  • Title (concise and informative)
  • Authors and Affiliations
  • Abstract (structured summary, 150-250 words)
  • Keywords (3-6 keywords)
  • Introduction (background, research gap, objectives)
  • Methods (detailed description, e.g. study design, respondent,data collection, data analysis, and ethical clearance)
  • Results (clear presentation of findings with tables and figures)
  • Discussion (interpretation, significance, limitations, and future research directions)
  • Conclusion (summary of findings and implications)
  • Acknowledgment (optional)
  • Conflict of interest
  • References (formatted in APA 7th style, minimum 20 references)
  • Word count: 3000 - 8000 words
