It should review relevant literature to establish the study’s context and clearly state the research objectives or hypotheses. The introduction should conclude with a brief outline of the paper’s structure.

Main Body

This section consists of the Methodology, Results, and Discussion:

• Methodology: Describe the research methodology, data sources, experimental setup, or theoretical framework in detail.
• Results: Present findings using text, tables, and figures, ensuring clarity and conciseness.
• Discussion: Interpret the results, compare them with previous research, and highlight their implications. Discuss limitations and potential future research directions.

Conclusion
