Introduction

The introduction contains a description of the background of the problem being solved, problems related to the problem being solved, review of research that has been previously carried out by other researchers relevant to the research being carried out. The reviewer's main assessment of this Introduction section is how the author discusses the related research so that the contribution and position of the research become clear. The relevant research must be in the form of papers from journals or seminar proceedings. The definition does not need to be explained in detail.

In the Introduction, the Author must state the purpose of the work at the end of the introductory section. Before the objective, the author should provide adequate background, and a very brief literature survey to note the solutions/methods at hand, to show which ones are the best of previous research, to show the main limitations of previous research, to show what you hope to achieve (to solve the limitations), and to demonstrate the scientific benefit or novelty of the paper. Avoid detailed literature surveys or summaries of results. Do not describe literature surveys as author-by-author, but should be presented as a group per method or topic being reviewed that refers to multiple literatures.

Research Methods

Explain the general research method, formula or stage of problem solving in detail and complete. The author is advised to use images and diagrams to support the explanation of the method. This method should allow the reader to reproduce the experiment. Provide enough detail to allow the work to be reproduced. The published method must be indicated by reference: only relevant modifications should be described. Do not repeat the details of the existing method.

Results and Discussion

The conclusion must clearly indicate the results obtained, strengths and weaknesses, and the possibility of further development. The conclusion can be paragraphs, but it can also be bullet points. Suggestions for further research to cover research shortcomings.

The conclusion must answer the purpose of the research. Tell how your work is advancing the field from the current state of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, reviewers and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it is worthy of publication in a journal. Don't repeat the Abstract, or just list the results of the experiment. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and demonstrate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or indicate ongoing experiments.

Confession

Do not acknowledge any of the author's names.
