2.2.2. Third degree heading (one space before heading, heading is italic) (12 pt)
3. Results and Discussion (13 pt)
Charts/Tables
They should be centered and placed within the page boundaries, numbered sequentially. Table numbers and names should be centered above the table, in bold, 12 point, with only the first letter capitalized. Tables must be cited in the text before the table. Numbers and texts in the rows and columns of the table should be written in 11 point font. However, when necessary, the font size can be reduced to at least 10 points without exceeding the text limits.
Figures should be centered, clear and legible, not exceeding page boundaries. Figures should be numbered sequentially, starting from 1. Figure numbers and names should be centered below the figure, in bold 12-point font, and with only the first letter capitalized. The figure title should be 12 points, and only the first letter of the title should be capitalized. When placing figures in the text, a reference must be provided in the text before the figure.
4. Conclusion (13 pt)
Concluding remarks regarding the study should be included, also mentioning future research directions on the topic.
