Abstract

The length of abstract is 250 words maximum. There are 4 main points to be addressed clearly in abstract section: (1) background of research table, (2) research purpose, (3) research methodology, and (4) research result/conclusion.

The background section should be the shortest part of the abstract and should very briefly outline the following information: What is already known about the subject, related to the paper in question? What is not known about the subject and hence what the study intended to examine (or what the paper seeks to present)?

Keywords: a, b, c, d, e

1. INTRODUCTION

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explain how you addressed the problem and clearly state the aims of your study.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction, and lay the foundation for further work. A calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.

  • RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
    Methodology explains about what research method used, how the data collected and analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively to get new explanations in the result and discussion.
  • FINDING AND DISCUSSION
    Results should be clear and concise. The results should summarize (scientific) findings rather than providing data in great detail. Please highlight differences between your results or findings and the previous publications by other researchers. For tables, they are generally numbered with the table title and number above the table. Tables should be cited in the column OR on the page.

3. CONCLUSION AND FURTHER RESEARCH

The study’s main conclusions may be presented as a short Conclusion section, which may stand alone or form a subsection in Discussion (or Results and Discussion). The conclusion should include the most important matter of the paper. Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tell how your work advances the field from the present state of knowledge.

4. LIMITATION & FURTHER RESEARCH

The study’s limitation refers to factors beyond the researcher’s control that may have affected or influenced the interpretation of the findings from research. Further research should suggest the number of cases or locations for the results from your finding, or extend and further test this research.
