results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is
often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Figures should be designated with Arabic numerals and upper case letters for their
parts (Figure 1). Each legend should begin with a title and should be sufficiently
described so that without reading the text, figure should be understandable. All
figures, tables, etc. must have a caption, centre-justified. Tables and figures should
appear as close to their point of reference as satisfactory formatting of the final
document permits

CONCLUSIONS
A conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate the abstract as
the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or
suggest applications and extensions. The first paragraph of this section presents the
main objective of the study. The 2nd paragraph discusses the summary of finding, the
3rd paragraph and succeeding paragraph presents the authors inferences based on
the findings of the study, implications to theoretical grounds of the study, and insights
from the study.

RECOMENDATIONS
The last paragraph focuses on the recommendations and future direction of the study
and the study limitations and how these limitations may be addressed in the study
replication.
