Introduction [Font: Universe condense 16, line spacing 1, spacing before 12 pt, after 6]
The manuscript must be approximately 5000-7,000 words. All text must be 1.2 spaced (except for the title), spacing before 12 pt, after 2 pt.

The arguments and discussion should be grounded on relevant evidence from a review of literature. The need that the study intends to meet should be stated clearly by providing evidence from previous research in the field. At the end of the introduction, the aims of the study should be explained clearly as questions or hypotheses. Sub-headings can be used in this section if needed.

Findings section should deal only with presenting the results and should not include a discussion of the findings. Sub-headings in line with sub-goals of the study can be used. Sub-headings should be flush left, in italics and with each word capitalized.

Conclusion [Font: Universe condense 16, line spacing 1, spacing before 12 pt, after 6]
This section should include the discussion of the findings. First, the research question or the hypothesis should be re-stated and related findings should be summarized briefly. Then, the findings should be discussed referring to relevant results in previous research. If the study indicates different findings from those in the literature, possible reasons should be elaborated. Finally, the possible reasons for the findings should be interpreted based on evidence. The following points should be considered in discussion:

1. Overgeneralization should be avoided and the discussion should evolve only around the findings of the study.
2. When providing possible reasons for the findings, all possible factors should be considered and discussed from a wide perspective.
3. Possible error sources (statistical, measurement errors, etc.) should be explained.
4. The language in this section should not have a certain unquestioning tone, rather; the tone should be non-conclusive giving room to other possibilities.
