The number of pages of the article must 10-15, not exceed 25, including abstract, reference, and author profile list. The whole work must be written in Book Antiqua, font size 12. Subheading must be in bold, and the first letter of each word must be capital letters.

All the text must be written using single line spacing, including the reference list. The research article should normally consist of the following parts: introduction, research method , findings, discussion, and conclusion.

Title Article

Writing the title of the article using the font "book antiqua" 14 pt, below it is written the author's name with a font size of 10 pt and affiliation, city, country with a font size of 9 pt

Abstract

The abstract must be brief, informative and self-explanatory and should be written in the past tense. It must not exceed 150-200 words in length and should concisely summarize all-important results of the paper without excessive methodical and experimental details. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided.

Keywords

Beside abstract, about 3 to 7 keywords characterizing the paper should be listed.

Introduction

The introduction should give a concise background and provide a rationale for the presented study. It should provide a clear statement of the problem and should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

Research Method

This should give detailed and sufficient information about the materials and procedures used to allow experiments to be reproduced. Previously published procedures and sources of laboratory procedures should be cited. Information on the equipment model, manufacturer’s name and address including the city, province/state and country should be provided. The procedures should be written in the past tense and should consist of paragraphs with individual methods

Finding 

This should describe the design of the experiment and the obtained results. All tables, figures, graphs, statistical analyses, and sample calculations should be presented in this section.

Tables

In tables font size 10 must be used and vertical lines must be not be drawn. When the contents of the table cannot fit into the table, font size 10 might be used. The number of the table and the title must be written above the table.

The discussion should relate the presented results to those of previous own or other studies, interprets them and draw conclusions. It can outline working hypotheses, theories, and applications.

Conclusion 

Writing a conclusion is the final part of the research paper, drawing everything together and tying it into initial research. Writing a conclusion involves summing up the paper and giving a very brief description of the results, although you should not go into too much detail about this.

Acknowledgments (OPTIONAL)
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be placed in a separate section not numbered at the very end of the paper.

References

The items on the reference list must be arranged according to APA Referencing. (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association).

In-Text citations

Use the name of the author(s) followed by the year of publication when citing references within the text and page number. For example:

1 author (Nur, 2020)

2 authors (Eggen & Kauchak, 2001)

3 or more authors (Jatmiko et al., 2018)

The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing

Please note this policy only refers to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyze and draw insights from data as part of the research process.

Where authors use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, these technologies should only be used to improve readability and language of the work. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, because AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased. The authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.

Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies, and a statement will appear in the published work. Declaring the use of these technologies supports transparency and trust between authors, readers, reviewers, editors, and contributors and facilitates compliance with the terms of use of the relevant tool or technology.

Authors should not list AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author, nor cite AI as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans. Each (co-) author is accountable for ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved, and authorship requires the ability to approve the final version of the work and agree to its submission. Authors are also responsible for ensuring that the work is original, that the stated authors qualify for authorship, and that the work does not infringe third-party rights, and should familiarize themselves with our Ethics in Publishing policy before they submit.

The use of generative AI and AI-assisted tools in figures, images, and artwork

We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts. This may include enhancing, obscuring, moving, removing, or introducing a specific feature within an image or figure. Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable if and as long as they do not obscure or eliminate any information present in the original. Image forensics tools or specialized software might be applied to submitted manuscripts to identify suspected image irregularities.

The only exception is if the use of AI or AI-assisted tools is part of the research design or research methods (such as in AI-assisted imaging approaches to generate or interpret the underlying research data, for example, in the field of biomedical imaging). If this is done, such use must be described in a reproducible manner in the methods section. This should include an explanation of how the AI or AI-assisted tools were used in the image creation or alteration process, and the name of the model or tool, version and extension numbers, and manufacturer. Authors should adhere to the AI software’s specific usage policies and ensure correct content attribution. Where applicable, authors could be asked to provide pre-AI-adjusted versions of images and/or the composite raw images used to create the final submitted versions, for editorial assessment.

The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork, such as for a graphical abstract, is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may, in some cases, be allowed if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
