The only punctuation allowed in the title is the comma. It must explicitly address the content of the article. Its maximum length will be fifteen words.
Abstract: It is self-sufficient to understand all the content of the article. It should outline the object of study, the objective, methodology, findings, and conclusions synthetically. Its maximum length is 150 words.
Keywords: There can be four or five. They are concepts written simply with a single word or compound form. They cannot be author names. They must exclusively point to the content of the article.
The basic structure of articles should be introduction, methodology, findings, discussion. It is not necessary to call them that, but these four elements should be easily understood within the article regardless of the order. For example, the methodology can be at the end of the introduction or findings can be analyzed and discussed repeatedly throughout the study (this is an author's style aspect, the important thing is to be able to notice that the elements are present).
