1. Introduction
The introduction should clearly define the research problem, provide relevant background information, and outline the research questions or hypotheses. Establish the importance of the topic and highlight the gap in the existing literature that your research aims to address. This section should end with a clear statement of the article’s aims and contributions.
2. Literature Review
This section critically reviews existing literature relevant to your research question. It should synthesize previous findings, identify key debates and controversies, and demonstrate how your research builds upon or challenges existing knowledge. Organize the literature review thematically, rather than chronologically, to highlight the key concepts and arguments.
2.1 Theoretical Framework
Clearly articulate the theoretical framework underpinning your research. Explain the key concepts and assumptions that guide your analysis. Discuss the strengths and limitations of this framework in the context of your research question.
2.2 Previous Empirical Studies
Summarize and critique previous empirical studies that have investigated similar research questions. Highlight the limitations of these studies and explain how your research addresses these limitations.
3. Methodology
This section provides a detailed description of your research methods. It should include information about the research design, data collection procedures, and data analysis techniques. Ensure that the methodology is clearly explained and justified. Address potential limitations of the methodology and explain how you mitigated these limitations.
3.1 Data Collection
Describe the data collection methods used in your research. This may include surveys, interviews, experiments, or archival data. Provide details about the sample size, sampling procedures, and data sources.
3.2 Data Analysis
Explain the data analysis techniques used to analyze your data. This may include statistical analysis, qualitative coding, or content analysis. Justify the choice of these techniques and explain how they are appropriate for addressing your research questions.
4. Results
This section presents the findings of your research. Present the results clearly and concisely, using tables, figures, and other visual aids to illustrate your findings. Avoid interpreting the results in this section; interpretation should be reserved for the discussion section.

5. Discussion
This section interprets the findings of your research and discusses their implications. Compare your findings to previous research and explain how they support or contradict existing theories. Discuss the limitations of your research and suggest directions for future research. Highlight the practical implications of your findings.
6. Conclusion
The conclusion summarizes the key findings of your research and restates the article’s aims and contributions. Emphasize the significance of your findings and their implications for future research and practice.
