  9. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (OPTIONAL)
    Acknowledge institutions or individuals who contributed funding, research assistance, or other support for the study and manuscript preparation.
  10. REFERENCES
    • Original research manuscripts: Cite at least 10 sources.
    • Review manuscripts: Cite at least 25 sources, of which at least 80% should be primary publications (international journals or nationally accredited journals).
    • References should be published within the last ten years.
