B. Article Structure

1. The Introduction presents the research background, problem formulation, research objectives, and relevant theoretical foundations or previous studies. This section should be written in a narrative format without subheadings, aiming to clearly define the context and significance of the research.
2. The Literature Review and Theoretical Framework summarizes the theories or findings from prior studies that support and justify the current research. All references should be scientifically valid and relevant to the research topic.
3. The Methods section explains the research design, data collection techniques, research setting and timeframe, and data analysis procedures. This section should be descriptive and informative enough for replication, and no subheadings should be used.
4. The Results and Discussion section presents the research findings systematically and provides a thorough analysis. Subheadings are allowed in this section and should be written in bold and italic font, while sub-subheadings should be italicized only. Data may be presented in narrative form, tables, or graphs. Table captions should appear above the tables, left-aligned, while figure captions should appear below the figures, center-aligned. All discussions must refer to relevant theories or prior studies and should be focused on answering the research questions and achieving the stated objectives.
5. The Conclusion summarizes the main findings of the research, highlights its strengths and limitations, and suggests possible future developments. It should be written in paragraph form without numbering or bullet points. Recommendations may also be included as follow-up actions or practical implications of the research findings.
6. The References section must be placed at the end of the article and include all sources cited within the text. The references should follow APA style formatting and be arranged alphabetically. All in-text citations must correspond to the entries in the reference list.
