Directions for Writing

  • Title

  • Informationabout the Author

  • Abstract

The abstract is a self-contained paragraph that summarizes the entire study; its purposes, methods, results, interpretations. The abstract of a research article seems first but it is often best to write this at last. The author would enclose an abstract containing approximately 250 words. It should deliver a concise summary of the objectives, methodology (including the species studied), key results, and major conclusions of the study. It should be written in complete sentences without subheadings.

  • Keywords

Keywords are words or phrases that describe the main content of your articles. A list of 4 to 6 keywords may also be provided after the abstract.

  • JEL Classification

The JEL classification of the article should be written below the Keywords.

  • Introduction

This section provides background information to the reader which leads from the general questions to what was actually done in the research study. It is, therefore, not the place for an exhaustive literature review but should indicate the scope of the study, why the study was conducted, and related work by others. The Introduction should be broad, specific, ending with an objective clearly and briefly.

  • Literature Review

This section of the article describes The literature review should provide a critical and analytical discussion of the existing theoretical and empirical studies relevant to the research topic. Authors should not merely summarize previous studies; rather, they should identify key findings, methodological approaches, research gaps, and areas of agreement or disagreement in the literature. The review should establish the context and rationale for the study, demonstrate how the current research contributes to existing knowledge, and clearly justify the research objectives or hypotheses. Preference should be given to recent and high-quality scholarly sources, while maintaining a logical flow that leads to the conceptual framework and research questions of the study.

  • Methods

This section of the article describes what was actually done in the research study; where, when, who, how, etc. A reader should be able to visualize exactly what the researcher did. In this section, the researcher should try to include important details but not irrelevant ones. The objectives should be in mind while writing the Methods. Sub- headings can be used to organize this section.

  • Discussion

The typical Discussion begins with a concise wrap-up of the salient results and then goes on to explain what they mean. In this section, one can interpret what he has. The discussion will be easy to follow for the reader if it is organized around the objectives of the study. Think clearly and write concisely.

  • Conclusion/Findings/Recommendations

What happened? It is important that the results be presented with an organizational structure that matches the objectives of the study. The results should be written out so that the reader does not have to study tables or graphs to get the general picture. So, the conclusions should be presented in a logical sequence. The findings of the research should be clearly mentioned on which recommendations are made accordingly.

  • References and Bibliography
  1. Allpapers cited in the body of the paper must be referenced and no paper should be referenced if it has not been 
  2. Second,it is important as a professional courtesy to reference people’s ideas so it does not seem that you have thought up everything  It is not necessary to cite every paper ever published on the subject but reference to a key early paper or a recent review of the subject is good practice.
  3. Regardingreferences, you should only cite papers that you have actually read and used for preparation of your article.
