2. Research literature
There is no need to separate books, thesis and articles in this section, and the sources should be arranged in chronological order (except for exceptional cases). Only the authors' last names and the year of publication should be mentioned in the text—the titles of books and articles or the first names do not need.
3. Theoretical foundations
4. Discussion
In Sections 3 and 4 (Theoretical Foundations and Discussion), the main and sub-titles should be separated by numbering. The numberings should be only up to three numbers and should be written from the right of the main title number and then the sub-numbers. For example, in Chapter 4, the main and sub-titles should be as follows: 4-1, 4-1-1, 4-1-2, etc.
5. Conclusion
Endnotes (if required)
Numbered footnotes include essential explanations of the article's content and English equivalents of words and terms at the end of the text and before the bibliography. Names of people should start with capital letters, and the font of English words should be Times New Roman.

To translate Persian and Arabic sources, be sure to use the English version registered in the existing databases.
