Methodology Guidelines

This section should be written as a narrative story. It should be informative enough to enable readers to interpret the results objectively or use the methods for a similar study, without requiring further clarifications. As such, avoid vague or confusing statements. Particular attention should be paid to the study variables, treatments and their structure, design, analysis and other statistical considerations.

The sequence of implementation of the study should be followed strictly. For cases where multiple procedures and models exist, the choice of one may need justification. In such cases, citations of credible and latest sources of relevant information should be included. In all cases, please cite the developer and not the user of a procedure.

Select 5 important words from the Abstract, excluding those in the title. These words are useful for retrieval of the paper from various repositories. Separate the words using commas and arrange them alphabetically
