4. Article Structure
Manuscripts must follow the structure below as specified in the template:
Introduction
The introduction should present the research background, problem formulation, research objectives, novelty, significance, and scope of the study. Relevant previous studies should be reviewed to position the research contribution. The section should end with a clear statement of research objectives or hypotheses (if applicable).
Sub-headings and numbering are not allowed.
Recommended length: approximately 1,500 words.

Tables and figures must be referred to in the text without using positional terms such as “above” or “below”.
Discussion should interpret the results critically and relate them to previous studies.
Conclusion
The conclusion summarizes the main findings in relation to the research objectives or hypotheses. It should include research limitations, recommendations for future research, and possible policy or managerial implications.
Bullet points or numbered lists are not permitted.

Acknowledgments may be given to individuals or institutions that contributed to the research but are not listed as authors. Funding sources and grant numbers (if any) must be clearly stated.
