DETAILED GUIDELINES

1. Covering Letter

The manuscript must list a main author along with any co-authors. Author names should be written without academic titles or ranks. Clearly identify the corresponding author, as they will be responsible for managing all stages of the process before and after publication. The list should include the full names of both the main author and co-authors. The corresponding author is the one who agrees to handle all communication throughout the review, publication, and post-publication stages.

2. Title

The title represents a critical element in drawing the attention of prospective readers, who may also serve as future authors citing the work. It should clearly reflect the central problem addressed in the study and begin by stating the primary subject matter. An effective title must be precise, unambiguous, specific, and informative, offering a concise and accurate representation of the research content. The use of abbreviations and formulas should be avoided whenever possible to maintain clarity and readability.

3. Abstract and Keywords

A clear and concise abstract is required for each paper, consisting of approximately 150–250 words. The abstract should briefly outline the research objectives, key findings, and main conclusions. Since it may be published separately from the article, the abstract must be able to stand alone. It should be written as a single, unified paragraph covering the introduction and purpose, methods, results, conclusion, and recommendations, without using subheadings. References should not be included, and uncommon abbreviations should be avoided unless essential, in which case they must be defined at first mention. The abstract must be accompanied by relevant keywords.

Keywords are the labels of your manuscript and are critical to correct indexing and searching. Keywords should not be more than 5 words or phrases in alphabetical order which has not been used in the title. Therefore, the keywords should represent the content and highlight of your article. Use only those abbreviations that are firmly established in the field.

4. Introduction

The Introduction section should explain:

1. The background to the study
2. A summary of the existing literature
3. The reason why the study was necessary, and the novelty must be explained
4. Aims or objectives of the study
5. As you compose the introduction, think of readers who are not experts in this field.

5. Methods

This section should reflect the state of the art in educational physics and technology, demonstrating advanced perspectives and approaches, as well as potential innovations and contributions that are genuinely new to the field. The work should be comprehensive, not merely replicating previous studies or making minor modifications to existing methods and objects.

The methods section should include:

1. Specify the time and place of study in the first section
2. The aim, design, and setting of the study
3. The characteristics of participants or the description of material
4. A clear description of all processes and methodologies employed. Generic names should generally be used. When proprietary brands are used in research, include the brand names in parentheses
5. The type of statistical analysis used, including a power calculation if appropriate
6. Studies involving human participants, data or tissue, or animals must include a statement of ethics approval and consent

6. Results and Discussion

The Results and Discussion section must be presented as a single, continuous part. Findings should be organized from the main results to supporting data, accompanied by a thorough discussion. This section should demonstrate critical analysis and synthesis, including a detailed explanation of the results, their connection to existing concepts or theories, and a comparison with previous studies. The discussion should highlight whether the findings support, refine, or challenge earlier research. All measurements must follow the International System of Units (SI). Furthermore, the discussion should emphasize the significance of the study’s outcomes and clearly highlight differences between the current results and those reported in prior publications.

7. Conclusion

The conclusion should directly address the research objectives and be presented clearly, based on accurate and in-depth new findings. Such findings may include theories, postulates, formulas, principles, methods, models, or prototypes, and must be supported by adequate research data. Suggestions, placed after the conclusion, should provide recommendations related to the study or practical input for users. Both the conclusion and suggestions must be written in a single paragraph of fewer than 100 words.

8. Acknowledgement (If any)

Recognize those who helped in the research, especially the funding supporters of your research. Name the person to help you work.

9. References

The ratio of primary references to other references must be >80% in order to improve the quality of thoughts and ideas that were used as a writing framework. The primary reference is the result of direct research, including articles in scientific journals, proceedings, dissertations, theses, monographs, books, and others. The reference must be up to date, with a proportion of>80% for the last 10 years. Classical works can be referred to, but not to compare the discussion or to prove originality. Avoid excessive self-citation. 

• References must follow the APA 7th edition style. Please refer to the citation guide available on our website and the examples provided at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples
• All references should be managed using a reference management tool such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote. If you have the DOI for the journal article, include it as a link in the reference. If the article is without a DOI, provide the non-database URL of the article. (To find the DOI easily, see: http://doi.crossref.org/simpleTextQuery)
• Verify each citation in the text with the reference list for correct citation information.
• Shorten all long URLs with a web app.
• Need just a long title instead of an abbreviation in the reference list. For proper use of abbreviations, see https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/abbreviations/ 
• Need volume and issue numbers. If the article is online first in the journal, provide the statement “Advance online publication.” before the DOI link.  (see https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2012/08/almost-published.html)
• All article/book titles should be in sentence case. Edit all. See https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/sentence-case 
• To avoid ambiguity, when the in-text citations of multiple works with three or more authors shorten to the same form, write out as many names as needed to distinguish the references, and abbreviate the rest of the names to “et al.” in every citation. When only the final author is different, spell out all names in every citation. (see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/basic-principles/same-year-first-author)
