Author Guidelines

This conference uses a double-blind review process. Before submitting your full paper, please remember to adapt to the specified template.

Research papers are based on empirical research that applies sound academic methodology. The research paper has the following sections:

• Abstract: Abstract must consist of 200 - 250 words. Provide a summary of the research questions to be discussed, methods, a summary of results and discussion, and conclusions drawn.
• Introduction: A brief introduction often includes a review of the existing literature on the topic studied and explains the author's research reasons. This section also describes the contribution of this study to the existing academic literature.
• Methods: This section describes a methodology on how to collect data whether it is quantitative, qualitative, or a combination of the two.
• Results and Discussion: The results section describes the results of the data analysis, including charts and graphs. The authors will explain their interpretations of their results and theorize about the importance of existing and future research.
• Conclusion: The author should develop conclusions by briefly repeating the research questions and their results. The authors should also discuss the implications of the research findings.
• Reference. This is a list of the articles and books of the academic or other primary sources used for the article.
