Systematic Structure of the Manuscript
A. Introduction
The introduction must include: (a) general background, (b) a review of previous literature (state of the art) as the basis for establishing the novelty of the article, (c) a clear statement of scientific novelty, and (d) the research problem or hypothesis. The introduction must conclude with the objectives of the article. In academic articles, a separate literature review section, as typically found in research reports, is not permitted; instead, the state of the art must be integrated to demonstrate the article’s contribution to scientific novelty.
B. Method
The method must describe in detail the data collection procedures, research instruments, and methods of analysis.
C. Findings and Discussion
This section presents the research findings, analysis, and interpretations in relation to the theoretical framework. It must answer the research questions or hypotheses formulated in the study.
D. Conclusion
The conclusion should provide answers to the research objectives and/or hypotheses based on the findings. It must not simply repeat the results but summarize the key insights aligned with the research objectives. Recommendations should outline possible actions or directions for future research.
