Abstract
Write abstract in one paragraph (150-250 words) consisting of purposes, methods, results, and
conclusions.
Keyword: Consists of 3 to 6 keywords, not necessarily single words.
Introduction
The introduction includes backgrounds, purposes, questions, hypotheses (if any),
contributions, and literature reviews. The literature review should consist of the novelty of
the research and the applied concepts or theoretical frameworks.
The division of subtitles in a conceptual article, which is not based on empirical research,
does not have to follow this structure. Still, it should begin with an ‘Introduction’ and end
with a ‘Conclusion’.
Methods
This part describes the methods that have been used in the study, including approach,
material, tool, time and location, sample and population, informant selection, data collection,
and data analysis.
Results and discussions
This part consists of empirical results and theoretical discussions, which are not necessarily
separated into two subtitles. It is preferred that empirical findings and theoretical discussions
are mixed under some subtitles, which are organized based on topics and subtopics.
Conclusion
This part should briefly state the principal results, major conclusions, and recommendations for future studies. It could also mention the social, cultural, or political implications of the
study. Do not add any new ideas or discussions here.
Acknowledgment
This part briefly mentions the funding and grant-awarding bodies, and other parties should
be noted for their contributions during the research or writing processes.
Biographical note
Please supply a short biographical note for each author (no more than 100 words).

brackets.
