Abstract

Abstract in a single paragraph of between 150 and 200 words, clearly and concisely presenting the purpose and objective of the article. It is recommended to structure the abstract without explicit headings, following this order: (1) Background: place the issue addressed within a broader context and highlight the study’s objective; (2) Methods: describe the methodology used; (3) Results: summarize the most relevant findings; (4) Conclusions: state the main conclusions or interpretations derived. The abstract should objectively represent the content of the article, without including results not presented in the main text or exaggerating the conclusions.

Keywords

(Between 3-5 Keywords)

keyword: 1, keyword 2, keyword 3, keyword 4, keyword 5

Introduction

Page margins must follow these guidelines: 3 cm left margin, 2 cm right margin, and 2 cm top and bottom margins. The article should be written in justified paragraphs, using the Book Antiqua font, 12 pt, and single-spaced. The maximum length of the paper is 15 pages on A4 paper, including tables, figures, and appendices. Additional pages will incur an extra charge. In-text citations should follow APA style, for example: …….as stated (Edwards & Chelst, 2015).

The introduction must present the research background, the research gap being addressed, and the theoretical and practical contributions of the study. Ensure that previous research is presented sufficiently well to demonstrate that the author has mastered the body of knowledge in the literature. Present the introductory material in narrative paragraphs and avoid numbered lists or bullet points.

Conclusion

Conclusions and recommendations should be written in narrative paragraphs, not as a numbered list. For example… further research is needed on slope stability analysis using licensed Geostudio software to create simulations of retaining walls and backfilling, thereby yielding more accurate safety factors (FK).
