The First; Quotation, Citation, and Footnote Guidelines (Turabian 8th)
The typeface used in the body of the article is Aptos 12 point, with line spacing set to 1. Quotations are presented in the form of indirect quotations, i.e. paraphrasing. A reference must also be provided at the end of every citation that paraphrases ideas derived from someone else's work. At the end of every quotation, you are required to place its reference(s) in footnote style, following the Turabian 8th edition guidelines. For citations taken from any previous reference that has not been subsequently cited, the format is as follows: simply mention the author's last name and a shortened version of the work's title. The use of citation management software (such as Mendeley or Zotero) with the Turabian 8th edition format is mandatory.
The Second; Aspect of the Discussion, the Style of Other References
Examples of references other than book are paper in a journal, or this journal, websites, magazines and newspapers, reports, book chapters, a master thesis, and a PhD thesis. Please provide a complete internet url whenever available along with the date access (see footnote 8th).
The Third; Aspect of the Discussion, and so on
It is possible to add sections as needed. A section may consist of several sub-sections, typed in bold-italic and numbered list style, like the following example.
Sub-Section as Part of its Parent Section
You do not need to add any special indentation in typing body text under sub-section heading. The body text here is typed just like any other body text.
Another Sub-Section
Although you may need another sub-heading under this “sub-section”, it is strongly not recommended to do so. Instead, please arrange your discussion and explanation in narrative paragraphs. In addition, listing style of text paragraph is also not suggested.

16. DISCUSSION - Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted from the perspective of previous studies and the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted.

17.  CONCLUSION - The conclusion should summarise the main state of play at the point of writing and consider the next steps. Summarise and conclude, restating the main argument and presenting key conclusions and recommendations—state how your findings/new framework can be applied in practice. Explain what the implications are for further research.

Tips:

1. State your conclusions clearly and concisely. Be brief and stick to the point;
2. Explain why your study is important to the reader. You should instill in the reader a sense of relevance;
3. Prove to the reader, and the scientific community, that your findings are worthy of note. This means setting your paper in the context of previous work. The implications of your findings should be discussed within a realistic framework, and;

For most essays, one well-developed paragraph is sufficient for a conclusion, although in some cases, a two or three paragraph conclusion may be required. Another important things about this section is (1) do not rewrite the abstract; (2) statements with "investigated" or "studied" are not conclusions; (3) do not introduce new arguments, evidence, new ideas, or information unrelated to the topic; (4)do not include evidence (quotations, statistics, etc.) that should be in the body of the paper.
