Author Guidelines

Attention:  Submitted papers undergo double-blinded peer-revision process and author(s) name(s) should not be mentioned anywhere. Put your name and the title of the article in the Application form and email it as a supplementary form.

While preparing your article for publication, please follow the template given below.

The length of the paper:

The length of the paper can vary depending on the specific requirements of the assignment or publication. However, in general, we  recommend that papers be between 2000 and 6000 words. 

Title of the paper

The title of the paper should be written in font 14, capitals, centralized.

Abstract

The paper should start with the abstract of 150-200 words. The abstract should give a brief account of the most relevant and important aspects of your paper. In the end of the abstract indicate three keywords of your paper.

1. Introduction

In this part introduce the paper. State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding details or a summary of the results.  

2. Article structure

Divide your paper into clearly defined and numbered sections. Each section should have a heading. Use numbers for section headings, use 12 font bold. Divide sections into subsections. Number subsections too and use 11 font italics. Subsections may also be given brief heading. Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to ‘the text’. Each heading should appear on its own separate line, such as:

1. The Heading of the section

     1.1 The heading of the subsection

     1.2

     Etc.

3. Methodology

In this section of your paper describe your own method of research. Methods already published should be referred to. After describing the method of research, arrange your paper in accordance with the subsections given below.

• Research participants

Describe the sample or participants of your study and the setting when relevant. In most studies your participants are likely to be people, but a sample can comprise of a group of cases or items. You should present information related to the sample, such as, how the sample was selected, the size of the sample, and relevant demographic characteristics about the sample. You, as the researcher-author, have to decide which demographic characteristics are relevant to your study, such as, for example, gender, age, etc. The exact information about the sample in your study (e.g., the average age or the number of males and females in each group) should provide a general description of the study’s participants.

3.2. Instrument(s)

Describe the instrument of the research when relevant. You should both describe the instruments you used in the study and explain their purposes. If you used existing instruments developed by others, you should report their reliability and validity. If you yourself developed a data collection instrument (e.g., a questionnaire or an achievement test), explain how you constructed it and the type of items you used. When appropriate, discuss how you assessed the instrument’s reliability and whether you piloted it first before using it.  The reviewers of the paper have the right to ask you to send the data to them.

3.3. Data collection procedures

In this section describe how the study was conducted. Explain, in as much detail as possible, what happened and how you carried out the research. This section is especially important in experimental studies that require a detailed description of the data. This section should also contain a realistic timetable for the different phases of the study.

3.4. Data analysis

Data collection procedures and data analysis can be combined under ‘Data collection and analysis’.

4. Results/Findings

This section presents the study’s findings. Results should be clear and brief. It includes numbers, tables, and figures (e.g., charts and graphs). The information presented in this section should be written objectively, factually and without expressing personal opinion.

It is your decision as to what data to present in a narrative form and what to present in tables or figures. Very often, the tables and figures are accompanied by a narrative explanation. You do not need to describe in words everything presented in a numerical or visual form. As the author, you should highlight the main findings, indicate the trends, and guide the reader through the information you present. You do not need to repeat in the narrative all the numerical information reported in the tables. Suppose your Results chapter includes a double-bar graph that is used to show trends and differences in the percentages of German and English learners of the 3^rd and 5^th grade pupils in private and state schools. You may explain that the trend is for the English learners to increase in private schools, whereas the percentage of German learners at state schools tends to increase.

Number tables in order as they appear in the text. Place footnotes below the table itself and name them with lowercase letters. Ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

5. Discussion

In this part of the study discuss, explain and interpret the results of the study. This part should explore the significance of the results of the study. Results and Discussion sections are often combined. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. The results are examined to determine whether the study’s hypotheses were confirmed. This section allows you to offer your interpretation and explain the meaning of your results. If the findings are different from those that were predicted by the hypotheses, you have to provide explanations for this. For example, in some studies, one may speculate that the responses given by the participants were contrary to what was expected because people were dishonest in their responses or were reluctant to share certain sensitive information with others.

6. Conclusions

The main conclusions of the study should be presented in a short Conclusions section, which should not simply repeat earlier sections.

Acknowledgements

Put acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research.
