English version and followed by Bahasa Malaysia version.
The introduction should describe general information on the subject matter area of study. It is
usually arranged in such a manner to gradually bring to focus the specific motivations of the current
study, the research background, the problem statements, the research questions/research problems, the
hypotheses, the scope of study, as well as the significance of study. Factual statements should be
accompanied by a citation of references. Authors should ensure that every reference in the text appears
in the list of references (at the end of the paper) and vice versa.
 References should follow the latest version of UTHM Thesis Writing Guide (APA formatting). The
references list should be left-alignment, hanging (0.63 cm), and the text is Times New Roman with font
size 10, no spacing (before and after) with single line spacing.
1.1 Research Background
Section headings should be left-justified, bold, with the first letter capitalized and numbered
consecutively, starting with the Introduction. The introduction can be split into several subheadings if
the author finds the need to organize the information into several subtopics. Sub-section headings
should also be in the same style as the headings, numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc, and left-justified, but unbolded.
All headings should have a minimum of three text lines after them before a page or column break.
1.2 Problem Statements
Subheadings in the introduction are usually limited to 2-3 topics. Contents should be brief; more
detailed information should be discussed in the methodology section. The subheadings should not go
beyond the second level.
1.3 Research Questions
This section should include research questions of the study.
(i) Research Questions 1
(ii) Research Questions 2
(iii) Research Questions 3
1.4 Research Objectives
This section should include research objectives of the study.
(i) Objective 1
(ii) Objective 2
(iii) Objective 3
1.5 Scope of the Study
This section should include scope of study.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This section should include significance of study.

2. Literature Review
The literature review section describes all relevant literature related to the research and critically
discussed. This section can be structured based on the stated objectives and focus of the study or any
logical order as deemed appropriate.

2.1 Headings
Section headings should be left-alignment, bold, with the first letter capitalized and numbered
consecutively, starting with the Introduction. The introduction can be split into several subheadings if
the author finds the need to organize the information into several subtopics. Sub-section headings

be brief; more detailed information should be discussed in the methodology section. The subheadings
should not go beyond the second level.
(a) Sub-subheadings
Sub-subheadings numbered as (a), (b), etc (instead of 1.1.1, 1.1.2 etc). Contents should be brief;
more detailed information should be discussed in the methodology section. The sub-subheadings should
not go beyond the third level.

3. Research Methodology
The research methodology section describes all the necessary information that is required to obtain
the results of the study. The research methodology consists of detailed information regarding workflow,
strategy, and approach. The methodology adopted in carrying out the study should be well explained.
3.1 Research Design
Specific research designs such as description of research methodology selection, research
population, research sampling, research instrument, and research flow process need to be explained
clearly.
3.2 Data Collection
Specific data collection procedures/methods require to be described clearly.
3.3 Data Analysis
Specific data analysis procedures/methods require to be described clearly.

4. Expected Outcome
The part discuss about expected outcome.

5. Conclusion
The conclusion should summarize the main findings of the study, and restate the key points inferred
from trends observed and discussed regarding the data. Some suggestions should be included to
encourage the continuation of the current research.
