The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully, and key publications cited. An introduction describes a brief background of the research, the research gap, the state of the arts, and the objective (s) and contributions. It should be written efficiently and supported by references. It should be written without numbers and/or pointers.

  Literature Reviews. This section summarizes and critically analyzes existing research related to the topic, highlighting key findings, gaps in knowledge, and how the current study contributes to the existing body of work within the field. This section also explains the development of the hypotheses (if any), the grand theory, and previous research on developing hypotheses. The source article should be up dated (no more than 5 years ago), except for legendary articles.

  Methods. This section describes the analysis tools, the data, and their sources. They should be described in detail sufficiently to allow others to replicate and build on published results. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.

  Result and Discussion. This section explains the results of the study. Data should be presented in Tables or Figures when feasible. There should be no duplication of data in Tables and Figures. The discussion should be consistent and should interpret the results clearly and concisely, and their significance, supported with suitable literature. The discussion should show relevance between the result and the field of investigation and/or hypotheses.

  Conclusions. This section concludes and provides contributions for theory, practice, and policy implications, if any, of the study.

  References. Double-check that references are in the correct format. Only those papers that are being referenced are to be included in the references section. Sources not being referenced in the text must be omitted. This section lists only the papers, books, or other types of publications referred to in the manuscript.
