Abstract: The abstract is a very brief overview of your ENTIRE study. It tells the reader WHAT you did, WHY you did it, HOW you did it, WHAT you found, and WHAT it means. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research (introduction), how the problem was studied (methods), the principal findings (results), and what the findings mean (discussion and conclusion). It is important to be descriptive but concise–say only what is essential, using no more words than necessary to convey meaning. The Abstract should be 100 to 200 words in length. (10pts)
Keywords: Keyword 1; Keyword 2; Keyword 3; Keyword 4; Keyword 5. (10pts separately by a semicolon)
Introduction (12 Points, bold)
The introduction comes at the start of a piece of writing. It introduces the research by situating it (by giving background), presenting the research problem and saying how and why this problem will be “solved.” Without this important information the reader cannot easily understand the more detailed information about the research that comes later in the paper. It also explains why the research is being done (rationale) which is crucial for the reader to understand the significance of the study.(12 pts)
Methodology
Explanation of how data was collected/generated, explanation of how data was analyzed explanation of methodological problems and their solutions or effects. We need to know how the data was obtained because the method affects the results. Knowing how the data was collected helps the reader evaluate the validity and reliability of your results, and the conclusions you draw from them.
The research methods must be appropriate to the objectives of the study. The methodology should also discuss the problems that were anticipated and explain the steps taken to prevent them from occurring, and the problems that did occur and the ways their impact was minimized.
Tables and Figures are presented center, as shown below and cited in the manuscript.Figure and Table captions should be 10-point Times New Roman. Callouts should be 10-point Times New Roman, non-boldface.
Equation numbers should appear in parentheses and be numbered consecutively. All equation numbers must appear on the right-hand side of the equation and should be referred to within the text.
Results and Discussion
The results are presented in a format that is accessible to the reader (e.g. in a graph, table, diagram or written text). Notice that raw data is usually put in an appendix, if it is included at all.
All graphs, tables, diagrams and figures should be accompanied by text that guides the reader’s attention to significant results. The text makes the results meaningful by pointing out the most important results, simplifying the results, highlighting significant trends or relationships, and perhaps commenting on whether certain results were expected or unexpected.
Explanation of results: the writer comments on whether or not the results were expected, and presents explanations for the results, particularly for those that are unexpected or unsatisfactory. References to previous research: comparison of the results with those reported in the literature, or use of the literature to support a claim, hypothesis or deduction.
Deduction: A claim for how the results can be applied more generally i.e. a conclusion based on reasoning from the results. Hypothesis: A more general claim or possible conclusion arising from the results which will be proved or disproved in later research.
Conclusion
A conclusion should give a summary of:
- What was learned (this usually comes first)
- What remains to be learned (directions for future research)
- The shortcomings of what was done (evaluation)
- The benefits, advantages, applications, etc. of the research (evaluation), and
- Recommendations/Future researches.
References
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
