The last paragraph is usually associated with a description of the research or study objectives to be achieved.

RESEARCH METHODS is usually described in detail and clearly regarding the location and time of the research/study, explaining the type of research method (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method), accompanied by details of the method of taking/collecting data and the method of data analysis used, if the method used is previously known, a reference must be included.

In particular, clarifying the methods used for review articles is necessary. The method used includes systematic review, critical review, meta-analysis, scoping review, integrative review, rapid review, and narrative review. In addition, data collection methods include keyword searches, the time range used, the search application used, the type of journal referenced, and whether it is indexed, reputable, or national. The number of articles used as a reference is at least 10 if the studied topic has been researched a lot before.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION should not be separated. The results obtained based on the methods used are stated. Avoid raw data and double presentation (e.g., tables and graphs). Every mean value of the data was given a standard deviation. All the data in the results should be presented in tables or graphs, although some results may be given solely in the text. A discussion can be made by comparing the results/data reported with previously published research results. The results were interpreted rather than repeated. The similarities, differences, and uniqueness of the findings should be highlighted.

CONCLUSION is described briefly and refers to the main points of discussion and the ability to articulate the main findings, answering the objectives to be achieved. It should be written as a paragraph, not as a list.
