I’m reaching out for your help with proofreading my research paper translated from Arabic to English, aiming for journal publication. Could you also ensure the titles are well-arranged and the references are in APA format, based on our previous work?
I’ve attached the document for your review and would appreciate any necessary edits.
Thank you for your assistance.
Here are the general rules:
1. Publishing is exclusive to following types of research:
A. Field Research (Applied Research ) : The researcher should include an introduction
indicating the subject of the research and the need for it, identify the research method, and the
method of data analysis, present and discuss the conclusions and recommendations, and finally
the bibliography.

method of data analysis, present and discuss the conclusions and recommendations, and finally
the bibliography.
B. Quality Research (Analytical Research ) : The researcher provides an introduction
reviewing the research problem and questions. The introduction should reveal the importance of
the research and its value to science and knowledge. The body of the research paper is divided
into successive and related parts with some degree of independence. Each part shows a certain
topic within the context of the whole subject. Such topic should have relation to the previous one
and prepare the reader for the next. The research is concluded with a comprehensive summary
and guidelines. The bibliography comes at the end.
