1. Introduction

It is anticipated that authors would provide meticulously crafted and edited content. It is important to carefully check for spelling and grammar mistakes.

The background of the topic, the work of the author/s, the methods employed, the findings, and their conclusion regarding the significance of the study should all be properly described in the paper. English and Arabic languages are allowed to be used when preparing papers. Papers must be written in either American or British English, but they be consistent to one accent across the manuscript. Technical words should be defined unless the conference community is deemed to be familiar with them.

2. Literature review

There is no strict set of rules that prescribes the numbers of references that should be included in the literature section. However, as a rule of thumbs, every claims or important statement in the paper should be supported by at least one reference. References should be reasonably recent, key references and seminal works relevant to the field of study should be included.

Please take note that when there are more than two authors, just the first author's last name appears, followed by "et al." in italics, one space, and the publishing year. When multiple articles are cited, a semicolon (;) and a space must be placed in between.

3. Data and method

The approach and/or research design, data collecting, and data analysis that have been used in the study should all be explicitly covered in the research methodology. The suitability of the methodology chosen and whether it is the best option when compared to other options are among the most crucial topics to be covered here. This is an opportunity for the authors to show that they are aware of and comprehend (appropriately for the level of study) the research instruments frequently employed in their field and how this knowledge helps them to build a solid methodology to address the research questions and problems. Keep in mind that not every publication will include a formal part on research methods because some may be critical reviews, scoping papers, etc.

4. Result and discussion

This section presents the study's results. The author/s should correctly label and cite tables and figures. The discussion should critically examine the findings in the context of the research objectives and the existing literature.

Tables and Figures

Table headings and figure captions should be adequate to describe the figure or table without requiring the reader to consult the text. The figures and tables' footnotes should use 10-point Times New Roman. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first cited in the text using arabic numerals for numbering.

5. CONCLUSION

Conclusions should briefly report the objective, data and method, and results of the study as well as the practical implications of the results.
