 ABSTRACT

The abstract must be written in a single paragraph in English (maximum 500 words).

It should include:

• Purpose: research objectives and/or hypotheses

• Results: key findings
• Implications: contribution to theory, policy, or practice

Additional information such as the number of tables, figures, or references may be included if necessary.

 INTRODUCTION

The introduction should clearly state the research problem and objectives. It is recommended to structure the introduction into four parts:

• Background of the problem (practical or theoretical issues)
• Review of recent studies to establish the state-of-the-art and identify limitations
• Research gap between previous studies and current research
• Research questions, objectives, and novelty

 METHODS

This section explains how the research was conducted and must include:

• Research design
• Population/sample or research subjects
• Data collection techniques and instruments
• Data analysis methods

The methods should be described clearly and concisely to allow replication. Avoid unnecessary formulas unless essential.

Length guideline:

• Qualitative research: max 10% of the manuscript
