          -Background: Background provides the state of the art of the study and                    consists of an adequate background, previous research in order to record                  the  existing solutions/method to show which is the best, and the main                      limitation of previous research, to show the scientific merit or novelties of                  the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
         -Objective: The objective should state the major aim of the research.
         -Methods: Method consists of research design, place and time of research,                population and sample, data measurement and data analysis method.                      Provide sufficient details of the methods including the ethical conduct.

Results should be clear, concise and can be                reported on texts or graphics. Please provide some introduction for the                      information presented on tables or images.
        -Discussion:  The discussion should explore the significance of the results of           the study. The following components should be covered in discussion: How do         your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the                      background section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for                each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent            with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any                 differences? 
     -Conclusion
     Conclusions should answer the objectives of research telling how advanced the       result is from the present state of knowledge. Conclusions should be clear in          order to know it merits publication in the journal or not. Provide a clear                      scientific justification and indicate possible applications and extensions.                   Recommendation should also be pointed out to suggest future research and            implication in the development of engineering
   -Acknowledgments (if any):Briefly acknowledge research funders, and any             research participants in this section.
   -Reference: The Reference consists of all references used to write the articles.         Ensure that citations used are as contemporary as possible, including those            from the current year of writing. Delete older literature citations (more than 10        years) unless these are central to your study. References should avoid the use of    secondary citations (if necessary use max 20% of citations).

  4. The structure of article of literature study is title, name of author (with no                  academic title); abstract; keywords; background; objectives; methods (please            describe searching databases, how many article retrieved); results (summary           from the research review); discussion; or conclusion; and references.

  5. Every table is typed on 1 space. Number of table is systematic as mentioned            on the texts and completed with short title each.
