Template Paper

A template for an article in a journal is a pre-designed document that provides structure and formatting guidelines for authors to use when preparing their manuscripts for submission to the journal. Journal templates are typically provided by the publisher or the editor of the journal, and they can be in different formats, such as Word or other typesetting software.

A journal article template usually includes the following sections:

  1. Title: The title of the article should be concise, descriptive, and informative.

  2. Author Information: This section should include the names, affiliations, and contact details of all authors.

  3. Abstract: A summary of the article, highlighting the main points, objectives, and findings.

  4. Keywords: A list of keywords that describe the article's content and facilitate indexing and searching.

  5. Introduction: An introduction to the research problem, the motivation for the study, and the research questions or hypotheses.

  6. Related Works: A review of the relevant literature that establishes the context and theoretical framework of the study.

  7. Methods: A description of the research design, data collection methods, and data analysis procedures.

  8. Results: A presentation of the main findings of the study, using tables, figures, or graphs, as necessary.

  9. Discussion: An interpretation of the results, a discussion of their implications, and a comparison with previous research.

  10. Conclusion: A summary of the main findings and their significance, along with suggestions for future research.

  11. References: List all sources cited in the article, using a specific citation style, such as APA. Expect at least 30 references, preferably 100% from journals. References should be recent (5 years ago) and have a DOI.

Using a journal article template can help authors save time and effort in formatting their manuscripts and ensure consistency with the journal's guidelines. However, it is important to check the specific requirements and guidelines of the journal before using the template, as they may vary depending on the journal's scope, audience, and formatting preferences.
