Third, a critical literature review of relevant studies (state of the art), particularly from reputable national and international journals published within the last ten years. This review should not merely summarize previous studies, but critically analyze and position the author’s research among existing works.

Fourth, a clear, specific, and operational formulation of the research objectives and/or research questions. Where appropriate, implicit research hypotheses may be included.

The introduction must demonstrate a logical progression from general issues to the specific research focus and clearly emphasize the scholarly contribution (novelty) of the article.

RESEARCH METHODS The research methods section is presented descriptively and analytically in narrative paragraphs and comprises approximately 10–15% of the total article length. The methods must be written in sufficient detail, systematically, and in a manner that allows replication by other researchers.

At a minimum, the research methods should include: (1) type and research approach (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, library research, case study, ethnography, and others); (2) research location and time frame (for field research); (3) research subjects and/or objects along with their characteristics; (4) data collection techniques and procedures, such as observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, or textual analysis; (5) research instruments used, including instrument validity and reliability (where relevant); (6) data analysis techniques, whether statistical analysis, thematic analysis, discourse analysis, or other analytical approaches appropriate to the research design.

The methodological explanation must demonstrate coherence between research objectives, data collection techniques, and analytical strategies employed.
