Article Structure Title The title should be concise, and It must be concise and have correlations to the main ideas and findings. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
Abstract The abstract should be able to stand on its own. The abstract written in English must contain the purpose of the paper, methods, result, and novelty within 100-250 words maximum.
Introduction The introduction must contain a general background (shortly), a literature review (state of the art) to record the existing method/solutions, to show which is the best of previous research, and to show the main limitations of the previous research. It has been contained with at least 5 pieces of literature to justify the novelty of this paper. The introduction should clearly contain the gap analysis (why this research needs to be done? What is the uniqueness of this paper compared to previous papers?) as the basic of the new research question, statements of the new scientific article and main research problems (novelty).
Methods The method used should be accompanied by references; the relevant modification should be explained. The procedure and data analysis technique should be emphasized in a literature review article. The stages and analysis of the research must be explained in detail.
Results and Discussion The results and discussion should be presented in the same part, clearly and briefly. The discussion part should contain the benefit of the research result, not the repeat result part. The results and discussion part can be written in the same part to avoid the extensive quotation. Tables or graphs must present different results. The results of data analysis must be reliable in answering research problems. References to the discussion should not repeat the references in the introduction. Comparisons to the findings of previous studies must be included. Manuscripts can be presented with the support of tables, graphs or images which needed to clarify the results of presentation verbally. Results and discussion is shown clearly and concisely.
Conclusion Conclusions written in one paragraph, presented briefly, narrative, non-bulleted, and conceptual. The research impact must be stated.
Referencec and Citation Bibliography writing style using APA 7th Edition. Use the latest reference sources at least 5 years from the year the article was created. Only accept reference sources from Journals. References should be numbered and numbered in the order they appear in the text. When referring to a reference in the text of the document, write the reference number in square brackets, for example: [1]. All data or quotations presented in the article that are taken from other authors' articles must include the reference source.

In-text Citing It is not necessary to mention an author's name, pages used, or date of publication in the in-text citation. Instead, refer to the source with a number in a square bracket, e.g. [1], that will then correspond to the full citation in your reference list.
Place bracketed citations within the line of text, before any punctuation, with a space before the first bracket.
Number your sources as you cite them in the paper. Once you have referred to a source and given it a number, continue to use that number as you cite that source throughout the paper.
When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately, in its own brackets, using a comma or dash between numbers, as such: [1], [3], [5] or [1] - [5].
The below examples are from Murdoch University's IEEE Style LibGuide. Examples of in-text citations: "...end of the line for my research [13]." "This theory was first put forward in 1987 [1]." "Scholtz [2] has argued that..." "Several recent studies [3], [4], [15], [16] have suggested that...." "For example, see [7]."
