All should realize that it is not so difficult to publish a conceptual article. Shouldn't there be data included? No respondents? It's alright. Your article can still be written and published even in high index journals.

First, do we know how to write conceptual papers? It's all about creating new awareness. We must, therefore, choose the sources of information before we can generate new knowledge. The argument is, obviously, not taken from the data but from the collection of proof of previously established ideas and hypotheses, as we write theoretical papers, too.
Two primary methods are a focus phenomenon and a focus theory to explain how and why ideas and hypotheses are selected.
Focal phenomenon:- we must first define the various concepts of the phenomenon and then argue for the dimension of concern better discussed particular concepts or theories.
Focal theory:- we argue that in some respects, the current idea or theory is not enough or incomplete, and we then present new approaches to resolve the shortcomings. Such shortcomings in previous work have to be addressed.

We will clarify how and why the principles and hypotheses have been chosen for writing conceptual articles. All right, let's move on to principles and hypotheses claims now. How can we argue about this? The arguments -> reasons -> warrants are CGW.
Claims are the assertion that the reader must be acknowledged as valid. That is the product of the study, in other words. The reasons for supporting the argument and persuading the reader are the ground, and the underlying premises that relate the reasons to the claims are warrants.

You can follow four approaches: theory synthesis, theory adaptation, typology and model.
1. Theory Synthesis
In this method, the published paper incorporates several theories or literature sources. Researchers linked the unconnected and incompatible pieces by providing a new or enhanced view of concept or phenomenon. They contribute by summarizing and incorporating the current concept of the idea or phenomenon. They may also investigate the conceptual underpinnings of an emerging theory or clarify the contradictory study results.

2. Theory Adaptation
This method enables us to revise the scope or perspective of an existing theory by informing it of other theories or perspectives. The conceptual scope may also be changed or extended by switching the level of analysis. Another way is to define new dimensions of an established construct by introducing a new theoretical lens.

3. Typology
A typology paper identifies the critical dimensions of a concept to address contradictory findings from previous studies. We may also demonstrate how variants of an entity differ and establish dynamic networks of concepts and relationships to explain a phenomenon.

4. Model
A model paper explains and predicts relationships between concepts. This paper constructs a theoretical framework that predicts relationships between constructs. First, we define the interactions between constructs, then add new constructs and/or relationships between constructs. Finally, we explain why a series of events occur.

These are the four vital methodological requirements to publish a conceptual paper. Break a leg! I know we can do it!
