Introduction

The Introduction must present the research background, developments in previous scholarship (state of the art), limitations of existing studies, research objectives, and elements of scholarly novelty. This section must be formatted in 12-point Times New Roman. Unlike a conventional research report, the review of previous studies in a scholarly article must focus on identifying research gaps and establishing the study's originality and scientific contribution.

Literature Review

The Literature Review must provide an objective and critical examination of published scholarly works relevant to the research topic. This section aims to map developments in theoretical perspectives and recent empirical findings while identifying areas that require further investigation.

Methodology

The Methodology section must describe the research design, population, sample, data collection procedures, and analytical techniques employed in the study. This section must be formatted in 12-point Times New Roman. A separate methodology section is not mandatory for conceptual articles or literature reviews.

Results and Discussion

The Results section must present the findings of data analysis descriptively and be formatted in 12-point Times New Roman. Each manuscript may include a maximum of three tables and figures, presented in black-and-white format.

The Discussion section must interpret the findings by relating them to relevant theoretical perspectives, previous research, and supporting empirical evidence.

Recommendations must identify practical suggestions or opportunities for further research grounded in the study's findings and scholarly arguments.

  • Developing the research framework and analytical design.
