The accuracy of the description (the description in the methods section must be unique or in accordance with each research, not the theory of the method.

Results and Discussion

The results and discussion are generally combined into one. Compare it with the data obtained by previous researchers who were used as a reference in the literature review.

Conclusion

Images and tables can be placed in 2 columns or in 1 column (adjusted to the size of the table, see example journal templates). Likewise, if the author uses mathematical equations. Especially for mathematical equations, you should write the equations using either the equation tool in word or auxiliary software such as Math Type which can be integrated in MS Office.
