  • Results
    Present the findings of the study clearly and logically, using text, tables, and figures as needed. Do not interpret the data here — only report the results.

  • Discussion
    Interpret and analyze the results in relation to the study’s objectives and existing literature. Highlight the implications, strengths, and limitations of the study.

  • Conclusions
    Summarize the key findings and their relevance. Suggest practical applications or future research directions, keeping this section concise and focused.

References

  • Use APA style (7th edition) for all citations and references.
  • Include DOIs for all references where available.
