you present your 1. Research objectives, 2. Research theory, 3. Methodology (respondents, sampling, data
collection procedure, data analysis), 4. Main findings. Also make sure to italicize your abstract, and
remember that research practitioners will most likely read the title and the abstract first, so it is prudent that
your abstract is representative of your entire paper and it is free of any errors in content and linguistic
conventions. Below your abstract hasto be the keywords which can be in 4-5 words only. The margins for the
entire paper has to be 2 cm for top and bottom, and 2.5 cm for left and write. Use Times New Roman as the

that every format requirement is adhered.
