Manuscript’s Structure |
The manuscript should have to be formatted in Microsoft Word, not exceeding 7,000 words (about 15 pages typed in A4 size including references). A manuscript could have various structure but must ensure all the necessary contents of a complete research. A scientific manuscript usually includes the following sections: 1. Introduction The introduction should be precise with no subtitles, mentions the research’s the necessity, the research’s objectives, the expected theoretical and practical contributions, and the research innovations. 2. Theoretical basis This part presents the basic theories/thesis and clarifies the views related to the manuscript. The part presents the summary of other pieces of research (Authors, years, name of the study, methods, and the results). Based on that, the authors would propose a research model, an analytical framework, or research assumptions for their work. 3. Research method Based on the identified research models, the analytical framework, or the research hypotheses, the research specifies the appropriate analytical methods/ research models to produce scientifically sound results. The scope of the research is presented clearly through methods of data collection; these methods also describe in detail how to measure variables in the study. Sources of data must be fully and reliably cited. 4. Research results The research findings could be from qualitative and quantitative analysis. This part also indicates the difference of the research results of the study compared with other previous relevant studies, identifies the scientific & practical contributions, limitations of research, and proposals for further studies. The study should only discuss what has been stated and defined in the manuscript; the results will directly support the conclusion. 5. Conclusion Conclusions are driven directly from the results of the study after contrasting with previous studies’ research objectives. The policies, solutions, proposals are practically recommended based on the results of the research. |
