ABSTRACT

This is a sample Word document that can be used as a template in formatting your

multipart or manuscript thesis/dissertation. This abstract should cover all parts of your

multi-part thesis or dissertation. This abstract must be 350 words or fewer. If you are

using special characters, you’ll want to spell them out between square brackets after each

time you use them (this is in the abstract only. It’s not necessary elsewhere in the

document, although use of special characters in the title is prohibited.)

For our purposes a special character is any character which cannot be found on

your typical English language keyboard. Because of how your abstract is used in the

cataloging process, you will want to tell people how to interpret your special character in

case the character itself gets garbled. So, if I wanted to use the µ [micro] character in my

abstract, I would have to tell people how to interpret it. Since you’re the expert, you

decide how to best interpret that character. It could be µ [micro] or µ [mu], whichever

would make the most sense if the symbol itself cannot be replicated

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION

(Beyond the title, this page should be blank. The rest of the chapter should begin on the

next page.)

1

HEADING 2

This is the introduction to the entire paper. It can be chapter one, or just a stand-

alone introduction chapter. In any case, it isn’t just an introduction to part 1.

You may use single, double, or 1.5 spacing. You may use any font of your choosing, but

you must be consistent, and the font must be embedded or at least subset in the document.

This will happen automatically if you use Adobe Acrobat

2

HEADING 2

Use subheadings consistently. Check spacing, capitalization, and

punctuation.

Heading 3

Use of styles is helpful in generating a table of contents. This sample document

uses the headings to automatically generate the table of contents, list of tables, and list of

figures.

Heading 3

Once you use styles to generate the lists, you can update them quickly and easily.

Use of styles is helpful in generating a table of contents. This sample document uses the

headings to automatically generate the table of contents, list of tables, and list of figures.

This document is set up to follow APA as well as UTK Guidelines. If you want to change

formatting for the headings, you can highlight heading or other text you wish to change,

then either change the font and then find whatever style you wish to change in the Styles

window. Right click on that style and choose “Update [Style] to match selection.”

Alternatively, you can choose “Modify” to change the style without choosing text.

HEADING 2

Don’t forget to have your thesis/dissertation reviewed by the thesis/dissertation

consultant before the preliminary review deadline. If you wait until the deadline to

schedule an appointment, it is likely that you will not be able to get an appointment.

CHAPTER II:

THE FIRST ARTICLE

7

HEADING 2

Tables and figures embedded within the text should be placed on either the same

page as the first mention in the text, or on the page following the first mention of the text.

Large tables and figures should be placed on a separate page. For instance, Table 1 is

larger than ½ a page and therefore is placed on its own page. The page before the

table/figure should be a full page of text, unless it happens to occur at the end of the

chapter. This applies even if a paragraph must be broken across pages.

Tables and figures may be placed on dedicated pages even if they are small. You

should try to avoid leaving large blocks of white space on text pages, but you can leave

white space on pages that just have tables or figures.

Heading 3

Tables and figures may also be placed in an appendix at the end of the

thesis/dissertation. If you do this, be sure to note that the tables/figures are located in the

appendix. This can be done either parenthetically or with footnotes. You may place all

tables and figures in an appendix, or just a few. For instance, Table 2 is in the appendix

for this chapyer If you choose to place all tables and figures in the appendix, you can note

8

that “All tables and figures are located in the appendix” after the first mention of a table

or figure.”

Heading 3

Table titles should be placed above the tables. Figure titles should be placed

below. The font for tables must match the font for the body of the text. All tables must

have at least 2 columns and a heading row. Tables must also have at least 3 grid lines.

These lines include the line above the table, the line below the heading row, and the line

below the table.

Heading 3

The font for figures can differ from the font for the body of the text. The font for

the figure number and title must match the font for the body of the text. You may use

color figures or black and white. If you use color, make sure the figure makes sense when

it is printed in black and white.

Don’t forget to refer to all tables/figures by number within the text. Once you

have mentioned a table/figure, you must place it on the next page. For instance, if you

HEADING 2

Each part may be treated as a separate unit, with its own chapters, bibliography or

appendix, or the bibliography and appendix may both be at the end of the end of the

document. It is acceptable to have bibliographies at the end of each chapter and then have

the appendix at the end of the paper, or vice versa.

The student must exercise caution to ensure that formatting is consistent

throughout the document All tables and figures should have unique numbers The

organization into parts should be logically arranged and consistently applied.
