    • The existing solutions / state-of-the-art studies (including literature review, related works) should be concisely presented.
    • The gap analysis should be adequately explained. This gap may explain the main limitation or differentiation of approach from the previous research. It may show the scientific novelty of the proposed study. 
    • The study aim should be stated precisely and explicitly. This aim should be related to the research gap;
    • The literature review or related works should be included in the Introduction chapter, not as a separate chapter.
    • This discussion of related works can be presented as the literature review. However, It should not be presented as the review of the author-by-author results but should be grouped by their methods or topics.
  5. Research Methods: The research methods must contain the research procedure, used method/algorithm/model, datasets (including the amount and methods to obtain them), tool/platform/software, and test design. The review articles need not have this chapter.
    • The research procedure or framework describes the stages of research/development undertaken to achieve the research's objectives/outputs.
