Author Guidelines

Manuscript Preparation and Style Guidelines

1. Format

• Manuscripts should be typed on 15.5 cm x 23 cm paper, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and must be single-spaced, except for indented quotations and the abstract.
  Manuscripts must be saved as a Word file. All pages, including tables, appendices, and references, should be serially numbered.
• Numbers from one to ten should be spelled out, except when used in tables and lists, or with scientific units (e.g., three days; 3 kilometers; 30 years).

2. Language

• Manuscripts must be written in good academic English, following Webster’s International Dictionary for spelling.
• Authors should ensure anonymity in their submissions to facilitate blind peer review.

3. Article Length

• Manuscripts should contain 5,000 and 10,000 words, excluding tables, figures, and references.

4. Article Title

• The title of the article should be concise and clear, typically containing between 10 to 20 words. It should be specific and effective, using straightforward language that offers readers a clear glimpse of the content at first glance. This optimal word count helps ensure the title is comprehensive enough to convey the essence of the article while remaining succinct enough to maintain the reader's attention.

5. Author Name and Affiliations

• Include each author's full name, affiliation, postal address, telephone, and email address.

6. Abstract

• The abstract should concisely encapsulate the research within 150-200 words, covering the following elements: Background: Provides the context or background of the research, explaining the problem addressed and its relevance to the field. Objective: Articulates the main goal of the study—what the researcher aims to achieve. Methodology: A brief description of the methods used in the research, which may include experimental design, analytical approaches, or types of data and analysis tools utilized. Results: Summarize the key findings obtained from the research, highlighting significant outcomes. Conclusion: Discusses the conclusions that can be drawn from the research results and the significance of these findings. Implications: If relevant, explain the practical or theoretical implications of the research for future applications or further studies. This structure ensures a comprehensive yet succinct representation of the research conducted.

7. Keywords

• Choose up to 5 specific keywords that reflect the core content of the article.

• Relevance: Choose keywords that are most relevant to the core topic of your research. These should be terms that are commonly used in your field and are likely to be used by researchers seeking information on this topic.

• Specificity: Opt for specific rather than general keywords. Specific terms are more likely to draw the right audience to your article because they accurately reflect the specialized nature of the research.

• Standard Terms: Use standard and widely accepted terminology within your field. Avoid niche terms that may not be well-known or commonly searched for, unless they are directly relevant to your research focus.

• Avoid Overlap: While some overlap in keywords is unavoidable, try to choose keywords that cover different aspects of your research to maximize the reach of your article.

• Consider Variants: Include variations of important terms, if applicable, to accommodate different search habits. For example, if your paper discusses "e-learning," you might also include "online learning" and "virtual learning."

8. Main Article

• Introduction: Introduce the topic, establish context, and highlight its importance. Identify knowledge gaps, state your research objectives, and discuss the significance of your study.
• Literature Review (optional as a standalone section): Summarize relevant research, present theoretical frameworks, and discuss contrasting views and gaps in the literature that your study addresses.
• Methods: Detail your research design, participant selection, data collection methods, and analytical techniques. Ensure clarity to enable replication of the study.
• Results and Discussion: Present findings logically using visual aids like tables and graphs. Interpret results in the context of your research questions and compare them with existing literature. Acknowledge limitations and discuss the implications of your findings.

9. Artwork

• High-quality illustrations are required. Tables and figures should be presented on separate pages at the end of the manuscript.

10. Questionnaires and Experimental Instruments

• Include any instruments used in the study.

Citation and Reference Style

• IEEE Style: All citations and references should follow the IEEE citation style.
