The Title (font size 13, Times New Roman) is brief, clear and appropriate to the content/purpose of article. (e.g., Using Active verbs instead of complex noun-based phrases, and summarizing the main idea or ideas of the study.)
The Abstract (250-300 words) accurately describes content of the paper. (e.g., Discussing a compact view of the research problem, purpose of study, research design, key findings, and limiting only 250-300 words long.)
The Keywords (3-7 words) are enough and appropriate. (e.g., Do not use words or phrases from the title and supplement the title's contents. These are descriptive, represents key concepts, nouns, and are at least 3words.)
The Introduction(and Background) give an overview from a general subject area to a particular topic of inquiry. (e.g., Describing the purpose, scope, context, significance, background, hypothesis(es), question(s), brief methodology, outcome(s), an outline of remaining structure/organization of the article.)
The Literature Review(relevant literature/sources) gives an overview of the sources explored and demonstrates how the study fits within the larger field of the study. (e.g., Providing a description, summary, and critical evaluation of sources explored in relation with research problem(s) being investigated.) At the end of reviewing relevant sources, the author shall include the Conceptual and Theoretical Framework (or Model) described in No 6.
The Conceptual and Theoretical Framework (or Model) presents/makes the construction of the study clearer, cleaner, and more straightforward; and the theoretical framework within it explains the relationships that are explored within the study.

The Discussion explains new understanding or insights being emerged based on studying the problem. It is connected to the introduction through research questions and/or hypothesis(es) and the literature being reviewed for the study. (e.g., connecting the analyzed data to introduction through research questions or hypothesis(es) and the literature reviewed.)
The Conclusion(suggestions and future direction) is supported by findings of the results. (e.g., Helping the readers to understand why the research should matter to them. It gives a synthesis of key points and, (if applicable), recommends new areas for future research.)
The References(list of cited sources) contains a list of updated published and unpublished material on the topic including research articles from internationally reputed journals especially those indexed in WOS, Scopus etc.
