3.3 Abstract

The abstract should provide a concise and self-contained summary of the research and should not exceed 250 words. It should use Lucida Bright, 10 pt, single spacing, and should not normally contain references or mathematical formulas.

The Objectives – Briefly describes the purpose and research objectives.

The Methods/Approaches – Briefly describes the research design, methods, data, or analytical techniques used.

The Results – Presents the principal findings that directly address the research objectives.

The Research Implications – Explains the contribution of the findings to knowledge, practice, policy, or managerial decision-making.

3.4 Keywords

Provide 2–5 keywords representing the main concepts, variables, methods, or research areas discussed in the article.

3.5 Introduction

The Introduction should establish the context and rationale of the research. It should explain the background, research problem, research gap, significance of the study, relevant theoretical and empirical literature, research objectives, and hypotheses or research questions where applicable. The Introduction should clearly demonstrate why the research is necessary and what new contribution it provides. A research framework or conceptual framework may be presented where appropriate. The Introduction should generally consist of approximately 5–7 well-developed paragraphs.

3.6 Methodology

The Methodology should provide sufficient information to allow readers to understand and, where appropriate, reproduce the research. Depending on the study, this section may include research design, setting, subjects, objects, population, samples, sampling techniques, operational definitions, variables, data sources, data collection procedures, instruments, validity and reliability procedures, analytical techniques, and statistical methods.

3.7 Results and Discussion

The Results and Discussion section is the principal part of the manuscript and should account for at least 50% of the total manuscript, where appropriate. The presentation should follow the sequence of the research objectives, research questions, or hypotheses.

Results – Present empirical findings, statistical results, qualitative findings, tables, figures, graphs, or other relevant evidence with appropriate interpretation.

Discussion – Interpret the findings in relation to the objectives, theories, previous studies, similarities and differences with existing research, and relevant implications.

Novelty and Contribution – Clearly explain how the findings extend, confirm, challenge, or differ from previous research.

3.8 Conclusion

The Conclusion should directly address the research objectives stated in the Abstract and Introduction. It should summarize the principal findings, highlight their significance, explain the contribution of the study, and provide relevant managerial or practical implications. Recommendations for future research may be included where appropriate. The Conclusion should not simply repeat the Abstract or reproduce the Results section and should preferably be limited to 1–2 concise paragraphs.
