A. Manuscript Format

  1. Introduction: explains the theoretical background, related research, practical applications, and the nature and purpose of the article. The literature review must outline the "knowledge map" regarding the topic, present theories and concepts that sharpen the analysis, and cite reputable journal articles published within the last 10 years.
  2. Research Methods: outlines the type of research, participants, materials, and procedures used in the study, such as treatments and data analysis.
  3. Results and Discussion: Research findings must be presented clearly and concisely. The discussion section must explore the significance of the research findings rather than merely restating them. Combining the Results and Discussion sections is often considered appropriate. Excessively long quotations and over-elaborate literature discussions should be avoided.
  4. Conclusion: The study's main conclusions may be presented in a concise conclusion section, which can stand alone or serve as a subsection of the discussion or the combined results and discussion section.
  5. References: The reference list must be arranged alphabetically. Every listed reference must be cited within the text; for non-research papers, the content must cover the main theme, logical development of the theme, the author's perspective, and implications, inferences, or conclusions.
  6. Papers will be reviewed and edited without altering their substantive content.
  7. In-text citations (body notes) must include the author's name, year of publication, and page number (or utilize Mendeley) in accordance with the APA (American Psychological Association) style; example: (Iska, 2005: 47).
  8. The reference list must be arranged alphabetically and chronologically using Mendeley, selecting the 7th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) style.
  9. References within the manuscript must be up-to-date and number at least 20, with the stipulation that 80% originate from primary sources (internationally reputable journals) that are publicly accessible. Authors are responsible for ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the information in each reference. All references must be cited within the text; otherwise, they will be automatically removed.
