1. Introduction [Titles of main section in 12-bold]

The introduction should cover three topics: 1) the problem being investigated; 2)
the urgency of addressing the problem being investigated; and 3) the manner in
which the author discusses the problem. The author must therefore give close
attention to the following considerations: First, the author defines the core of the
problem to be discussed, the context, and the position of the author's article
among related studies. In this case, the author can describe the relationship
between the article and previously published articles or works, conduct a
concise review of the previously published articles or works, and demonstrate
the uniqueness of the article. Second, the authors describe significant facets of
the issue under investigation. In this case, the author may also mention the
reasons and objectives for discussing the issue in the aforementioned article.
This section is meant to demonstrate the author's scholarly contribution to the
articles he writes by demonstrating that the issues he raises are crucial for
publication.

Label of tables and figures are centred, bold and size 10. For tables, the label
must be placed above the table while for figures it must be place below the
figure. The distance between the figure and the label must be 6 pt. Paragraph >
Spacing > Before. All figures must be cited within the text. The word Figure

The distance between the table and the table label must be 6 pt. Paragraph >
Spacing > After. Authors are allowed to use alternative layouts for tables.
However, these must be used consistently throughout the paper, as far as
appropriate. All tables must be cited within the text. For example, Table 1 should
be referred to as Table 1 and not table 1 or anything else. Font size for text within
tables should normally be at 10 pt. If majority of the tables are small in width,
they can be left-aligned but this must be consistent throughout the paper.

source of the data, the data type, and data analysis. The article is written in
paragraph format and is between 200 and 500 words in length.
