Section-by-Section Guidelines

1. Introduction: Justify the choice and urgency of the research topic, based on prior literature and open problems. Define the research object, subject, goals, hypotheses, and methods. Clearly articulate the purpose and intended contribution of the study.
2. Materials and Methods:
   Provide a comprehensive description of materials and methods used. This includes:
   • Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of research materials
   • Detailed methodological framework (without repeating standard procedures)
   • Description of equipment/software used
   • Explanation of any novel approaches or experimental setups
   Your methodology section should answer:
   • What is the research question?
   • What hypothesis or thesis is being tested?
   • What are the stages and methods of the research?
   • What results are expected or achieved?
3. Literature Review: Discuss at least 20 recent and relevant sources in English, focusing on major contributions in the field, and identifying research gaps your work addresses. Priority should be given to international and Scopus-indexed sources.
4. Results and Discussion: Present and analyze your research findings. This section should interpret the results, compare them to existing studies, and demonstrate their significance. It is expected to be one of the most in-depth sections.
5. Conclusion: Summarize key findings, reaffirm the research hypothesis or goals, and suggest implications or future research directions. The conclusion should answer:
   • What were the aims and methods?
   • What results were obtained?
   • What conclusions were drawn?
   • What practical applications or future research opportunities exist?
6. References: Include at least 20 scholarly references:
