General Formatting Guidelines

The font used throughout the article (except for titles and the first page) should be Times New Roman, 12-point size. Titles should be formatted in Times New Roman, 12-point size. The page margins should be set to 2.5 cm for top, bottom, left, and right. The text should be justified with no hyphenation at line breaks. The text should be written as a single-column document. Paragraphs and headings should have a 1 cm indentation. Single line spacing should be used within paragraphs, and there should be a blank line between paragraphs.

Article titles should be written in Times New Roman, 12-point size, left-aligned, with a 1 cm indentation, and in bold. Please use capital letters only for the first letters, except for conjunctions and prepositions.

Subheadings should be written in bold and italics, with only the first letters capitalized except for conjunctions and prepositions. Subheadings should be in a standard format without any hierarchical structure. Therefore, headings should not be numbered in the texts.

Authors should avoid using footnotes or endnotes unless absolutely necessary. Instead, the APA 7 reference system should be used. If authors believe they need to use footnotes, they should prefer Times New Roman, 8-point size.

Emphasis should be expressed using quotation marks (" ") or italics. Please avoid using bold characters in the text.

Main Text

Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies should include the following sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion/Conclusion.

The Introduction section may include the conceptual/theoretical framework of the study, discussion of relevant literature, and the research aim that includes the problem statement or research questions. The discussion of relevant literature should provide a consistent analysis of the literature, highlight gaps and inconsistencies, and discuss actions to address these issues. The Introduction section should not contain any subsections.

The Methods section should include the research design or type of study (cross-sectional, longitudinal, survey, experimental, ethnographic, etc.), the sample and/or selection, the study population, data collection tools and methods, data analysis, and considerations of validity, reliability, and ethics.

The Results section should present the findings of the study in text, table, and figure format, and facilitate the interpretation of these results. The final section of the main text should draw conclusions from the previous section, compare them with relevant literature, and discuss the implications of the research findings considering policy, practice, and future research.

Other types of studies may allow minor variations in sections but should not include excessive details or subsections.

Tables and Figures

Please insert tables as editable text, not as images, although figures may be presented in different formats such as images. Table format: before and after: 0, single spacing. Tables and figures should be left-aligned and disable text wrapping. Table and figure numbers should be written in bold, Times New Roman font, size 12, such as "Table 1" or "Figure 1," while the remaining text in table and figure captions should be in standard font.
