Title - Make sure that the title is specific and concise. Titles should be presented in title case - all words except the first word should be in lower case letters.

Introduction - The introduction section should provide a context for your manuscript. When preparing the introduction, please bear in mind that some readers will not be experts in your field of research.
Main body - the main body part should include the main proposed ideas, results and discussions.

An effective conclusion should provide closure for a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully explained.

Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors.
