The abstract should contain 150-250 words with no more than five keywords. An Abstract summarises the significant aspects of a paper. It is usually one paragraph long and should succinctly summarise the paper's purpose, methods, significant results, and author’s imprecations and conclusions. Avoid citing references in the abstract. Use active rather than passive voice (but without personal pronouns). Abbreviations should be introduced at the first mention in the text.

The paper should have standard content for a journal, such as Introduction, Literature Review/Related Work, The Proposed Method or Methodology, Analysis and Results, and the Conclusion. In the Introduction, the authors should describe the background of the study and explain the problem that inspired the study. Then, the study's objectives need to be specified in the section. The main content should be in Times New Roman 11pt font. The paper should be between 6000 and 8000 words, excluding References. Enter one spacing for the second paragraph and others.
