• Authors without an ORCID code should register at https://orcid.org/, and in articles with more than one author, each of the authors should indicate their ORCID numbers.

Structure of the article: Articles should consist of Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Body: numbered paragraphs, (method, proof of claim) Conclusion and Referenced literature sections.

Abstract: A brief but comprehensive description of the content of the article. So, the summary should provide concise information about each important part of the article (Introduction, Main part).

Abstract

• It should correctly reflect the purpose and content of the article;
• Information that is not in the article should not be included;
• Repetition should not be allowed;
• The first sentence of the summary should reflect the most important point of the article;
• Unnecessary, meaningless sentences should not be included;
• References should not be used;
• The conclusion from the article should not be reflected.

Keywords: allow the reader to find our article more easily.

Introduction: The introduction is the development of the problem under investigation, including its historical background and statement of the purpose of the study. (American Psychological Association, 2010) The main purpose of this section, which consists of a maximum of 1 page, is to provide preliminary information about the selected topic.

1. Introduce the problem: The paper outline begins with an introduction that introduces the research topic and describes the research strategy.

Before writing an entry, consider the following questions:

– Why is solving the problem important? (why is it relevant?)

– How does the research relate to previous work in this field?

-If other aspects of the study have been presented before, how does this report differ from others and on what differences is it based?

-What are the primary and secondary hypotheses and objectives of the study?

– If so, what are their connections with the theory?

-How are hypotheses and research design related?

– What are the theoretical and practical results of the research?

A good introduction answers these questions and summarizes relevant arguments and information, allowing the reader to understand what is being done and why.

2. Discover the importance of the problem: State why the problem is being investigated.

– If a theoretical study: A theoretical study may need to expand access and/or address inconsistencies in results obtained in past studies.

– If applied research: may involve the need to solve a social problem.

– When the research aims to resolve controversial issues, the introduction should present all aspects of the discussion in a measured manner.

– Clearly state why the reported content is important and how the article fits into the growing understanding of the field.

3. Cite related studies: Even if you cite studies in the literature, do not provide a detailed and lengthy history.

– References to earlier works will both give an appropriate date and demonstrate the importance attached to the work of others. This is also the scholarly responsibility of an enlightened writer and is necessary for the development of science that grows with knowledge.

– The introduction should not refer to general studies that are not directly related to the topic.

– Avoid unnecessary details. Instead, talk about relevant findings, methodological challenges, and key implications

4. State the hypothesis and research design consistent with this hypothesis: After presenting the problem and referring to previous studies, you should explain what approach you have chosen to solve the problem.

– In empirical research, you can often achieve this by stating your hypothesis or main question, or by explaining how they arise from theory or logically relate to previous data and discussion.

– Clearly state your reasoning for each hypothesis or question.

– If some of your hypotheses and questions come before others, list them first and explain how your research design supports your hypothesis. (APA Publication Manual, 2015)

Body: The statement of the problem should include a number of issues such as the solution to the problem. It may consist of several subheadings. These subsections include information important to understanding and replicating the study. Insufficient detail leaves the reader with questions; Too much detail overwhelms the reader with irrelevant information. (APA, 2010) All information reflected in the main part of the article should be given adequately and in a certain order. Method and Proof of Claim should be included in the body. A method is a description of the procedures used to conduct a study.

Result:

At the end of the article, according to the nature of the scientific field and the article, the scientific novelty, applied importance, economic benefit, etc. of the work should be clearly stated.

Result:

• Must be clear and simple;
• The analysis of the article should be summarized;
• innovations should not be presented in detail;
• not only the expected results, but also those contrary to expectations should be reflected;
• can suggest future research on the topic

You can also consider the following issues:

What is the theoretical, clinical, or practical significance of the results, and what is the basis for these interpretations? Are applications guaranteed based on this research? What problems remain unsolved or new problems arise because of these findings? (APA, 2010)

Image, table, photos. A maximum of 10 images are allowed. Figures, tables and photographs should not exceed the text area and, if necessary, each should be on a separate page.

• Figures and tables should be numbered and named according to their content. See: Figure 1,2,3
• All figures in the article should be cited in the text.
• All photos, pictures and notes used should be directly related to the topic of the article, and attention should be paid to their proportionality with the text they are related to.
• All visuals to be submitted must be in jpeg format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi (600 dpi without color) (images with poor image quality will not be used).
• The source used for the image (table, photo) should be mentioned.

Musical notes

Not manuscripts, but notes compiled with one of Siberius, MusScore, and Finale programs should be used.
