• Each section should ideally contain 100–150 words.
• Text should be written in Arial font, size 28–48 pt; avoid using text smaller than 24 pt to ensure readability.
• Avoid long, complex sentences.
Section suggestions:
• Introduction: Brief background and study objective.
• Materials and Methods: Provide key details on sample, setting, duration, variables, inclusion criteria, intervention (if any), measurement methods, and statistical analysis.
• Results: Present main findings that answer the research question. Use tables, figures, images, and graphs where appropriate. Visuals should be clear, well-designed, and attention-grabbing.
• Conclusion & Discussion: Summarize the main findings in relation to the objective, compare with literature, and note study limitations.
• References: List only primary and essential sources.
Tables and Figures
Visual elements are encouraged over long text blocks, as they enhance clarity and aesthetic quality.
Guidelines:
• Table text and numeric values must be easily readable.
• Images must be at least 960 pixels or higher resolution.
