3. Structured abstract:
Include an abstract of no more than 200 words that provides a brief and comprehensive summary of the article's contents (keep details to a minimum) as well as a good idea of the benefits to be gained from reading the article.

Structured abstract should be arranged under the following headings:

Background and Objective. Give a brief overview of the subject and in this context state the main objective of the study.

State the problem that motivated the research and briefly state the limitations of existing knowledge or the possibilities of addressing the problem. Explain the relevance of the problem and the importance of the study. (2-3 sentences) Explain what the main objective of the article is. (1 sentence)

Methods. Describe the basic design, subjects, and scientific methods.

Describe the sample population (if applicable), research design, conceptual framework, and/or analytic approach. What specific methods and/or data sets did you use? For example, comparative case study, semi-structured interviews, hierarchical regression, etc. (2-3 sentences)

Results. Describe the most important results of the study.

Explain what you found, whether it is an answer to the problem you wanted to study, and whether your hypothesis was confirmed. Include exact numbers instead of generalized results whenever appropriate. (2-3 sentences)

Conclusions. Describe the conclusions you drew from your results.

Include only conclusions that are supported by the data obtained and, whenever appropriate, the implications of the results (avoid speculation and exaggerated claims). (1-2 sentences)

Contribution/value. Present the value of your findings.

Explain the main contribution you make to theory, research methodology or practice. What should change as a result of your work? Refer to the background and objective stated earlier. (2-3 sentences)

Introduction section is not numbered. Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to "the text". Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
6. Tables and figures
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list. Every reference from the list needs to be referred to in text. The in-text citations and reference list should follow the latest edition of APA.
8. Funding
All sources of funding should be clearly stated in a funding statement (on the Title page, after all authors listed). 9. Other considerations
a) Manuscripts should be checked for spelling and grammatical errors.
b) In case any copyrighted material from other sources is used, appropriate permission for use should be obtained.
