JIRBDAI Research Article Template

JIRBDAI expects research articles to follow this outline:

1. Abstract

Your abstract should not be more than 250 words containing the following:

• Background/Introduction (1–2 sentences): Provide a brief context for the research. Highlight the problem or gap that your study addresses.
• Objective (1 sentence): Clearly state the purpose or aim of the research.
• Methods/Approach (2–3 sentences): Summarize the methodology, including the design, data sources, and analytical tools used.
• Key Findings/Results (2–3 sentences): Highlight the main results or discoveries. Use specific numbers or trends where possible.
• Conclusion/Significance (1–2 sentences): Summarize the implications or importance of your findings. Optionally, mention recommendations or future directions.

2. Introduction

The introduction sets the stage for your research. It should:

• Present the Problem: Clearly outline the problem or research gap your study addresses. Use compelling statistics, anecdotes, or recent developments to grab attention.
• State the Research Objectives: Highlight the specific objectives of the study.
• Explain the Motivation: Show why this research is important—its practical implications or contributions to knowledge.
• Provide Context: Briefly describe the field and connect your work to it without delving too much into related work (reserved for the next section).
• End with a Thesis Statement: Conclude the introduction by outlining your research hypothesis or key contributions.

3. Related Works (Literature Review)

The related works section reviews prior research, helping situate your study within the broader academic context.

• Organize Chronologically or Topically: Discuss the most relevant works either by timeline or by themes.
• Highlight the Gaps: Identify areas where previous studies fall short or lack exploration.
• Connect to Your Study: Show how your work addresses the identified gaps or advances existing knowledge.
• Be Concise and Analytical: Avoid lengthy descriptions; instead, critically analyze the relevance and shortcomings of the literature.

4. Methodology

The methodology details how the research was conducted, ensuring reproducibility.

• Describe the Approach: Clearly state the research design (e.g., experimental, observational, computational).
• Detail the Tools/Frameworks: Specify software, datasets, models (e.g., ARIMA, STRIDE), or algorithms used.
• Explain Data Collection: Provide information on how data was gathered, including sources, sampling techniques, and timeframes.
• Outline the Process: Explain steps in the analysis, model implementation, or experimental setup.
• Justify Choices: Explain why certain methods, models, or parameters were selected.

5. Results and Discussion

This section presents findings and interprets their significance.

• Separate Results from Interpretation: Use subsections if necessary (e.g., Results, Discussion).
• Be Clear and Logical: Present results in a logical order, using tables, graphs, or charts for clarity.
• Interpret Results: Explain what the findings mean in the context of the research questions.
• Compare with Literature: Relate results to previous studies. Highlight consistencies or deviations and their implications.
• Discuss Limitations: Address potential weaknesses or unexpected results and their causes.
• Emphasize Implications: Highlight the practical, theoretical, or societal relevance of the results.

6. Conclusion

The conclusion summarizes key findings and their broader implications.

• Recap the Research Objectives: Briefly restate the problem and objectives.
• Highlight Key Findings: Summarize your main results and their significance.
• State Contributions: Emphasize how your study advances the field or solves the problem.
• Offer Recommendations: Suggest practical applications or future research directions.
• Avoid Repetition: Do not simply copy-paste sentences from earlier sections; rephrase them succinctly.
