Manuscript File

::: Do not add any of your information :::

Manuscripts submitted to EduRe should not exceed a length of 9,000 words, excluding references and any appendices.

It’s important to adhere to the requirement of not including any information about the author in the file. Authors are often instructed to anonymize their manuscripts during the review process to ensure a blind peer-review. To ensure compliance with this instruction:

• Document properties: Check the document properties to ensure that no author-related information is embedded in the file metadata.
• Acknowledgment section: If acknowledgments contain author information, consider removing or generalizing this section.
• File naming: Avoid using file names that reveal author identities.
• Citations and references: Modify any in-text citations or references that may indirectly reveal authorship.

Remember to review the specific anonymization guidelines provided by the journal or conference to which you are submitting. Adhering to these guidelines is essential to ensure a fair and unbiased peer-review process.

It's highly advisable to use EduRe's template when formatting your manuscript. Using the provided template ensures that your document follows the specific formatting requirements and guidelines set by EduRe. This helps to maintain consistency and streamlines the submission process.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, consider referring to the template documentation or reaching out to the editorial team.

Text Format:

When preparing your manuscript, please adhere to the following text formatting instructions:

• Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word.
• Use a standard, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times New Roman) for the text.
• Use 1.5 line spacing.
• Utilize italics for emphasis where needed.
• Employ the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
• Avoid using field functions in your document.
• Use tab stops or other appropriate commands for indents; refrain from using the space bar.
• Create tables using the table function within Word, not spreadsheets.
• For equations, use the equation editor or MathType.
• Save your file in either docx format (Word 2010 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).

Heads: When structuring your manuscript, use headings with no more than three levels and avoid numbering them. Here are some general guidelines:

Main Head: Bold, centered, and all words' first letters capitalized. Like as below:

Write text...

 

Secondary Head: Bold, align left and all words' first letters capitalized. As below:

Secondary Head Like as Participants or Data Tools

Write text... 

 

Third Head: Bold, align left, and only the first-word first letter capitalized. As below:

Third head like as the main survey: Write text...

By following these guidelines, you ensure that your manuscript is formatted correctly and aligns with EduRe's submission requirements. If you have any specific questions or encounter challenges during the submission process, refer to EduRe's guidelines or contact the editorial team for assistance.

Article Structure

Include a structured or unstructured abstract summarizing the key aspects of your research (should not exceed a length of 200 words).

When composing the introduction of your manuscript, adhere to the following guidelines:

• Objectives: Clearly state the objectives of your work. What do you aim to achieve or investigate?
• Background: Provide a sufficient background to contextualize your study. Offer the necessary information to help readers understand the significance of your work.
• Avoid detailed literature survey: While presenting the background, refrain from delving into a detailed literature survey. Focus on the essential context relevant to your study.
• Avoid result summaries: Similarly, avoid summarizing the results in the introduction. Save detailed discussions of results for the appropriate sections later in the manuscript.

To enhance clarity and provide a clear roadmap for your readers, consider including the problem statement, purpose, and research questions or hypotheses in the last paragraph of your introduction. This approach helps orient the reader and sets the stage for the rest of your manuscript. Here's a suggested structure:

Example:

"In summary, this study addresses the pressing issue of [Problem Statement]. The purpose of this research is to [Purpose], aiming to shed light on [specific aspect] and contribute valuable insights to [relevant field]. To guide our investigation, the following research questions/hypotheses will be explored: [List of Research Questions/Hypotheses]. By addressing these inquiries, we aim to [achieve specific objectives or outcomes], ultimately advancing our understanding of [research area]."

This approach ensures that the key components—problem statement, purpose, and research questions/hypotheses—are consolidated succinctly at the end of the introduction, providing a clear foundation for the rest of the manuscript. Adjust the language and structure as needed based on the specifics of your research and the guidelines of the journal you are submitting to.

In the Methods section of your manuscript, it is crucial to provide sufficient details to enable the reproducibility of your work by an independent researcher. Here are some key considerations:

• Summarize published methods: If you are using methods that have already been published, provide a concise summary and reference the original source.
• Quoting directly: If you directly quote a method from a previously published source, use quotation marks and provide a citation to acknowledge the source.
• Modifications: Clearly describe any modifications or adaptations made to existing methods. Specify the rationale behind the changes and provide detailed information to ensure clarity.

Do not make long method definitions.

The method generally includes the following headings.

Participants

Data Collection Tools

Data Analysis

When presenting results in your manuscript, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure clarity and conciseness:

• Clarity and conciseness: Present results in a clear and concise manner, focusing only on findings within the scope of your research.
• Relevance: Avoid including results that are not directly related to the objectives or research questions of your study.
• Discussion and interpretation: Each finding presented in the results section should be discussed and interpreted. Provide context, explain the significance of each result, and relate them to the broader research objectives.

When presenting the findings in your manuscript, align them with the corresponding research questions or hypotheses (be careful to present the findings during the research questions/hypotheses). Here's a suggested structure:

Research Question 1 (or Hypothesis 1)

Present the findings related to the first research question or hypothesis. Clearly state the results and provide any relevant statistical or qualitative data.

Research Question 2 (or Hypothesis 2)

Present the findings related to the first research question or hypothesis. Clearly state the results and provide any relevant statistical or qualitative data.

When presenting the discussion and conclusion in your manuscript, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure clarity and conciseness:

• Explore significance: In the combined Discussion and Conclusion section, focus on exploring the significance of the results rather than reiterating them. Offer insights into the broader implications of your findings and their contribution to the field.
• Limited literature citations: Minimize extensive citations and discussions of published literature. While providing context is important, the emphasis should be on interpreting your specific results.
• Main conclusions section: Present the main conclusions of the study in a short, standalone section. This section may follow the combined Discussion and Conclusion or be integrated within it.
• Logical flow: Ensure a logical flow from discussing the results to drawing conclusions. Clearly connect your interpretations to the research questions or hypotheses.

When presenting the discussion and conclusion in your manuscript, align them with the corresponding research questions or hypotheses (be careful to present the discussion and conclusion during the research questions/hypotheses).
