-
The title must remain neutral (no bias on any side) such as
avoid mentioning specific platforms like Lazada or

The first research question should focus on something basic
such as "general user experiences" rather than something
specific like “what is the challenge”.

Specific Feedback
- The abstract should be between 200–250 words.

In the research objectives, replace “Navigation” with
“Information Architecture.”

Avoid overusing connectors such as “However,” “Not only that,”
and “Additionally.”
-
