Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Context
Established more than fifty years ago, the Faculty of Humanities and
Social Sciences at Tribhuvan University is not just the oldest Faculty but
the largest academic body to conduct graduate programs in the country.
The Faculty offers Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree in sixteen
different disciplines including Nepali, English, Economics, History,
Nepalese History, Culture and Archaeology, Psychology, Geography,
Population Studies, Sociology and Anthropology, Linguistics, Political
Science, Home Science, Hindi, Nepal Bhasa, and Rural Development. The
Faculty has been conducting Ph.D. Programs since it offered its first Ph.D.
Degree in Nepali in 1974. Since six Central Departments at the University
Campus including Nepali, English, Economics, Anthropology, Sociology
and Anthropology, and Population Studies started teaching Master of
Philosophy (M. Phil.) Degree half a decade ago, M. Phil. Degree is
compulsory for the enrolment in Ph.D. Program in these subjects.
However, in the remaining ten subjects, Ph.D. enrolment can be made
without M. Phil. Degree.

1.2 Requirements and Processes for Ph.D.

The Dean's Office, in conjunction with the Central Departments at the
University Campus, offers the Ph.D. Degree in sixteen subjects. The
Dean's Office has a provision of constituting a Research Committee
comprising research experts from different Departments. The Committee
is responsible for making policies and conducting research processes
TUFHOSS

related to Ph.D. Each of the Ph.D. candidates has to fulfill the

requirements set by the Research Committee. The requirements are as
follows:

1. Ph.D. candidates have to submit three research articles and a

research proposal for evaluation in order to enroll in the Program.
Candidates with M.Phil. Degree have to submit only the research
proposal. The format of the proposal can be obtained from the
Dean's Office.

2. Successful candidates (those candidates whose articles and

proposals are accepted by the experts in their respective
disciplines) have to mandatorily participate in the Research
Methodology Workshop /Seminar conducted by the Dean's Office.
Candidates with M.Phil. Degree are exempted from this
requirement.

3. Ph.D. candidates have to face a viva voce in their respective

Departments for the final approval of the research proposal.

4. The final decision of the selection of Supervisor and Expert (from

the list submitted by the candidate) is made by the Research
Committee.

5. Ph.D. candidates have to submit the Review of Literature and a

Seminar Paper to their Departments and face the viva voce there.
They are allowed to get permanent registration on the condition
that the Review of Literature and Seminar Paper are approved by
TUFHOSS

10

the respective Departments.

6. Ph.D. candidates have to submit progress reports annually with the
recommendation of their supervisors.

7. The final copy (loosely bound) of the dissertation should be

submitted to the Dean's Office for internal evaluation. The
candidate has to make required modifications, corrections, and
changes recommended by the internal evaluator. The Research
Division of the Dean's Office makes confirmation whether the
candidate has made necessary corrections suggested by the internal
evaluator.

8. Four (spiral bound) copies of the dissertation should be submitted

to the Dean's Office for final examination by the external
examiner. If the external examiners find that the dissertation is
worthy of acceptance and has fulfilled all the requirements of the
Ph.D. research, the candidate is required to face the final viva voce
to defend her/his research work. The Ph.D. Degree is awarded after
the viva voce is satisfactorily over.

9. Finally, candidates have to submit six copies (hard bound) of the

final version of the dissertation incorporating all the modifications,
omissions, additions, corrections suggested by the experts in the
viva voce.

1.3 The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Doctor of Philosophy is not just a degree but a dynamic process consisting
of a range of activities and skills. It is, as stated by Lovitts, an independent
TUFHOSS

11

academic work resulting in original contribution to knowledge producing

a publishable work (2007, pp. 4-5). A Ph.D. project, as she further puts,
identifies a new way of thinking, identifies a niche in the existing
literature, synthesizes different perspectives, analyzes the single entity,
identifies new sources and contexts, applies new approaches to old ideas
and new ideas to old approaches, changes the way people think, and
finally opens up new fields (pp. 222, 274).

1.4 Purpose and Delimitation

The purpose of this manual is to provide guidelines for the elements which
are found in all dissertations so that researchers can maintain consistency
and uniformity in writing Ph.D. dissertations. The emphasis, therefore, is
put upon the overall organization and format of the dissertation. Ph.D.
candidates are required to follow this Manual in arranging the basic
components, in selecting specific writing style and mechanics such as
spelling, indentation, paper type and size, type and point of the font,
design of the cases, and placement of various elements on the pages. It
also provides guidelines for what elements are included in a given part of
the dissertation and in what order they should be arranged. The manual
makes an attempt, to a limited extent, to address the problem of
inconsistency in writing a Ph.D. dissertation. As per the academic tradition
observed in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Tribhuvan
University, two approaches to documentation or styles (American
Psychological Association and Modern language Association) are
followed. The manual consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 works as a
blueprint to the entire manual. Chapter 2 lists various components of a
proposal and states how they are arranged. Chapter 3 states how various
components of a dissertation are arranged. Chapter 4 describes some of the
TUFHOSS

12

features of the language of research. Chapter 5 elaborates mechanics and

style employed in the research. Chapter 6 illustrates how sources should
be documented in a dissertation. Chapter 6 is followed by an Appendix
section which shows several samples of a dissertation. The Appendix
section is, in turn, followed by a separate section in Nepali that offers
research format and style for those researchers who opt for Nepali
language.

In all Ph.D. dissertations there are fundamentally two types of elements:

common elements and discipline specific elements. The common elements
are language, mechanics, and documentation. The discipline specific
elements include the basic components of the body of the text. The
selection and arrangement of the core elements depends mainly upon the
protocols and expectations of the given discipline, nature of the subject,
type of research, research questions, objectives and method of data
selection, collection and analysis. Therefore, the discipline specific
elements are dictated by the "regimes" of a given discipline.

1.5 Research Paradigms

Ph. D. research is so complex a process that it seems to be futile to reduce
its complex dynamics into stable categories. Following Martyn
Hammersely (2012), at the cost of oversimplification, four basic types of
research orientations can be categorized: "positivist/postpositivist,"
"interpretive/hermeneutic," "critical," and "constructionist." Positivist
method (as described by William (2006, p. 231) is one of the research
methods which is scientific, explanatory, predictive, evidence-based,
objective, logical and numerative /quantitative, value-free, operationist
(can only research those things which are measurable) and verificatory.
Interpretive /hermeneutic research method, as Hammersely (2012) puts,
TUFHOSS

13

stresses the role of inner life experience, culture and/or imagination on the
part of the interpreter. So, it studies the phenomena of human behavior. Its
task is to understand how people see, think, and feel about the world,
seeking to grasp diverse perspectives in their own terms. Critical research,
as Hammeresley (2012) further adds, sees social science as playing a key
oppositional role in political terms, for example as being able to capture
the real social forces involved, whereas commonsense views are regarded
as frequently distorted by ideology, by misconceptions that are socially
generated so as to disguise injustice and its causes. It is different from
other research methods as it takes explicit political position, it is
interventionist, and works with some emancipatory agenda and social
transformation. Constructionism, as posited by Hepburn (2006), is an
orientation to research that considers facts, descriptions and other features
of "objective reality" to be inescapably contingent and rhetorical (p. 38).
In this view people are seen as produced (constructed) through social
interaction rather than through genetic programming and biological
maturation.

Barbara E. Lovitts (2007) characterizes disciplines along a number of

dimensions including "hard/soft, pure/applied, and
paradigmatic/nonparadigmatic" (p. 60). The sciences like physics, as
classified by Lovitts (2007, p. 60), are positioned at one end of the
continuum, humanities like literature at the other end. The social sciences
like sociology lie somewhere in the middle. Biology, physics, mathematics
are hard and pure sciences, and engineering and medical sciences are hard
and applied. Economics, sociology, English, history are soft and pure.
Law, education, and social work, rural development are soft and applied.
Pure sciences are concerned with theoretical knowledge, whereas applied
TUFHOSS

14

sciences with practical knowledge. Applied disciplines are more amenable

to trial and error approaches than pure ones. The hard applied disciplines
focus on mastering the physical world.

In their Research methods in social sciences, Somekh and Lewin bring

several scholars to discuss research methods used in social sciences. The
common research methods discussed in that anthology include case study,
research for impact, postmodern research, critical race theory, feminist
research, research through observation, deconstruction, experimentation,
empiricism, positivism, activity theory, social semiotics, semiotics, life
history, narrative research, research diaries, ethnography, participatory
research, interview, grounded theory, ethical responsibility, queer, lesbian
and gay approaches, policy research, discourse analysis, hermeneutic,
naturalistic inquiry, qualitative and quantitative methods, comparative, and
phenomenological.

In addition to the typologies of common research methods listed above,

there can be thousands of types of research methods depending on the
disciplinary expectations, their protocols and regimes.

Chapter 2: Research Proposal

2.1 Developing a Research Proposal

The research proposal is a scheme, plan, structure and strategy of the
whole research to be carried out. This is a written presentation of an
intended research specifying the problem, the purpose, scope/objectives,
methodology, references and the financial plan/budget. The research
proposal, as D. Madsen puts, is "often the key element to the successful
thesis and, as such, the most important step in the whole process" (1992, p.
51). The arrangement of the components of the research proposal is given
below.

1. Title
2. Introduction /Context
3. Statement of the Problem
4. Objectives
5. Research Questions
6. Hypothesis (if any)
7. Delimitation
8. Conceptual Framework /Theoretical Background
9. Review of Literature
10. Research methodology
11. Organization of the Study
12. Appendixes
13. Working Bibliography with Annotation
14. References (in American Psychological Association), or Works
Cited (in Modern Language Association)
TUFHOSS

16

2.1.1 Title
The title should be descriptive and comprehensive, but unambiguous. It
should be a concise statement of the main topic and should identify the
main variables and /or issues under investigation. In the case of two-part
titles, a title and a subtitle separated by a colon, should be used to
represent a concise statement of the proposal.

2.1.2 Introduction/ Context

The researcher should locate the topic in its proper context. The
introduction should establish a territory to set the stage. It should show
how and why the proposed project is worth researching.

2.1.3 Statement of the Problem

The research problem is the crucial element in the research project. It
identifies the research direction and destination. It is like the foundation of
a building. It is problematic in the existing scene and the researcher
attempts to identify it. The research problem is the "unknown" territory of
knowledge which the researcher attempts to make "known." It is also a
"gap" which the proposed project attempts to plug. Any problem can be a
research problem that adds new knoweldge to the world.

2.1.4 Research Questions

Research problems are generally stated in the form of questions so that
their answers are to be investigated. The research questions are based on
the research problems. The questions are very crucial elements of the
research as the entire investigation is shaped by them. However, all
questions are not necessarily research problems. Only those questions are
considered to be research problems that contribute to add some new
knowledge to the existing body of knowledge.
TUFHOSS

17

2.1.5 Hypothesis
The introduction should state the anticipated outcomes of the research in
the form of hypothesis. It is a set of presuppositions set forth for further
verification. It is a predictive statement capable of being tested by
verificatory processes.

2.1.6 Objectives
Objectives shape the overall destination and scope of the study. Objectives
help the researcher identify the key study variables and their possible
interrelationships. They inform the reader what the researcher wants to
achieve through this study. Usually, objectives are categorized as
main/general and specific. Main objective is the overall statement of the
thrust of the study based on the central research question. Specific
objectives are based on the specific aspects of the issue under research.

2.1.7 Delimitation
The proposal should define the boundary, limitations and scope of the
research. It should clearly state the compass of the research universe such
as the texts and data under analysis, the area of study, the variables under
scrutiny, and the sample size of the population under study.

2.1.8 Review of Literature

In a research proposal, the researcher should produce a literature review to
provide enough background information to previous research so that the
context of the proposed research is clear; that is, the literature review
should describe previous relevant research, and the results of that research,
in such a way as to indicate where the present proposal is "situated." The
literature review has to be critical and comprehensive. It helps the reader
understand the area under investigation. Literature reviews are not just
TUFHOSS

18

summaries of literature. Rather, they take a body of literature and

project /direct it in a particular direction. All disciplines need some kind of
review of literature. It may be presented in a separate chapter or can be
interwoven in the introductory chapter. The researcher should add her/his
own insight and evaluation. Finally, review of literature is a journey that
leads the researcher from "known" territory of knowledge to "unknown.”

2.1.9 Conceptual Framework

The term "conceptual framework" contains the researcher's
epistemological, ontological, and methodological premises that guide the
researcher's actions. The conceptual framework spells out the variables
that the researcher must take into account. It also functions to delimit the
boundaries of the discipline. Researchers have to give operational
definitions of the key terms so that there is no any ambiguity and
confusion.

2.1.10 Research Methodology

The methodology develops an explanation as to why and how the research
method(s) under discussion have been chosen. This section will probably
require a restatement of research aims/questions and involve explaining to
the reader how the chosen research method(s) will help answer the
research questions. Methods, on the other, refer to the actual instruments
and materials utilized in the research. Methodology guides the choice of
methods of selection, collection, and procedures analyzing the data under
scrutiny. The researcher needs to discuss why a particular method was
selected (and not others). The writer should refer to the literature on the
method(s) under review and justify their choice using the literature. This
section will require a detailed description of the research processes and
procedures as well as an explanation of the reasons for doing so.
TUFHOSS

TUFHOSS

20

2.1.11 Organization of the Study / Chapter Division

Normally, the following elements are proposed in order in a proposal:

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Literature Review
Chapter 3: Conceptual Framework and/or Methodology
Chapter 4: Results/ Analysis
Chapter 5: Discussion and Conclusions

2.1.12 Appendixes
An appendix should be used for materials that supplement the text but are
not appropriate for inclusion in the main text. Original data, detailed
descriptions of some resources, lengthy quotations, legal decisions or
laws, illustrative materials, questionnaires, verbatim comments, and
documents that are not readily available are documented in Appendixes.

2.1.13 Working Bibliography with Annotations

Annotated Bibliography includes publication information of each of the
entry plus two or three line explanation on the work.

2.1. 14 References /Works Cited

The last component of a proposal is the bibliographic list of materials
which have been consulted /cited in the text. The purpose of this
component is to authenticate the researcher, to guide the readers for
further consultation, to support one's claims, and to avoid plagiarism.
TUFHOSS

21

Chapter 3: Structure of the Dissertation

The magnitude and number of components of a research project

(dissertation) are always relative to type and nature of the discipline /field.
However, some components are often considered essential parts of all
dissertations. Normally, a dissertation consists of three types of matters:
the front matter, the body, and the back matter. The front matter or the
preliminaries are composed of the Title Page, Recommendation Page,
Approval Sheet, Acknowledgements, Abstract, Table of Contents, List of
Tables, List of Figures, List of Abbreviations, Acronyms, and /or
Symbols. Again, the arrangement and number of components in the body
also depends on the type and nature of the field /discipline. However, the
body of the dissertation in all disciplines consists mainly of three sections:
the introductory section, the central section and the concluding section.
The back matter consists of Appendix, Glossary (optional), End Notes,
and a list of References or Works Cited.

3.1 The Preliminaries /Front Matter

The arrangement of the materials in the preliminaries appears in the

following order:

i. Title Page
ii. Recommendation Page
iii. Approval Sheet
iv. Declaration
v. Acknowledgements
TUFHOSS

22

vi. Abstract
vii. Contents
viii. List of Tables
ix. List of Figures (if any)
x. List of Abbreviations, Acronyms and/or Symbols (if any)

3.1.1 Title Page

The first component of a dissertation is the title page. It gives the title of
the dissertation, author's /researcher's full name, and submission statement,
which includes the university, the institution, the degree sought, (or
granted); the month and year in which the degree is to/was to be granted
(see Appendix A for the sample). The title should be descriptive and
comprehensive, but unambiguous and concise. The title should be a
concise statement of the main topic and should identify the main variables
and/or issues under investigation. Two-part titles, a title and a subtitle
separated by a colon, should be used to represent a concise statement of
the dissertation. According to Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (2010), a title should not exceed 12 words and
the title should be typed in uppercase and lowercase letters, centered
between the left and right margins, and positioned in the upper half of the
page. Spelling out all words (without abbreviating) helps ensure accurate,
complete indexing of the article. However, MLA Handbook for Writers of
Research Papers (2009) recommends that the title should be written in
normal letters (neither bold not italicized) without quotation marks.

3.1.2 Recommendation Page

The Recommendation Letter provides spaces for the signatures of the
supervisor, experts, dissertation committee members and/or other
TUFHOSS

23

authorities (if required). The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences,

Dean's Office, Tribhuvan University, has a model for this page (see
Appendix B).

3.1.3 Declaration
Declaration is the claim made by the researcher in which s/he asserts that
this work of research has not been previously published nor was it used to
get any sort of award or degree, and whatever is cited/used has properly
been acknowledged (for a sample, see Appendix C).

3.1.4 Acknowledgements
The acknowledgements section contains expressions of appreciations for
guidance. The recognition of various persons' generosity with their time
and knowledge is a courtesy that is widely appreciated. The language of
acknowledgements should be simple, polite and tactful.

3.1.5 Abstract
Most universities require a doctoral candidate to submit the Abstract, a
concise descriptive summary of the dissertation. It should explain the
project rather than defend it or evaluate it. It should begin with a precise
statement of the problem; continue with the description of the research
methods and design of the study, if applicable. Then it should include
findings and conclusions. The key words and important terminologies
should appear in the Abstract. Although it is the last part of a dissertation
to be written, it is generally one of the first elements a reader will look at.
The Abstract aims at providing an overview of the study which answers
the following questions: What is/was the general purpose of the study?
What is/was the particular aim of the study? Why is/was the study carried
TUFHOSS

24

out? How is/was the study carried out? What does/did the study reveal?
However, the elements of the abstract can be arranged in a number of
ways.

The final version of the Abstract comes immediately after the

Acknowledgements page in the bound version of the dissertation. It
consists of an especially intensive and condensed summary in around four
pages of what the study is about. The Abstract is a key opportunity for the
researchers to set out the core of their argument in a helpful way for
readers.

3.1.6 Contents
The table of contents in theory precedes all of the sections it lists. It should
list all the elements of the preliminaries that follow it, the chapter titles,
the main headings and subheadings in the text, and the reference materials.
The sample page of Table of Contents is given in Appendix D.

3.1.7 List of Tables and Figures

List of Tables should follow the Table of Contents. Tables and Figures are
treated as different entities; their presentation styles are also different in
both APA and MLA styles. The columns and rows of tables may be
enclosed inside boxes or in plane rows and columns. Charts, graphs, maps,
photographs, cartoon sketches and visual images of any kind are grouped
under figures.

3.1.8 List of Abbreviations, Acronyms and Symbols.

One of the purposes of using the shortened versions of words, phrases and
other referents is that they help make the research work concise. But the
TUFHOSS

25

researcher should supply the complete and full information of the

shortened and abbreviated forms. The word abbreviation refers to any type
of shortened version such as Mr., U.S.A., and lb. As a subset of
abbreviation, acronym refers to terms based on initial letters (initialisms)
that can be treated as a single word such as AIDS, NASA.

3.2 The Body Chapters

The body of the dissertation begins with the first page of the Chapter 1,
which follows the preliminaries. Each chapter must begin in a new page.
Chapters should be numbered. The body should be divided into chapters
which can be further divided into sections, and sections into subsections
all with headings. All the headings should be brief and explanatory. Each
topic calls for an organization appropriate to its own logic and to
discipline or field. Formats for the body of dissertations differ for the three
general types of dissertations: (1) dissertations based on the collection of
the empirical data, (2) dissertations derived from critical analysis or
philosophical inquiry, and (3) dissertations based on historical research.

In the first types of dissertations, chapters are usually divided into five
categories corresponding to the stages of research. Although they may be
variously labeled, they can be categorized as Introduction, Review of
Literature, and Methodology/Methods of the Investigation, Findings,
Discussions and Interpretations.

The Introduction section introduces the entire work. An introduction to the

subject indicates the importance and the validity of the problem chosen for
the study. The potential contribution of the study and the need for the
research and any other necessary information may be placed in this part. A
TUFHOSS

26

clear and concise statement of the problem together with a description of

its delimitation or scope is presented here. The rationale of selection,
collection procedures of data can be presented in this part. A clear
epistemological, theoretical, analytical framework and basic assumptions
are established. The operational definitions of key terms are given in this
section. Finally, the blueprint (road map) with chapter outline is presented
here.

Usually in a separate chapter, the Review of Literature section establishes

a context of the research. The review should not merely summarize a
bundle of information based on books and articles; rather, it should
identify and locate the place of this research in relation to other researches.
It should evaluate (agree and /or disagree) and interpret the existing
research and finally point out the gap and show the departure as it paves
avenues to further research (see also 2.1.8).

The Methodology section should explain how the research was conducted
and how the data were obtained. The section requires a detailed
description of the research processes such as the participants, materials,
and procedures and an explanation of the reasons for doing so (see also
2.1.8). In social sciences and humanities, research scholars rarely make
general remarks because various disciplines /fields use different methods.
Indeed, different fields have different standards. In all cases, however, the
methods used should be aligned with the study's research questions and
theoretical assumptions. A non-evaluative analysis of the results is the
heart of the dissertation based on the collection of the empirical data.

The final chapter(s) (Findings, Discussions, and Interpretations) should be

TUFHOSS

27

devoted to evaluation and interpretation of the data and the formulation of

conclusions. The interpretation of the dissertation may be integrated with
the findings or may be presented in the concluding chapter(s). The
Conclusion might include the implications of the work for the revision of
previous interpretations to theories in the field and it may open the
avenues onto new areas of inquiry.

3.2.1 A Typical Structure of the Body Chapters

Although the format of the dissertation depends on the disciplinary
protocols of the given topic, a typical content of chapters can be presented
as follows:

Chapter 1: Introduction

General background information on the project

The statement of the problem
Objectives of the study
Research questions
Hypothesis (optional)
Scope of the study
Significance of the study
Definitions of key terms
Organization of the thesis
Chapter 2: Literature Review

3.4. Synopsis of the Dissertation

The Dean's Office of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences,

Tribhuvan University, asks Ph.D. candidates to submit a synopsis (a
concise and condensed descriptive five-to-seven page summary of the
entire dissertation) for the viva voce. Like Abstract, it should explain the
research rather than evaluate it. It should include (a) the statement of the
problem, (b) research questions, (c) objectives, (d) methodology, (e)
findings and (f) conclusions. The synopsis should aim at answering these
questions: (a) Why is this study needed? (b) What is the purpose of the
study? Why is this study carried out? How is this study carried out? What
does this study reveal? What new knowledge does this study add to the
world? In addition, the synopsis should offer the operational definitions of
the key terms used in the study. Furthermore, since the synopsis is the
only document that most examiners read during the viva voce, it should
include processes, assumptions, methods, tools of inquiry, theoretical
groundings, counter-perspectives, major arguments, claims, limitations,
ethical issues, lacunae and lines for further research.

Chapter 4: Language of Research

4.1 Conciseness and Clarity

One of the crucial features of research writing is that as far as possible one
should describe maximum amount of information by means of minimum
number of words on the condition that the text is clear, unambiguous, and
cohesive. One can tighten the text by omitting repetition, circumlocution,
and wordiness. In Ph.D. dissertations, researchers often repeat ideas. The
exact wording/phrasing is being repeated in various parts: "Abstract,"
"Introduction," and "Conclusion." Once something is said, its informative
value is over. Saying the same thing twice/thrice means making it
redundant. However, for some valid reasons, ideas can be repeated in their
rephrased versions in different parts of the dissertation. Empty /inflated
phrases can be replaced by single words with little or no loss of meaning.
For instance, despite the fact that can be replaced by although. As far as
possible, puffed-up expressions (jargons) designed to impress readers
rather than to inform them should be replaced by plain expressions
(ameliorate can be replaced by improve). Euphemisms are sometimes used
to substitute "harsh" expressions (They had sexual intercourse can be
replaced by They slept together). Sometimes euphemisms can be evasive
and may obscure the intended meanings. In such cases, the plain and
explanatory words should be used. Clarity is another requirement of
research text. Researchers should use concrete nouns, definite and specific
nouns or pronouns instead of abstract and indefinite expressions so that
readers and examiners can categorically verify the facts.
TUFHOSS

31

4.2 Coherence and Unity

The ideas developed in the dissertation should be interconnected and
integral in such a way that the withdrawal of one chapter, element or idea
/proposition may dislocates the whole. All ideas interwoven in the text
should be cohesively interconnected. The redundant and unrelated chunks
should be omitted from the text. In a paragraph, for instance, one main
idea should be supported by other ideas inductively or deductively.
Similarly, all the elements, larger or smaller, should be related, implicitly
or explicitly, to the title of the dissertation. Researchers sometimes, supply
information which is not demanded by the research design and question.
For instance, they supply information about the etymologies, definitions,
histories, backgrounds of terms /variables which do not fall under the
research compass.

4.3 Consistency
Consistency is required in the entire dissertation so that it can be easy to
read. Consistency should be maintained at various levels. Most researchers
do not stick to one point of view; rather they make inconsistent
perspectives from which the text is written. Point of view is reflected from
the system of persons of pronouns ("I" versus "he" or "she"), tense (past
versus present), aspect (simple versus perfect), adverbs (now versus then,
close versus distant), number (singular versus plural), and voice (active
versus passive). As far as possible, the consistent point of view should be
maintained. In the case of variation, there must be some valid reason.
Consistency should be maintained in the selection of letters (types and
size), style of documentation (whether to use APA, MLA or other),
variation of spelling and grammar (whether to use North American or
British English variety). Put shortly, consistency should be observed at
every level of the dissertation.
TUFHOSS

32

4.4 Tone and Distance

In research writing, some degree of formality is necessary. The use of
contractions (don't) and colloquial words (kids, kinda) are avoided in it.
The purpose of academic writing is to let ideas unfold themselves and the
author has little or no intervention for the interpretation of the meaning of
the text. As far as possible evaluative, judgmental and opinionated
expressions are avoided and descriptive and explanatory terms are used.
The researcher should position herself/himself at a critical distance so that
an objective interpretation can be made. In certain types of research (say,
Marxist, Critical, or postmodern), the researcher can take an explicit
position but in such cases s/he should admit the limitations with a sense of
self-reflexivity. Even the use of "I" is acceptable in place of "the
researcher" in postmodern approach to research in which the researcher is
just unfolding a version her /his reality.

4.5 Reducing Bias

The research text should show the fair treatment of individuals and groups
in terms of various social relationships such as economic class, sex,
gender, sexuality, region, religion, nation, race /caste, culture, occupation,
age, bodily structure, dress, physical /mental ability. Any type of
stereotypical representation should not be made through language. One of
the ways of reducing bias in language is to "put the person first" followed
by a descriptive phrase such as "a person diagnosed with schizophrenia."

Chapter 5: Mechanics and Style

5.1 Indentation
The first line of each paragraph of the entire dissertation (except Abstract
and References /Works Cited) is indented with about five spaces or one-
half inch. However, the paragraph which connects the ideas quoted in the
"block quote" or "set-off quote" is not indented. APA style recommends
that a piece of quoted material consisting 40 or more words is to be
considered as the block quotation and has to be indented with just five
spaces (one-half inch). MLA, however, recommends that the set-off
quotation is to be indented with ten spaces (one inch) from the left from
where normal lines start. The indentation system of References and Works
Cited is different from the rest of the dissertation. In this part, hanging
indentation is used. To use a hanging indentation, any additional line
except the first of each entry is flushed left by one-half inch. The purpose
of hanging indentation is to make readers easy to find out authors' last
names.

5.2 Line Spacing

Unless otherwise is recommended by the supervisor, the entire dissertation
should be double spaced.

5.3 Alignment
The entire text (except the text of the Title Page which is centered) is
aligned to the left without justifying the paragraphs. However, headings,
titles and epigraphs are centered.
TUFHOSS

34

5.4 Pagination
All the preliminaries except Abstract and Approval Letter are counted as
pages of the dissertation. All pages except the title page are numbered. For
the preliminaries, the lower cases of roman numerals are used at the center
of the bottom. For the body and the back matter, Arabic numerals are used
starting from the first page of the body and ending with the last page of the
back matter. APA recommends that a shortened version of the title (up to
50 characters) followed by five spaces and page number at the right top
corner just one inch below the top margin. One line space is left between
the header and the first line of the text. MLA recommends that the header
should have the last name of the author and the page number. This header
with the page number is placed just one-half inch below the top margin.
Margins should measure at least one inch on all sides. For the binding
purpose, the left margin is increased by one-half inch.

The type size for the text of dissertation is twelve-point font. Decorative
fonts should not be used for dissertations. Times New Roman is normally
used as its italicized form is easily noticed. The paper size recommended
is 8.5 by 11 inches. The minimum printed area should be 6.5 by 9 inches.

5.5 Typography
Italics is accepted by both style manuals (APA and MLA). The following
titles of resources are italicized: books, magazines, newspapers,
pamphlets, long poems, plays, films, television programs, radio programs,
musical compositions, works of visual arts, electronic databases, and
websites. Non-English words used in the English text are italicized. But
Anglicized foreign words are not italicized. Words, letters and numbers
are italicized as they are used as words, letters and numbers. As per the
TUFHOSS

35

convention observed in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences,

Dean's Office, Tribhuvan University, all capital letters are written only in
the title of the degree (DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY), the titles of front
matter, chapter titles of the body and titles of the back matter.

The direct quotes (except the block quotes) are put in double quotes.
However, MLA recommends that the titles of articles, short stories,
essays, episodes of radio and television programs, songs and short poems
are put within double quotes. The basic purpose of using quotation marks
is to write words as exactly they were mentioned. In the case of the
quotation within a quotation, single quotation marks are used. Unless
otherwise suggested, footnotes are not used in both the systems. If
essential, notes are placed just before the references or works cited list.

5.6 Diction
Words should be chosen to suit the project. The diction in research paper
should be formal rather than colloquial. Each words should convey the
meaning as exactly as possible. Slangs and words of everyday
conversation are rarely used in the research text. In the case of specialized
words and jargons, definitions should be given.

5.7 Verb Tense

Researchers are suggested to use of past tense to express an action or a
condition that occurred at a specific, definite time in the past, but they
should use the present or present perfect tense (argues, has argued ) to
introduce source material unless they include a date that specifies the time
of the original author's writing.
TUFHOSS

36

5.8 Mood and Voice

Researchers should use the subjunctive mood only when they describe
conditions that are contrary to facts or improbable (for instance, If the
samples were larger the results might be different). As far as possible
researchers should use active verbs (e.g., The researcher visited Lumbini
three times instead of Lumbini was visited three times by the researcher).

5.9 Spelling
Since words may be spelt /spelled variously, for the sake of consistency
the researcher should stick to one system. Since, the documentation
systems practiced in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in
Tribhuvan University are U.S. based (American Psychological
Association and Modern Language Association), American (North
American English) spellings system should be followed. The most reliable
authority for spelling is Webster's Third New International Dictionary or
its abridgment, or the eleventh edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary. Where Webster's offers a choice between spellings, the
researcher should use any one of the variants where variants are separated
by "or" s/he should use the first option if variants are separated by "also."

5.10 Numbers
In APA format, numbers one through ten are spelled out. Numbers above
ten should always be written in numerals. Sentence should not begin with
numerals including dates.

5.11 Punctuation
Periods (.) are often used:
(a) at the end of a complete sentence: What Americans call a
period is named a full stop in Britain.
(b) in initials of an author's name: S. P. Lohani
TUFHOSS

37

(c) in information of reference list: Ed., Vol. p. 34

(d) in abbreviations: trans., Rev., ed.
(e) in Latin abbreviations: i.e., e.g., p.m.
(f) between numbers showing fractions and subsections: 2.5, 6.3.3

Commas (,) are used:

(a) to separate items from a list: tables, chairs, and benches
(b) to set off a non-restrictive or nonessential information: The
baby, wearing a red shirt, is vaccinated.
(c) to separate a subordinate clause in a compound sentence:
Although he has not taken his bag, he claims it.
(d) to separate day of the month from the year: May 25, 2013
(e) to separate the year and the page number(s) in the text citation:
(Sharma 2013, p. 5)

Semicolons (;) are used:

(a) to separate clauses of a compound sentence when no
conjunctions are used: Men were present; women were absent.

(b) to separate elements in a series when the elements contain

commas in the text citation: (Sharma 2013, pp.1-4; Paudel
2009, p. 4)

Colons (:) are used:

(a) to introduce a list: He has three problems: nausea, vomiting
and headache
(b) to introduce an illustration:
(c) to introduce a blocked or set off quotation (see p. )
TUFHOSS

38

(d) to introduce a sub-title: Representing Gender Relations in

Nepali Brihat Shabdakosh: A Critical Discourse Analysis
(e) after the place of publication in the list of references or works
cited. Kathmandu: Ekta Books.
(f) after the year of publication in parentheses of a journal: Cross
Currents 1.2 (2012): 20-35.
(g) to link a contrastive statement: Yesterday was bad: today is
good.

Question marks (?) are placed at the end of a complete sentence which is
phrased as a question (yes/no or information question): Are you disturbed
by the niose? Who would tell the right answer?
A question mark also indicates the meaning of uncertainty.
Exclamation mark (!) is rarely used in academic writing, except where
they are part of quoted material.

Hyphens (-) are used

(a) in compound words: Cross- current, A user-friendly guide

(b) to show inclusive page numbers: 257- 266.
Dashes (–) are elongated hyphens used to set off text in a way similar to
ut more prominent han commas or parentheses: The influence of three
impressionists—Monet (1840–1926), Sisley (1839–99), and Degas (1834–
1917)—is obvious in her work.

Parentheses (( )) are used

(a) to set off explanatory or interrupting elements of a sentence, much
like paired commas and dashes: The detailed description of this
TUFHOSS

39

matter is given in the next chapter (see pages 44- 67).

(b) to show publication year /date in the in-text citation and in the
References. .
Brackets ([ ]) are most often used
(a) in quotations, to indicate changes made to a quoted passage:
"When [women] work in groups, they perform even better."
(b) to enclose a second layer of information within parentheses:

The ellipsis mark ([. . .] three periods with spaces between) is used to
condense a quoted passage to indicate that some of the words are left out:
The last sentence “. . . I e the one to cook” places Celie in the su ject
position ut denies her the freedom, power and agency exercised by the
rapist agent.

(But if the ellipsis mark is placed after one or more full sentences, a period
is used just before three ellipsis dots).

On the contrary, the portrayal of Celie in the same sentences is just the
reverse. She is in fact represented as a patient [my italic], a sufferer that
“can est e characterized as the role of the being or that is affected by the
action . . . . If I kill a person, that person is present and affected by the
action.”

Chapter 6: Documenting Sources

6.1 Documentation and Plagiarism

The term "plagiarism" comes from the Latin root meaning kidnapping.
But in academic field it implies the use of other's ideas as if they were
one's own. Plagiarism is academically dishonest practice. Researchers
document sources for various reasons: (a) they tell readers where the
documented piece of information comes from so that readers can assess its
reliability and find the original source, (b) researchers give credit to the
writers from whom they have borrowed ideas, (c) they cite source to make
their work more credible since ideas without proper sources may lose the
credibility. Writers may plagiarize ideas in various ways. Self-plagiarism
occurs when writers use their own ideas used in their previous works.
They should acknowledge the sources of those ideas used for the second
or more times.

All types of knowledges are not necessarily documented. There are

normally two domains of knowledge: common domain and specific
/special domain. Some information is supposed to be known by common
people as scurvy is caused by the lack of vitamin C in human body.
Documenting such information in unnecessary. Historical facts published
frequently in books, everyday observations known by common people,
popular information shared by people in general are not normally
documented. Specific ideas developed/created by individuals should be
properly documented.

MLA style gives the authors "full name when it is first mentioned. This
approach emphasizes authorship and interpretation. APA style, which uses
TUFHOSS

41

only the last names of authors, gives a date after the authors' name. This
approach reflects the social scientists' concern with the currency of
research. MLA style places the date in the works cited list but omits it in
the text.

While currency is important, what someone had to say a century ago may
be as significant as the latest contribution to the field. Both styles include
page numbers for quotations. MLA style requires page numbers for
summaries and paraphrases as well. With a page number, readers can
easily find the original passage that has been summarized or paraphrased.
While APA does not require page numbers for summaries and
paraphrases, it recommends that writers use a page number if doing so
would help readers find the passage in a longer work. Finally, MLA style
uses the present tense (such as argues) to introduce cited material, whereas
APA style uses the past or present perfect tense (such as argued or have
argued) in signal phrases. The present tense evokes the timelessness of a
literary text; the past or present perfect tense emphasizes that research or
experimentation occurred in the past. Comparatively, APA style
recommends researchers to write initial letters of the first names and
middle names of the author whereas MLA recommends for full names.
APA recommends that except the first letter of the first word and the first
letters of the proper names, all other letters should be written in smaller
letters in the list of references. MLA recommends that all first letters of
the lexical items of the woks cited list should be written in capital letter.
MLA seems to be concise in the in-text citation as it does not recommend
writing p (p), and year, the shortened version UP that stands for University
Press. MLA in its 7th edition also recommends that the mode of
production is given at the end. For the detailed illustrations of every item
TUFHOSS

42

in the system of documentation, researchers are suggested to consult

Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th
edition, 2010) for printed materials and APA Style Guide to Electronic
References (6th edition, 2012) for electronic sources for APA style, and
MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th edition, 2009) for
both printed and electronic sources for MLA style. Doing research and
collecting, gathering and documenting sources is a very intricate process.
It is not feasible and possible to illustrate each and every nuances of the
style of documentation. It is suggested that for exceptional cases,
researchers are suggested to solve problems of documentation by
consulting their respective supervisors and experts.

In general, references should contain four elements: the author's name

("who"), year of publication ("when"), title of the work ("what"), and
source data or publication information ("where"). The four elements
appear in different orders in APA and MLA. In APA, they occur in this
order: Author. (Year). Title. Place of Publication: Publisher. In MLA, the
order is: Author. Title. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. Mode of
Publication. The following example illustrates the order of elements:

APA: Beasley, R., & Marcel, D. (2002). Persuasive signs: The semiotics
of advertising. New York: Mouton de Gruyter.

6.2 In-text Citation

6.2.1 Presenting /Citing Tables and Figures
In APA (2010, pp. 128 -150) format, a table may have five elements: table
number, table title, table heading, table body, table notes. All tables are
numbered in Arabic numerals. In the text, tables should be referred to by
their numbers. Tables and illustrations should be placed as close as
possible to the parts of the texts they relate. If the table is developed by the
researcher, no source is needed. If it is borrowed, then its source should be
shown just after the table.

Graphs, charts, maps, drawings and photographs are categorized under

figures. A legend explains the symbols used in the figure. It is placed
within the figure. A caption is a concise explanation of the figure. Figures
should be labeled as Figure (or Fig. MLA). Figures are numbered in
Arabic numerals.

6.2.2 Citing the Text

The APA requires citation of documentation within the text rather than in
footnotes or endnotes. The author's last name, the year of publication, and
page number is incorporated into the text itself or placed within
parentheses as necessary for the particular sentence. Whether the
researcher summarizes or paraphrases or quotes directly, s/he must
provide the source of information within the text.
(a) If the researcher mentions the author's name in the text, only the
year of publication is cited in parentheses immediately after the
author's name.
(b) If the researcher does not mention the author's name in the text,
then author's name, followed by a comma, year of publication are
mentioned within the parentheses.
(c) If the researcher cites the specific parts of a source, then pages,
TUFHOSS

45

chapter, paragraphs
The only difference with MLA is that it does not permit to write year of
publication, p for pages.

6.2.3 Block / Set-off Quotation

If the quoted material comprises fewer than 40 words, then it is
incorporated into the text and is enclosed in double quotation marks. If the
quoted material comprises 40 or more words, then it is put in a
freestanding block by omitting the quotation marks. The information such
as author, year, and page(s) are placed after the final punctuation marks
such as full stop or question mark. The following paragraphs illustrate the
use of block quote and integrated quote:
Lexicographers have been uncomfortable with this idea for a long period
of time, for instance, James Murray, the founding editor of the Oxford
English Dictionary, puts:

We see ourselves as working firmly within the tradition of

descriptive lexicography. For us, a dictionary is a
description of the vocabulary used by members of a speech
community for example, y „ speakers of English‟ . And the
starting point for this description is evidence of what
members of the speech community do when they
communicate with one another. (2007, p. 16)

In this connection, Hellinger and Pauwels (2007, P.667) argue that

dictionaries "have institutionalized sexist language in their choice of
definitions and examples (use of androcentric generics, asymmetrical
gender-marking, the communication of stereotypical gender roles)."

Appendix E: Footnote (Sample)

Ackerley insists in My Father and Myself--an autobiographical text

describing his relationship with his father Roger Ackerley who at a
particular period of his life was himself a homosexual-- that he was not
effeminate despite of the nickname “girlie” that he acquired at his
preparatory school, and that effeminacy in men did in fact repel him: “
…certainly effeminacy in men repel me as much as women did.” It is
possi le that the fear of eing seen as effeminate haunted him throughout
his life. In the colonial context of India where the natives in general were
seen as effeminate as opposed to the manly Englishman, however, I argue,
Ackerley could assert his own masculinity by projecting the sign of
effeminacy upon the cultural Other.

Though Ackerley was seen by his fellow English as effeminate he

describes himself as properly masculine in Hindoo Holiday by contrasting
his manliness with the effeminacy of the Indian men. Thus, Ackerley
represents Vishwa Nath Singh as effeminate both because of his pre-
modern bhakti, and because of his servile attempts to modernize himself
by miming the western models. In other words, Vishwa Nath Singh was
seen as effeminate both because he had rejected the martial, Kshatriya
masculinity of his caste in favor of the lower-class native tradition of
irrational bhakti, as also due to the fact that he was ever ready to reconfirm
his subordinate position by perpetually miming the imperial models. 1

G.H. Lewes alternating with Marie Corelli,” Sidney and Beatrice We , Indian Diary
