Abstract

Background: Author should provide an adequate background and concise literature survey in order
to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous researches, to show
the main limitation of the previous researches, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the
limitation), and show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. The author should state the
objective of the work at the end of the introduction section.

Methods: All statistical methods used should be described in detail in the methods section of the
manuscript. Wherever possible give the numbers of subjects studied (not percentages alone).
Statistical methods should be clearly explained and their analyses must be explained on the methods
used. Define statistical terms, abbreviations, and most symbols. Specify the computer software used.

Results: Results should be clear and concise. The result should summarize (scientific) findings rather
than provide data in great detail. For tables, they are sequentially numbered followed by a brief
descriptive title above the table. Do not embed tables as graphic files. Define all abbreviations used
in the table in footnotes to the table.

Conclusions: Conclusions should answer the objectives of the research. Tells how your work
advances the field from the present state of knowledge. Without a clear conclusion, the reviewer,
and readers will find it difficult to judge the work, and whether or not it merits publication in the
proceeding.

INTRODUCTION

Author should provide an adequate background and concise literature survey in order to

main limitation of the previous research, to show what do you hope to achieve (to solve the
limitation), and show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. The author should state the

METHODS

All statistical methods used should be described in detail in the method section of the
manuscript. Wherever possible give the numbers of subjects studied (not percentages alone).
Statistical methods should be clearly explained and their analyses must be explained on the methods
used. Define statistical terms, abbreviations, and most symbols. Specify the computer software used.
The author should make readers able to reproduce the analysis. Provide sufficient detail to
allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference:
only relevant modifications should be described.

Subheading 1 (if any)

Please write the ethical clearance approval along with the ethics letter’s reference number
of the patient’s informed consent statement in the method.

Subheading 2 (if any)

Please write the ethical clearance approval along with the ethics letter’s reference number
of the patient’s informed consent statement in the method.

RESULTS

Result should be clear and concise. The result should summarize (scientific) findings rather
than provide data in great detail. For tables, they are sequentially numbered followed by a brief
descriptive title above the table. Do not embed tables as graphic files. Define all abbreviations used
in the table in footnotes below the table.

Figures are sequentially numbered commencing at number 1 with the figure title below the
figure. Figures with multiple parts should be labeled and referred to as (A), (B), (C), etc. Mask any
patient identification in photographs; otherwise, a signed permission statement is required. Please
submit the-high resolution quality figures.

DISCUSSION

This section is about interpreting the findings, placing them in a bigger context, relating
them to other work, and presenting take-home messages. Unlike for methods and results, the
author has a lot of freedom how to write the discussion section-probably even more so than for the
introduction. A discussion focuses on your results initially, but then ultimately must leave a clear
impression on the reader on how the results contributed to resolving the broad issues that you
outlined at the beginning of the introduction.
