The JDSAA paper should be no more than 15 pages, inclusive of tables, references, figure captions, footnotes, and endnotes. The research paper could be compiled with the followings: Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; State of Art; Significance/originality; Methods; Results; Conclusions; Acknowledgments; References; Appendices, as follows;
NOTE: all subtitles with the * symbol are mandatory in the research paper structure.
Title Page*
The Title should be informative, specific, and be an attractor to the content of the paper, capitalize each word (but not a, an, the….etc).
In the final published version, all authors' names, Authors’ institutions, Departments, Institution names, City names, and countries. Capitalize each word (but not a, an, the…..etc) format as shown in the (JDSAA typesetting template), and full email addresses.
NOTE:: All authors' names should be added to the JDSAA submission platform in the free-text box provided.

The conclusion/discussion section provides how the results/theoretical framework meets the research proposed hypotheses or the provided conceptual argument. Present any other claims that can be made based on these results/arguments. Theoretical and Editorial papers normally end with a restatement of the problem under investigation and a brief summary of the proposed solution(s)/theoretical approaches discussed.
