Abstract: A single paragraph of about 200 words maximum. For research articles, abstracts should give a
pertinent overview of the work. We strongly encourage authors to use the following style of structured
abstracts, but without headings: (1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and
highlight the purpose of the study; (2) Methods: briefly describe the main methods or treatments applied;
(3) Results: summarize the article's main findings; (4) Conclusions: indicate the main conclusions or
interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article, and it must not contain
results that are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main
conclusions.
Keywords: keyword 1; keyword 2; keyword 3 (List three to ten pertinent keywords specific to the article
yet reasonably common within the subject discipline.)

1. INTRODUCTION
The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It
should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should
be carefully reviewed, and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses
when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the principal
conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your
particular field of research. References should be numbered in order of appearance and indicated by a
numeral or numerals in square brackets—e.g., [1] or [2,3], or [4–6]. See the end of the document for
further details on references.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
A literature review surveys books, scholarly articles, and any other sources relevant to a particular issue,
area of research, or theory and, by so doing, provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of
these works in relation to the research problem being investigated. Literature reviews are designed to
provide an overview of sources you have explored while researching a particular topic and to demonstrate
to your readers how your research fits within a larger field of study References should be numbered in
order of appearance and indicated by a numeral or numerals in square brackets—e.g., [1] or [2,3], or [4–
6]. See the end of the document for further details on references.
3. MATERIALS AND METHODS

The Materials and Methods should be described with sufficient detail to allow others to replicate and
build on the published results. Please note that the publication of your manuscript implies that you must
make all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated with the publication available to
readers. Please disclose at the submission stage any restrictions on the availability of materials or
information. New methods and protocols should be described in detail, while well-established methods
can be briefly described and appropriately cited.
Research manuscripts reporting large datasets that are deposited in a publicly available database should
specify where the data have been deposited and provide the relevant accession numbers. If the accession
numbers have not yet been obtained at the time of submission, please state that they will be provided
during review. They must be provided prior to publication.
Interventionary studies involving animals or humans, and other studies that require ethical approval, must
list the authority that provided approval and the corresponding ethical approval code.
4. RESULTS
This section may be divided into subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the
experimental results, their interpretation, as well as the experimental conclusions that can be drawn.

4.2. Figures, Tables, and Schemes

All figures and tables should be cited in the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc.

Figure 1. This is a figure. Schemes follow the same formatting.

Table 1. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near the first time they are cited.

Figure 2. This is a figure. Schemes follow another format. If there are multiple panels, they should be
listed as (a) a Description of what is contained in the first panel; (b) a Description of what is contained in
the second panel. Figures should be placed in the main text near the first time they are cited. A caption on
a single line should be centered.
Table 2. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near the first time they are cited.
* Tables may have a footer.
4.3. Formatting of Mathematical Components
The text following an equation need not be a new paragraph. Please punctuate equations as regular text.
This is example 2 of an equation:

Vol. 1 No. 01 (2022): Dinkum Journal of Social Innovations © 2022 DJSI. All rights reserved

a=b+c+d+e+f+g+h w+x+y+z (2)

The text following an equation need not be a new paragraph. Please punctuate equations as regular text.
Theorem-type environments (including propositions, lemmas, corollaries, etc.) can be formatted as
follows:
Theorem 1. Example text of a theorem. Theorems, propositions, lemmas, etc., should be numbered
sequentially (i.e., Proposition 2 follows Theorem 1). Examples of Remarks use the same formatting but
should be numbered separately, so a document may contain Theorem 1, Remark 1, and Example 1.
The text continues here. Proofs must be formatted as follows:
Proof of Theorem 1. Text of the proof. Note that the phrase “of Theorem 1” is optional if it is clear
which theorem is being referred to. Always finish a proof with the following symbol. □
The text continues here.
5. 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.
6. CONCLUSIONS
This section is not mandatory but can be added to the manuscript if the discussion is unusually long or
complex.
7. PATENTS
This section is not mandatory but may be added if there are patents resulting from the work reported in
this manuscript.

DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT: In this section, please provide details regarding where data
supporting reported results can be found, including links to publicly archived datasets analyzed or
generated during the study. Please refer to the suggested Data Availability Statements in the section
"MDPI Research Data Policies" at https://www.mdpi.com/ethics. If the study did not report any data, you
might add "Not applicable" here.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: In this section, you can acknowledge any support given which is not covered
by the author's contribution or funding sections. This may include administrative and technical support or
donations in kind (e.g., materials used for experiments).
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Declare conflicts of interest or state, "The authors declare no conflict of
interest." Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived
as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results. Any role of
the funders in the design of the study, in the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data, in the writing of

APPENDIX A
The appendix is an optional section that can contain details and data supplemental to the main text—for
example, explanations of experimental details that would disrupt the flow of the main text but nonetheless
remain crucial to understanding and reproducing the research shown; figures of replicates for experiments
of which representative data is shown in the main text can be added here if brief, or as Supplementary
data. Mathematical proofs of results not central to the paper can be added as an appendix.
APPENDIX B
All appendix sections must be cited in the main text. In the appendices, Figures, Tables, etc., should be
labeled starting with "A"—e.g., Figure A1, Figure A2, etc.
REFERENCES
References must be numbered in order of appearance in the text (including citations in tables and legends)
and listed individually at the end of the manuscript. We recommend preparing the references with a
bibliography software package, such as EndNote, Reference Manager, or Zotero, to avoid typing mistakes
and duplicated references (but it is not mandatory). Include the digital object identifier (DOI) for all
references where available.

Citations and references in the Supplementary Materials are permitted, provided that they also appear in
the reference list here.

In the text, reference numbers should be placed in square brackets [ ] and placed before the punctuation;
for example, [1], [1–3], or [1,3]. For embedded citations in the text with pagination, use both parentheses
and brackets to indicate the reference number and page numbers; for example, [5] (p. 10) or [6] (pp. 101–
105).
