Guidelines may vary across journals, institutions, or publishers. Authors should be mindful of specific formatting requirements for each type of work.
Use clear and consistent headings for efficiently structuring your article.
Employ hierarchical headings (e.g., main headings, subheadings) to create a logical structure.
Ensure headings are formatted consistently in an appropriate font size, style, and alignment.
Select a legible font that enhances readability, such as Times New Roman or Arial.
Preserve a uniform font size throughout the article (e.g., 12-point font for the main text).
Use bold or italics sparingly and purposefully to attract the reader to the main points.
Choose double or 1.5 line spacing to enhance readability and allow quicker review and feedback.
Consider using appropriate line spacing for block quotes, captions, and footnotes.
Follow the specified citation style (e.g., APA, MLA) consistently throughout the article.
Include accurate in-text citations for all referenced sources.
At the end of the article, include a comprehensive reference list or bibliography, following the prescribed citation style.
Utilize figures (charts, graphs, diagrams) and tables to present data and enhance understanding.
Ensure figures and tables have labels with clear titles and captions.
Refer to figures and tables within the text, providing explanations or interpretations when necessary.
Create a title page that has the thesis title, author name, institution, department, and submission date.
Format the title page according to the specific guidelines provided by your institution.
Write a table of contents that lists the chapters, sections, subsections, and corresponding page numbers.
Format the table of contents using appropriate indentation and formatting styles.
Number the pages consistently throughout the thesis, including preliminary pages (e.g., abstract, acknowledgments) and the main content.
Differentiate between Roman numerals (for preliminary pages) and Arabic numerals (for main content).
Follow the prescribed citation style consistently throughout the thesis. Include accurate in-text citations for all referenced sources.
Create a comprehensive bibliography or reference list at the end of the thesis, adhering to the specified citation style.
Add relevant supplementary materials to the appendices, such as surveys, questionnaires, or raw data.
Clearly label and organize the appendices, referring to them appropriately within the main text.
Create visually appealing and descriptive chapter titles that capture the essence of each chapter.
Consider using appropriate font styles, size to differentiate chapter titles from the main text.
Ensure consistent indentation, alignment, and line spacing throughout the book.
Use appropriate paragraph breaks to create visual breaks and enhance readability.
Include headers or footers that display chapter titles, book titles, and page numbers.
Format headers and footers consistently across all pages.
Set appropriate margins for the text, allowing for comfortable reading while maintaining a visually appealing layout. Ensure consistent margin sizes throughout the book.
Choose appropriate fonts, sizes, and styles for headings, subheadings, and body text.
