Graduate Student’s Thesis Writing Standards

Graduate student’s thesis, a comprehensive summary of scientific study of postgraduate students and an important academic document to show their research quality and achievements, is fundamental to applying for and granting corresponding degree. Thesis writing is one of the basic training for graduate students, so it is a must to put it into real practice. Supervisors are supposed to enhance their guidance so as to ensure the quality.

Thesis writing should accord with related standards set by national and related departments. Doctors’ thesis and Masters’ thesis have the same standards in writing except word limit, depth of theoretical study, creative achievements, etc.

1 Requirements for the Contents

1.1 TitleThe title should be concise and accurate in reflecting the key and specific information of the thesis

with no more than 25 words. Habitually, most words used in the title are nouns. Uncommonly used abbreviations, acronyms,

characters, codes and equations, etc. should be avoided. In case that the title has multiple layers in contents and that it is hard to simplify, it is recommended to use subtitles for supplement and clarification of the title. However, when the title and subtitle appear simultaneously in different places of the thesis, they should be kept all the same.

1.2 Southwest Jiaotong University Thesis Copyright Use Authorization After a careful check on the authorization, sign the name. Refer to Appendix 3 for the standard

Major contents of the Abstract should be equivalent to the dissertation so that readers can decide whether it is of necessity to read through the whole dissertation and information in the Abstract can be adopted as secondary document. The Abstract is supposed to specify the objectives, methods, results and conclusions of the research work with a focal point at results and conclusions.

1.4.2 Key WordsKey Words are theme entry for retrieval use, so it is better to use common technical terms (Refer

to corresponding technical term standards) that can cover the major points of the whole thesis. The key words usually have 3-8 words that are arranged in a newline at the bottom of the Abstract with conspicuous characters. The Key Words should be semantic with clear source from the paper and stand in line with paper characteristics. It is recommended that standard terms provided by Chinese Thesaurus.

For the convenience of international exchange, English counterparts for the Chinese key words are necessary.

1.5 ContentsIt refers to a collection of all titles in the paper, including serial number, titles and their starting page of Introduction, Chapters or brief summary (conclusion or discussion), bibliography, annotation, indexes, etc.

1.6 The BodyThe body includes Introduction, the Main Body, Conclusion and Annotation. The body begins at the right page after the contents page.

1.6.1 IntroductionThe Introduction, usually placed in the first chapter, includes academic background and theoretical &

practical significance, home and abroad literature review, source of the study and its main contents, goals, procedures and methods, etc. 1.6.2 Main Body

The main body, as the main parts of the thesis, has no uniform rules due to difference in subjects, choice of topics, research methods, expression of results, but it should be based on facts and give readers a clear, logical and complete organization in a concise and coherent way.

The main body usually has the following parts: Whole scheme design and elected demonstration; Design calculation of each part (software and hardware); Feasibility, validity of test program design and test data handling and analysis;

Theoretical analysis: Conduct a comprehensive and objective theory elaboration on research contents and results with a key stress on innovative and practical points of the study. In theoretical analysis, write separately and give reference to others’ research achievement, and show a clear distinction between yours and others. Those who quote theory and achievement in other field into the present study, should give the source of the theory and discuss its feasibility and validity.

Theses in management and humanity are supposed to include discussion and systematic analysis of the researched problem, comparative study, pattern layout or schematic design, case reasoning, interpretation of result or suggestions of the model operation, improvement measures, etc.

Theses in natural science should be correct in reasoning, clear in conclusion and no scientific errors. The annotation refers to text used for further explanation of characters, words or phrases in the

thesis. It is generally arranged either at page footer (footnotes), or after the thesis (endnotes), or among lines in the thesis itself. It is recommendable if the author can control the quantity of annotation. 1.6.3 Conclusion The conclusion for academic thesis should be arranged as a separate chapter, but in no need of serial number.

The Conclusion is a summary of the major achievements in the paper, so in this part, the author should put explicitly the creative achievement or innovative points (new theory, novel ideas and views) as focal point, forecast and estimate their application prospect and social, economic value, and point out the outlook and imagination of the research work in this direction. For this part, the words are usually within 2,000.

For doctoral thesis, it is a must to point out the innovative points of the study and where they are shown in the paper.

1.7 AcknowledgementShow thanks to the supervisor and organizations and individuals who have given help or guidance in

the completion of the thesis in a concise and practical way. Special thanks should also be given to the project sponsor.

1.8 BibliographyThe Bibliography includes literature data referred to and cited during thesis writing period. In

principle, the literature referred to by doctoral candidates should be no less than 100 articles and by master candidates 50 articles. For all postgraduates, the foreign bibliography should be no less than 1/3 of the total bibliography. 1.9 Papers Published During the Degree Period At the end of the thesis, all academic papers related to the degree published during the degree period should be listed. Refer to the requirement of papers for doctoral candidates in Southwest Jiaotong University for SWJTU Provisions of Papers Published during the Degree Period for Doctoral Candidates; and for master candidates, at least one paper should be published during the degree period.

2 Writing Standards2.1 Word Number

The type area is sized to be 160mm×250mm excluding header and footer. The doctoral thesis is required to be printed on both sides with the odd number on the right hand of the header and the even number on the left hand of the header. The master thesis is required to be printed single-sided with the page number on the right hand of the header. For each page, it is about 38 words ×34 lines printing characters (excluding header and footer). The forepart of the main body like abstract, contents, names and symbols of physical quantity, should be arranged separately by use of roman numbers. For the main body part and the parts after it, the pages should be Arabic numbers. All the pages should be sized to be A4.

2.3 Abstract The words for the abstract (by words) of a master thesis should be more than 500, and of doctoral thesis 1,000-2,000. There is no need to write the thesis title on the abstract page. The English abstract and the Chinese one should have the same information with no mistakes in grammar and diction. In layout, the Chinese abstract is arranged before the English one.

2.4 ContentsThe contents should include titles of all chapters and their pages. See as follows: Titles of the main body (It is required to have titles of the third level, namely, □.□.□)AcknowledgementsBibliographyAppendixPapers published during the □ degree period (□should be either master or doctor)Index (optional)

2.5 The Main Body2.5.1 Chapters and Titles of Chapters The main body should be subdivided into chapters with each new chapter a new page. Titles of each chapter should be emphatic and concise. 2.5.2 Layers There is no need to have too many layers and they are decided by actual needs. The layer codes are recommended to use the format in Table 1 of 3.7. The layers should be unified, but if no items for chapters, list the points. The arrangement of layers should be dependent on actual needs.

2.6 Work CitedThe labeling of works cited should be done in accordance with GB/T7714-2005 by use of either

sequential encoding or first element and date method, but make sure that it is unified through the whole thesis.

Example 1: Sequential encoding of citing single document German scholars N. Cross studies the tertiary fracture’s control over tertiary system near Basel,

Swiss [235]

Example 2: Sequential encoding of citing multiple documentsMollard’s study of the joint format of the stable region [255 256]

Example 3: First element and date method with the author’s name and publication year

The substructure method originated from solution to finite element analysis of large, complex structure like airplane (Przcmicnicki, 1968).

Example 4: First element and date method with publication yearBrodaway et. al (1986) reported that the adding of protease into artificial food can inhibite the

growth and development of a range of insects. It is prohibited to put works cited at the titles of different layser.

2.7 Terminology Terms of science and technology and names of equipments and components is supposed to use

terminology or names specified in national or ministerial standards. Those terms that have not specified in the standards are suggested to use the general terms or names. Some special terms or new expressions should be given explanation or annotation in proper place.

English abbreviations should be given the full words in brackets when they appear in the thesis for the first time except widely used common abbreviations in the industry.

2.8 Names and symbols of the physical quantity and unit of measurement2.8.1 Names and symbols of the physical quantity Names and symbols of the physical quantity should meet the requirement of GB3100～3102 and be unified through the whole thesis.

Symbols of the physical quantity should be italicized. Subscripts for physical quantity symbols should be italicized too. 2.8.2 Timing Unit of Physical Quantity

Timing unit and symbols of physical quantity should be applied in accordance with criteria for quotations and references listed in 2.18. It is a must to use lowercases for units of measurement except that units named after people should be capitalized. Units of non-physical quantity (such as piece, person, times, set, element, …) are supposed to use the method of mixing the character and unit line number, for example, “10,000 t·km”，“t/(Person ·a)” . In manuscript narration, Chinese symbols can be used for units of measurement after indefinite numbers, e.g. “Several kg to 1000kg” Chinese units of measurement can be used for time expression, e.g. “8:45 am” can not be written as “8h 45min”. Standardized form should be chosen for symbols of units of measurement. 2.9 Roman and Italics for English Letters It is ruled in GB3100～3102 that symbols of physical quantity, physical constant and variable symbols are set in italics and units of measurement is set in Roman. 2.10 Numbers

According to Trial Regulations about Numeral Use on Publications by State Language Work Committee and other 6 organizations in 1987, except for some habitual use of Chinese numbers, all others should be Arabic.

2.11 FormulaIn principle, the formula should be written in the middle. If there are words before formula (such as

“solution” “suppose”), the words are written with two blank spaces left and the formula is still put in the

middle. No punctuations are needed at the end of the formula. The serial number of formula is arranged by chapters, e.g. the first serial number in Chapter 1 “（1-1）”, the first serial number in Appendix A “（A-1）”

In quotation of formula, it is suggested to use “Refer to the formula （ 1-1 ） ” or “from the formula（1-1）”.

In use of slash to express “division” in a formula, brackets should be used for avoidance of ambiguity, e.g. 1/(bcosx). It is a general rule that the relation of “multiplication” is set first, e.g. acosx/b rather than (a/b)cosx

The offside symbols of the formula serial number are arranged at the very right side of the right side line.

For a long formula, it is suggested to conduct line feeds at “=”. If it is really hard to do so, conduct line feeds at “+、-、×、÷”. In line feeds, operative symbols should be written only before the formula with no need to rewrite it.

It is a must to give notes to the physical quantity that appears for the first time in the formula. The noted line feeds should align with the first character after the dash“—”. Refer to the following for the format: In formula Mf—Maximum torque before the sample’s fracture（N·m）；

Two characters occupied

—Relative torsion Angle in per unit length when the sample fractures

Torsion Angle ，（rad/mm）In the formula, pay attention to the length of borderlines (show a clear-cut distinction between the

main line and the vice line) and make sure that the long borderlines should align with the equal sign, for example:

If fraction appears in the main body, one line should be reduced in height. For example, write the fraction line into “/”, and change radical sign into negative index. 2.12 Inserted Table No left or right side line is necessary for the table. The table should be arranged by use of internationally-recognized three-line tables. The sequential number of the table is arranged via chapters, e.g. the first inserted table in chapter 1 is “Table 1-1”. Leave one blank line between the sequential number and its name. No punctuations are needed in the name of the table. The sequential number and its name is placed in the middle of the line above the table.

The table header should be concise and no slashes are recommended. Chemical signs or physical quantity symbols can be used in the header.

If the same unit is applied in the Table, the unit symbols should be moved to the right corner of the header with parenthesis.

Data in the Table should be correct in expression and clear in handwriting. Use “—” (two digits) for the place without numbers. If the characters or numbers are the same in the upper and down or the right

and left, banner approach is adopted and no “″” or “ditto” is allowed. The explanatory notes in the table are supposed to be left a blank space for the first line of a new

paragraph and no blank space for other lines in the paragraph. No punctuation is needed at the end of the sentence.

If a table needs arranging in a second page, serial number of the table should be repeated in the following page. The serial number is followed by table title (imissible) and “（continued）”and they are both placed above the table.

The table continued should repeat the table header. 2.13 Illustrations

The illustration should work in tight fit with characters. The technology contents are correct and the selected graphs should be concise. 2.13.1 Drafting Standard All illustrations should accord with national and related professional standards. Mechanical engineering drawings: First angle projection is adopted so as to go in strict accordance with Mechanical Drafting GB4457～4460，GB131-83. Electrical Diagram: graphic symbols, letter symbols, etc. should conform to related stipulations on standards. Flow chart: In principle, it is suggested to use structured program and the flow block diagram in a correct way.

Graphs without any specified standards are supposed to apply frequently-used techniques of painting for the industry.

2.13.2 Graph Caption and Description Each graph should have a caption (including figure number and title). The figure number is arranged by chapters, e.g. The figure number of the first graph in chapter 1 should be “Graph 1-1” etc. The caption, set below the graph, is written in the middle. Drawing statement or other description is set above the caption. The title is arranged one blank space after the figure number. The reference graphs should credit the original source with reference document no. on the right corner of the caption. If there is detail drawing for the graph, use a）, b）, etc. under the detail drawing. Chinese (except quoted foreign figure) or number should be used for description of each part in the graph. The explanatory notes should be placed above the caption (if there is detail drawing, they should be placed above the detail drawing.) 2.13.3 Illustration Arrangement The illustration and its caption work as a whole and cannot be taken apart into two pages. If the blank space in the page cannot be arranged to present the whole graph, it is suggested to arrange the description part first and move the graph to the very front of the next page. 2.13.4 Coordinate Units It is a must to indicate coordinate units if there are coordinate graphs marked with figures. 2.13.5 Photographs and Illustrations in the Original Thesis Photographs in the original thesis should be pasted with photos of original edition. No copy is allowed. The photos can be black-and- white or colorful and they should emphatic in meaning expression, distinct in gradation, appropriate in contrast. Glossy paper, rather than Matte Finish, is recommended for the picture. Magnification times have to be mentioned for Metallographic microstructure.

No copies can be allowed for illustrations in the original thesis. As to intricate reference graphs, it is suggested to use draft maps printed from the computer after inputting into it via digitalization instruments.

2.14 BibliographyThe bibliography should be put in line with GB/T 7714-2005. See as follows the rules for the item

generation and order of the commonly used bibliography: Books and Works
