Methods applied should be provided with the references, and any modifications should be described. In a literature review paper, the procedure and data analysis approach should be emphasized.
 
Results part is the most important portion of scientific publications since it contains the outcomes of data analysis and hypothesis testing, and they can be accompanied by tables or graphs to help explain the results verbally.
 
Discussion part should provide the advantage of the research results, not the portion where the results part is repeated.
 
Conclusion of the study is presented briefly in the conclusion part.
 

References in the article should cite the last name and year. If citing some authors, it should be ordered based on the most recent reference. If citing from the article written by two authors, all authors' names should be cited.
