Category
As part of the document metadata, authors must categorize their work. They should choose from the list of categories below the one that best fits their manuscript.
- Research Article : The creation or testing of a model or framework, action research, data testing, market research or surveys, and empirical, scientific, or laboratory research are all included in research articles.
- Review articles: give a thorough overview of the research on a certain subject and offer insight into the current condition and future directions of the area. Review articles are frequently read widely and frequently quoted (for instance, by scholars looking for a thorough introduction to a discipline). It frequently cites about 100 primary sources.
- Technical papers analyze and describe items, procedures, or services that are technically based.
- A conceptual article will develop hypotheses rather than rely on research. The articles will likely be discursive and feature philosophical debates as well as comparisons of other people's ideas and works.
- Case studies detail real-world organizational interventions or experiences. They might be biased and won't typically report on studies. This would also include a description of a court case or a fictitious case study used as a teaching tool.

The activity objectives and problem-solving plans are presented in this section. Relevant literature review and hypothesis development are included in this section. [Times New Roman, 11, normal] page percentage between 10-15% of total words, spaced 1.
Methods Section

Abbreviations must be written in full at the first time they are mentioned, after that they can be written in short words [Times New Roman, 11, normal], spaced 1.
