  5. Abstract
     A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length of 150-200 words). It starts with the general statement of the topics, purpose of the study, research method, main findings, and conclusion. An abstract is presented separately above the main headings in the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should, therefore, be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the references.
  6. Keywords
     Following the abstract, provide a maximum of 4 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of').

  1. Introduction
     Provide an adequate background. Explain how you addressed the problem, and why it is important to answer the problem, and also clearly state the aims of the study (how you think their answer would contribute to the existing scholarship on the subject). You should also discuss the relation of your research article with other research(s), and any related theories (especially from the most relevant theories, and high reputation journals) should also be written briefly in the Introduction. It should be presented in the form of paragraphs with the proportion of 15-20% of the whole article length.
  2. Method
     Explain briefly the research method involving research design, population and sample, research instruments, data collection procedures, and data analysis. A very detailed description of your research method is not necessary to write. The proportion of this section is 10-15% of the total article length.
  3. Results
     The result and discussion should be written in the same part. They should be presented continuously start from main result until supporting results and equipped with a discussion. This section consists of the description of the results of the data analysis to answer the research question(s) and their meanings are seen from current theories and references of the area addressed. The proportion of this section is 40-60% of the total article length.
  4. Conclusion
     It consists of the summary and restatement of the main findings. Suggestion (if any) placed after conclusion contains a recommendation from the research results.
     
     

• REFERENCES
  References must comply with the Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (full note) citation style.
  
  Citations in the text
  Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Avoid citation in the abstract.
