All of these should be put together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle so that at the end of this section, the reader has an overview of all the information used in this article.

Research background

In this first section, introductory material on the subject of research is stated, and then research backgrounds are reviewed. A logical inference is then made from the background review, and the existing research vacuum (s) are shown. Obviously, the best method of review is the analytical or analytical-critical method in which the backgrounds are grouped based on the similarities of the approach, regardless of the time and place, and the researcher's opinion (s) are expressed towards them.

Theoretical foundations of research

In this section, the theories that the researcher has used in his article are briefly mentioned. It should be noted that the theories mentioned in this section should be explained and interpreted by the researcher in the research results section and based on the research findings.

research method

This section includes the research design, method or approach (with a detailed description of the general method and the specific method of conducting the research), the research community, data collection tools, and data analysis methods. In the first stage, the researcher must explain the research method and research design, whether quantitative or qualitative, so that the reader gets a clear picture of what has been done during the research. Therefore, it is necessary to provide accurate and clear explanations of the process to the research findings.

The researcher must identify the target population so that the reader of the research knows who this research is aimed at. It should then identify the subjects or participants in the study who actually determined the research sample. Of course, in case studies, the method of sample selection and the type of subject are different from the samples of other researches.

The next step is for the researcher to determine the research tool (data collection). In this section, it is necessary to pay attention to this point, if the device and tools used in the scientific community are known, there is no need for an accurate and complete explanation, and only mentioning the name of the test or research tool along with a brief explanation about reliability and The validity of the tool is sufficient. But if the research tool is designed by the researcher himself, a full explanation of how to evaluate the reliability and validity of the tool is needed. Then the method of data analysis should be described, and the statistical steps taken should be mentioned.

It should be noted that to explain and express the collected data, it is enough to use one of the chart, shape, and table tools. In cases where the research has a question, the answer to the question should be explained clearly and unambiguously. If there is a hypothesis in the research, the tests should be described accurately and the rejected or confirmed hypotheses should be identified.

Discussion

The main value of the research lies in this section. Because the research findings are determined, and the researcher's final understanding of the research is expressed. In general, in this section, accurate interpretation of the data and expression of the researcher / s view towards the findings, comparison of the research findings with the findings of previous researches and showing the position of the research among similar researches, brief statement of the limitations faced by the research. And research proposal (s) inferred from research findings.

Method of writing sources and references
