METHODS
The results section is where you report the findings of your study based
upon the methodology [or methodologies] you applied to gather information.
The results section should simply state the findings of the research arranged in
a logical sequence without bias or interpretation. A section describing results
[a.k.a., “Findings”] is particularly necessary if your paper includes data
generated from your own research.
The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the significance
of your findings in light of what was already known about the research
problem being investigated, and to explain any new understanding or insights
about the problem after you’ve taken the findings into consideration. The
discussion will always connect to the introduction by way of the research
questions or hypotheses you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does
not simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; the discussion should always
explain how your study has moved the reader’s understanding of the research
problem forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction.
Manuscript should be typed using Microsoft Word. The font used throughout the
paper is Times New Roman. The paper size is B5 (JIS) (i.e. 10.12” x 14.33”), one-

The items on the reference list must be arranged according to APA Referencing.
(Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). For in-text

citing references within the text and page number. For example: 1 author (Creswell,
2008, p. 17), 2-5 authors (Miles & Huberman, 1994), 6 or more authors (Oliver et al.,

CONCLUSION
Papers accepted for publication are strictly limited to 2000-2500 words maximum
(5-7 pages) (including tables and figures) in a one-column format following
this template. The conclusion is intended to help the readers to understand
why your research should matter to them after they have finished reading the
paper. A conclusion is not merely a summary of the main topics covered or a
re-statement of your research problem, but a synthesis of key points and, if
applicable, where you recommend new areas for future research. For most
papers, one well-developed paragraph is sufficient for a conclusion, although
in some cases, a two or three paragraph conclusion may be required.
