Include references (literature or relevant research results) using the source number in each sentence after the period (.) Adjusted to the Bibliography, for example, Cashew HO Research et al., 2016 health education through mobile health can increase the knowledge of pregnant women about the consumption of Fe.1 tablets
The introduction contains a general background review and literature review (state of the art). Try a minimum of 5 reviewed literature that can justify the novelty or uniqueness of this study compared to previous studies (usually 2-3 paragraphs).

Authors should provide an adequate background and concise literature survey to record the existing solutions/method, to show which is the best of previous research, to show the main limitation of the earlier researches, to show what you hope to achieve (to solve the limit), and to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Authors should state the objectives of the work at the end of the introduction section.
Method
This section explains the types of research, including quantitative and qualitative research. Qualitative research, such as case studies, phenomenology, ethnography, etc., needs to add a description of checking the validity of research results. Quantitative research explains the location and time of research, population and sample, sampling techniques, data collection techniques, data analysis, and data presentation. Research that uses tools and materials needs to write the specifications of the tools and materials used. Writing using Times New Roman 11 points (upright) with a space of 1.5.

Could you make the discussion correspond to the results but not reiterate them? Often, it should begin with a summary of the leading scientific findings (not experimental results).
The following components should be discussed: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide a scientific interpretation for your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?
Conclusions
The conclusion contains a summary of the description of the results and discussion concerning the research objectives. Suggestions are based on the research findings discussed. Conclusions should be answers to research questions and not expressed in statistical sentences. The explanation is in flowing paragraphs containing links between content and another.

Do not repeat the Abstract or just list experimental results. Provide a clear scientific justification for your work, and indicate possible applications and extensions. You should also suggest future experiments and/or highlight those underway.
