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.

 Background
 Problem Statement
 Objectives and Scope of Study
(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
(o) Appendices

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.
 The degree for which he/she is submitting the
reports/ dissertation.
