ABSTRACT:
(Your research elevator pitch in 250 words or less). Write a single, flowing paragraph summarizing your masterpiece. Use Font Times New Roman, size 12 and double spacing. Include your objectives, materials and methods, key findings, and your earth-shaking conclusions. Keep it concise but compelling—this is your chance to wow your readers at first glance. You can download any recently published article from Jfines.org to see how other authors did it.
Keywords— (Think hashtags, but science-y. Max: 4-5 comma seperated.): [Keyword 1], [Keyword 2], [Keyword 3], etc.
1. Introduction
(Set the stage! What’s the problem? Why does it matter? Sprinkle in a little drama if you like—it keeps things engaging.) Tell us what motivated your research and provide enough context to intrigue readers.
2. Materials and Methods
(Where science meets cooking instructions.)
Break down your experimental design, data collection, and analysis methods like a recipe—precise, clear, and repeatable. If applicable, start by Writing down all materials including chemicals used in the research in this section
3. Results and Discussion
(Ta-da! Your data’s moment to shine. Pair it with your brilliant interpretation.)
Combine these sections for JFINES. Present your findings logically with supporting figures and tables. Then, discuss what it all means, referencing relevant studies. Keep it thoughtful and avoid a data dump!
4. Conclusion
(Wrap it up with a bow.)
What did your research achieve? What’s the key takeaway? Inspire your readers with your final remarks and a look at what’s next.
Acknowledgments
(Shoutout to everyone who helped, from colleagues to funding agencies to your cat that sat by your laptop the whole time.) The heading of the acknowledgment and following sections below must not be numbered.
Conflict of Interest
(Be transparent. It’s cool to declare none, but if there’s something, spill the beans. Example conflict of interest: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
References
(Because no research stands alone—give credit where it’s due!)
For your citations and references, JFINES requires the use of the latest APA referencing style. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

Other Important Consideration When Preparing Your Manuscript.
When submitting your manuscript, we request that you include at least three reviewers whom you think would be suitably qualified to review your manuscript. Though this is not a requirement, including them can speed up the review process. Please send these in a separate file (not part of the manuscript). Include the reviewers name and email address. They can be from the same country as the principal author, but not from the same department of authors institution, and they should not have co-authored an article before.
Define each abbreviation and acronym the first time you use it, even if it has already been defined in the abstract. Avoid abbreviations in titles or headings unless absolutely necessary.
3. Units
· Use SI units as the primary system, with English units in parentheses if needed.
· For mixed units, clearly specify the units for each quantity in equations.
· Always include a zero before decimal points (e.g., "0.25" instead of ".25").
· Use standard notations like "cm³" instead of non-standard ones like "cc."
Number all equations sequentially, centering them in the text. Multilevel equations might need to be treated as graphics and inserted as images. Clearly define each symbol used in the equation either before or immediately after it, referring to it as "eq. (1)" in the text.
5. Figures and Tables
(Don’t make us squint. High-quality visuals are a must.)
Embed your figures and tables within the text, right where they are discussed. Include descriptive captions. Bonus points for readability and aesthetics!
· Number tables consecutively, and include a bold caption placed before the table (e.g., Table 1: Summary of Results).
· Ensure tables are integrated into the text at relevant points for easy reference.
Figures
· Number figures sequentially and include centered captions directly below each figure (e.g., Figure 1: Experimental Setup).
· When referring to figures in the text, use bold formatting (e.g., "As shown in Figure 1, the results indicate...").
