Guidelines on paper structure
Abstract. Your article must include an abstract, consisting of 100-150 words, which provides readers with an overview of the content of your article. It is important that your abstract clearly states the purpose of your article and summarizes the content. The abstract cannot be written in the first or second person (i, me, my, we, us, our, you). When writing the abstract, instead use “this article” or “the authors” for any sentences that require a subject in that capacity.
Keywords. Please include a list of 8-15 keywords that relate to the research of the article. These words should include important vocabulary, names of systems, and names of organizations. These terms will be included to generate the index for the journal. Please do not include words that are part of the article title. Each word should be capitalized. The words should be separated with a comma or semi-colon and should be listed in alphabetical order.
Body of the Paper. Below you will find the required headings that a journal article should have.
Introduction. This section is meant to describe the general perspective of the article. This section can be ended with by specifically stating the objectives of the article.
Background. In this section, please provide broad definitions and discussions of the topic of your article. This section can include the literature review of other views on this specific topic to help the authors to support, refute or demonstrate your position on the topic.
Conclusion. Please note that the heading should be just "Conclusion" and not "Conclusions." This section can hold all of the conclusions that the research has made, but the heading must remain singular. This section is to provide a discussion on the overall coverage of the article and concluding remarks.
Acknowledgment. Any acknowledgment to fellow researchers, funding grants, and competing interests should be placed within this section. Funding and competing interest statements are now required in all journal article submissions based on information we have received from the indices.
References. References should relate only to the material you cited within your article (this is not a bibliography). References should be in APA style and listed in alphabetical order based on the last name of the first author of the cited work. For more information and examples on properly citing sources in APA.
