SAMPLE OF ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
The following abstract is taken from Ramos, Juan, Florentina Davalos, and Jorge
Sandoval. High-brightness CMP from Eucalyptus globulus using a nitric acid
pretreatment. TAPPI Journal 79 (12 December 1996): 169-177. Copyright TAPPI
1996.
A high-brightness, high-yield chemin mechanical pulp was obtained from Eucalyptus
globulus using low-environmental-impact chemical reagents. The pulping chemicals
were nitric acid and sodium hydroxide, and bleaching chemical was hydrogen
peroxide. Chips were impregnated for 24 h in nitric acid, cooked under variable
conditions, washed, impregnated with soda for 24 h, cooked again, rewashed,
defibrated, refined, screened, and finally bleached under variable conditions. Under
the optimal pulping conditions identified in this study, pulp strength was not especially
high (tensile strength 2.04 km, tea strength 3.9 mN m2/g), but the ease of bleaching
and final pulp brightness were impressive enough (light-scattering coefficient 49.3
m2kg, brightness 81.3% Elrepho) to warrant further research.

(j) Chapter 2: Literature Review and/or Theory
(k) Chapter 3: Methodology/Project Work
(l) Chapter 4: Results and Discussion
(m) Chapter 5: Conclusion and Recommendation
(n) References

1.3 General Writing Format
Students must follow specific guidelines for writing all the reports as
indicated in Section 6.
(a) Language
The dissertation must be written in acceptable and formal
English. Use the passive voice.
(b) Font and Spacing
All text should be 1.5 spacing between lines and 3 spacing
between paragraphs (Times New Roman regular font-style,
size 12) typed on a white A4 paper. Interim report should be
in the form of double-sided printing. The hard-bound
printed copy of the dissertation should be in the form of
single sided printing.
The following however should be single spaced:
Tables and figures
Computer programs/source codes (must be reduced to font
size 8)
2
(c) Length
The maximum length of the report, excluding appendices is
as follows:
Interim Report 20 pages
Dissertation 50 pages
Students are encouraged to use brief and straightforward
wordings, use passive voice and avoid using jargon as much
as possible.
(d) Pagination
All pages must be numbered in proper sequence from
introduction to the end of the report including pages on
figures, tables, computer programs and appendices. All
front materials are numbered in small Roman numerals (e.g.
i, ii, iii). Page numbers appear by themselves and are not to
be enclosed in parenthesis, hyphens or other decorative
symbols. Page numbers must be positioned at the bottom
and must be centred. Please refer to Appendix 4-1.
(e) Margin
The top, bottom and right margins are 25 mm except the left
margin, which is 40 mm. Please refer to Appendix 4-1. All
paragraphs should start from the left margin.
(f) Mathematical Equations
Mathematical equations must be spaced out; superscript and
subscript must be clearly shown and numbered.
3
(g) Heading
The report should not have more than three levels of
numbered headings as follows:
1. FIRST-LEVEL HEAD
1.1 Second-Level Head
1.1.1 Third-Level Head
All headings should be in Times New Roman and bold.
Chapter and major headings should be in capitals and in 14
font size and 12 font size, respectively. Secondary and
tertiary headings should be in title case and in 12 font size.
(h) Tables and Figures
Tables and figures are considered part of the report if it is
within the main text. If it is of the size that is less than a
page, it should be inserted into the text near the point of
reference with a 3 spacing from the text. Tables should be
on the same page. Margin limits of figures and tables should
be the same as the full-page text. All tables and figures
should be numbered consecutively. Table heading should be
positioned at the top and centred. The numbers for figure
should be positioned at the bottom and centred. Please refer
to Appendix 4.2. Refer to each table or figure clearly in the
text before placing it on the page. (For example, “Figure 1
shows ….)
(i) Documenting Sources
Students are required to cite the sources from which ideas
were taken. Please refer to Appendix 5-1. The
4
documentation system to be used is the American
Psychological Association (APA) or International
Electrical Electronic Engineering (IEEE) format.
(j) References
The method of writing references must follow the standard
format. The sample reference format is in Appendix 5-2.
This sample is using the APA and IEEE format.
(k) Title Page
The title page of the interim report and dissertation should
be set out in accordance with the attached sample sheet in
Appendix 6-1 and should include the following:
The title of the reports/ dissertation.
The name of the candidate in FULL.
