to the problem or research topic. Furthermore, the authors should clearly outline the significance and constraints of this work. This section is written descriptively without using numbering or bullet points.
