KEYWORDS, a list of keywords may also be included on the title page. It contains a maximum of 5 keywords which can be single words/phrases. Keywords are sorted alphabetically and separated by a semicolon (;).
INTRODUCTION, the introduction contains the background or main problems and research objectives which are supported by the latest results as a basis for reference. Prioritized journal, proceedings, thesis, or dissertation as references, no longer than 1000 words.
METHODS, the method is an explanation of the experimental design and the parameters of the research observation. Methods should be brief (no more than 600 words) but detailed enough to allow repetition of work by other qualified researchers.

The references used are the primary reference with more than 80% priority. Present the results as concisely as possible in one of the following: text, figure(s), or active table(s) that can be edited by the editor. Number figures and tables according to the order of citation in the text.
CONCLUSIONS, It must answer the research objectives which is a summary of the research findings. Conclusions should be presented briefly, and clearly based on the results and discussion of the research.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (optional) contains gratitude to individuals or institutions who contributed to the research or provide funds for conducting research, written in paragraphs.
REFERENCES, It is required to use a new reference source for at least the last 5 years, and 80% comes from the primary reference. References are sorted according to the alphabet, following the American Psychological Association (APA) format. Preferably using the Mendeley App or EndNote and adding the DOI or online pdf link.

- Submit each illustration as a separate file.
- Ensure that color images are accessible to all, including those with impaired color vision.
Formats
If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply 'as is' in the native document format. Regardless of the application used other than Microsoft Office, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'Save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
- EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
- TIFF (or JPEG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones), keep to a minimum of 300 dpi.
- TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black & white pixels) line drawings, keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi.
- TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.
Please do not:
- Supply files that are optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); these typically have a low number of pixels and limited set of colors

If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color online (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version.
3. Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
