ABSTRACT: The abstract is a summary of the article. It consists of the research objective, research methods, results and discussion, and conclusion. Implications or recommendations can be added in the abstract. The abstract must be written in 150 - 250 words. The abstract must not contain lengthy background information and have no reference to figures, tables, equations, or any bibliographical reference either coming within or from another article.

The discussions must connect with the Introduction so it tells how your study contributes to the body of knowledge and society.

CONCLUSION: The conclusions show the answer or clarification of the research questions and opportunities for future research.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: The authors must acknowledge any sources of funding that supported the research and may acknowledge the outside reviewers of their drafts.

REFERENCES: The references must consist of 80% from relevant and recent primary sources (such as articles from journals or conferences from the last 5 years). Citations and References are adapted from IEEE style and use reference manager software (Mendeley, Zotero, etc). However, some adjustments are made to suit the needs of ATT.
