Structure and Format of the Article
Authors are encouraged to structure their manuscripts according to the following general framework. The structure may be adapted where appropriate, provided that academic clarity and coherence are maintained.
Title
The title should precisely and concisely reflect the main problem addressed in the manuscript and clearly indicate its content. It should be informative and engaging, encouraging interest in the research topic. The recommended maximum length of the title is 20 words.
Author Information and Affiliation
The manuscript should include the author’s full name, academic degree (if applicable), academic position, institutional affiliation, country, email address, and ORCID iD (where available).
Abstract
The abstract precedes the main text and provides a concise and accurate summary of the article. It should clearly state the research problem, objectives, methodology, and main findings. The abstract should allow readers to understand the essence of the study without reading the full text and to decide on its relevance.
The recommended length of the abstract is 150–250 words.
Keywords
Authors should provide three to five keywords that accurately reflect the topic and core focus of the research.
Introduction
The introduction should present the relevance of the research topic, define the subject and objectives of the study, and outline the research questions. A brief review of relevant literature should be included to identify existing research gaps and to highlight the novelty and contribution of the paper. A short outline of the article’s structure at the end of the introduction is recommended.
Methodology
This section should describe the research design, approaches, and methods employed (e.g., theoretical, computational, empirical, comparative, or mixed methods). Authors should justify the choice of methods and explain how they contribute to achieving the research objectives. For conceptual or theoretical studies, methodological considerations may be integrated into the introduction.
Results and Discussion
This section presents the core content of the research. It should describe the research process and provide a clear analysis and interpretation of the results. The discussion should demonstrate logical reasoning and link the findings to existing literature, theoretical implications, or practical applications.
The main body of the article should be organized into clearly defined sections and subsections to ensure clarity and readability.
Conclusion
The conclusion summarizes the main findings of the study, highlights its scientific contribution and novelty, and discusses its theoretical or practical significance. Where appropriate, recommendations and directions for future research may be included.
Tables, Figures, and Appendices
Tables and figures may be included where they contribute to clarity and understanding. Each table and figure should have a clear title and be numbered consecutively. Extensive supplementary material may be placed in an appendix at the end of the article.
References
All sources cited in the manuscript must be listed in the References section at the end of the article and must be cited in the text. References should be arranged alphabetically.
Titles of non-English sources should be translated into English, with the original language indicated in parentheses (e.g., in Georgian, in German).
References should be formatted consistently according to a recognized academic style (e.g., APA).
