Titles should be presented in title case - all words except the first word
should be in lower case letters.
List of authors, their affiliations and email addresses - Provide the full
names and affiliations of all the authors. Affiliations should include
department, university or organization, city, and country. One of the authors
should be designated as the corresponding author, and their email address needs

citations should be included in the abstract.
Keywords - At least 3 keywords or phrases should be

Introduction - The introduction section should provide a
context for your manuscript. When preparing the introduction, please bear in
mind that some readers will not be experts in your field of research.
Main body - the main body part should include the main
proposed ideas, results and discussions.
Conclusions - A conclusion is where you summarize the
paper's findings and generalize their importance, discuss ambiguous data, and
recommend further research. An effective conclusion should provide closure for
a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully
explained.

whether to include acknowledgments or not. Usually, the acknowledgments section
includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do
