2. Implication: outlining theoretical, practical, or policy contributions.
The References must follow APA 7th Edition, include only cited sources, and consist of at least fifteen recent primary references from the last 5–10 years. Use citation managers (Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote) to ensure consistency.
