Example of novelty statement or the gap analysis statement in the end of Introduction section (after state of the art of previous research survey): “........ (short summary of background)....... A few researchers focused on ....... There have been limited studies concerned on ........ Therefore, this research intends to ................. The objectives of this research are .........”.

Or are there any differences?

The conclusions should not contain only the repetition of the results and discussions. It should be the summary of the research results as the author expects in the research purposes or the hypothesis. The advices contain suggestions associated with further ideas from the research.
    5. References. The main references are reputable national and international journals and proceedings. All references must be to the most relevant and current sources and the minimum reference is 15 entries (for original research papers) and 50 entries (for review/survey papers).
