Guide to Thesis Format and Style

I. Introduction

The preparation of graduate and undergraduate thesis does not differ so much
from other reports, which are investigative in nature. However, certain styles and
format must be followed as guide for student researchers and faculty members
engaged in such ventures. For the purpose of attaining certain degree of uniformity
and consistency in writing thesis on the graduate/undergraduate level, the following
presentations may be used as guide.

II. Organization of Graduate/Undergraduate Thesis

The arrangements of parts in a thesis paper are as follows:

IV. The Introduction

Introduces the topic and the background of the study and should answer the
question, “what is the study all about?”

a. Background of the Study

This is a brief statement of the origin of the problem. It is an account
describing the circumstances, which suggested research. It may include a
justification of the selection or choice of the study. Present global-national-local
scenarios. This shall answer “what other authors say about the topic?” (2-3
pages; do not start with a quotation).

b. Statement of the Problem

The problem studied must be shown as one, which arose from a
situation of need or unresolved difficulties. The reader must be made to
recognize this need.
The problem should be stated precisely, accurately, and clearly. The
problem should be defined in terms of the data that can be obtained. This
should clearly state the “gaps in knowledge” based on literature reviewed, that
the author wishes to investigate. (Present general problem statement followed
by the specific problem statements. General problem statement – declarative
form; specific statements – question form)

c. Objectives of the Study

A brief statement of the purposes which the study/research hopes to
achieve. (general problem statements; in paragraph form)
 5

d. Significance of the Study

This section should show why the problem investigated is important and
what significance the results have. It should include a statement on relevance
to felt needs, the potential contribution of the research to new knowledge, and
policy implications and other possible uses for its results. (identify who would
benefit from the study and what benefit they could get from it)

e. Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The boundaries of the study should be properly defined. The scope is
expected to indicate a reasonable area of study, which is large enough to be
significant but narrow enough to permit careful treatment.
The scope of the problem should be stated specifically. The nature of the
subjects treated, their number, the treatments they received, and any
limitations that exist in the reference population, instruments or research
design should be stated.

f. Time and Place of the Study

This section should reflect the place where the study will be conducted. If
involving fabrication, the name of the manufacturer/fabricator shall be
included. The time-duration in the conduct of the study shall also be specified.

g. Conceptual/ Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework outlines the theory that one wishes to expose
or to verify in a study.
From the review of the related literature and studies, the researcher
formulates a conceptual scheme for his research problem, which is a tentative
theoretical explanation of the phenomenon/ problem he is going to investigate.
The conceptual framework should be reduced into a paradigm/ schematic
diagram showing the variables of the framework and their interrelationships.
The theoretical scheme is the basis for formulating the research hypothesis/es.
 6

V. Review of Related Literature

a. The purposes of this section are: (a) to tell what research has or has
not been done on the problem; and (b) to explain or clarify the
theoretical rationale of the problem. This section provides a general
picture of the research topic.
b. Only studies which are related in purpose, method, or findings to
current study, should be included in the review. The discussion of
such studies should be in the form of a brief critical analysis of the
purposes, method of study, principal findings and conclusions.
c. Clarify the interrelationships of the studies reviewed. Point out the
weaknesses and strengths of each study. Point out how each study
reviewed is related to the problem at hand. Summarize the review and
provide a transition from the past studies to the present one. The
present study should be shown to relate with or evolved from earlier
work.
d. In the text, only the last names of the authors and the year of
publication are given. In the case of citations of different works by
persons with the same surname, initials should be included in the
last names for proper identifications.
e. Literature review should cover all variables in the conceptual
framework. Group same topics, both literature and studies. Minimize
figures/diagrams in the text. If many figures and diagrams are
necessary, place them in the appendix.
f. Subheading/subtitle should be upper/lower case bold followed by a
period. Discussions/enumeration should be in paragraph form.
Direct quotes should be indented both sides, italicized, single spaced.

VI. Methodology

This chapter includes descriptions of the method used, sources of data,

the data gathering instruments, sampling technique, procedure of the study
and statistical treatment.
 7

Method Used
A brief description of the method of research used in doing the study.
(e.g. descriptive method, survey method, etc.).

Sources of Data
This section describes the sources of data – whether primary or
secondary.

The report should include appropriate information on the total

population, the sample and the sources of evidences. How was the problem of
missing data handled?

To be valid, the investigation must make use of exact and complete

primary and/or secondary information.

Data Gathering Instrument

A description of the adoption, construction, and administration of
instruments should be included. Instruments include tests, questionnaires,
interview guides or schedules, and the like. Apparatus, devices, and laboratory
equipment used should be described. In the case of complex or custom-built
equipment, the inclusion of a drawing or photograph is recommended. (Likert
scaling to be used should also be presented).

Include discussion on validity and reliability of the instruments (if survey

instruments are self-constructed).

Sampling Technique
A description of the sampling technique used in determining the sample
size of the subject and how were they selected.
 8

Procedure of the Study

The procedures followed in conducting the study should be explained in
complete detail. Techniques, devices and procedures followed should be
described.

In the case of experiments, this section should include the instructions

given to participants, the formation of groups, the experimental manipulations,
and the control features of the design.

Remember that this section tells the reader what you did and how you
did it.

Any error or weakness in procedures that has been discovered during the
conduct of the research should be pointed out, and any consequent limitations
upon the research results should be fully noted.

(Discussion should revolve around the problem statements; presented in

paragraph form.)

Statistical Treatment
Describe briefly how the data collected are to be processed. If statistical
techniques/tools are used, this fact should be mentioned. If one has used a
technique that is, strictly speaking, not appropriate to the data, this fact should
be noted and explanations should be made. It is only when the statistical
technique used is new or unfamiliar that the formula is given. (Mention to
which problem statement the statistical tool is used/applied).

VII. Results and Discussion

In this chapter, the researcher summarizes the collected data and the
statistical treatment applied to them. The results should be presented in a
straightforward and unbiased way. The presentation must be geared to the
research questions and the research hypothesis. (Presentation of findings must
 9

follow the sequence of the problem statements. Tables and figures should be
presented after being introduced in the text or after the discussions. Present either
a table or a figure and never both. Table and figure numbering must be sequential.)
Present only relevant data. Individual scores or raw data should not be
reported in the text. If these need to be included at all, they should be placed in the
Appendix.
In reporting the data, choose the medium that will present them
effectively. It will be very helpful to summarize the results and analyses through
tables and/or figures/graphs.
Do not repeat the same data in several places, and do not include tables
with the data that can be presented as well in the next. Present all relevant
results, including those that run counter to the hypotheses.
The textual description, analysis and interpretation should focus on the
patterns and deviations in the contents of the tables and charts, rather than
restatement of their content all over again. Do not expect the tables and figures to
do the entire communication for you.
The analyses of data should be objective and logical. Make a careful
distinction between fact and opinion. Facts, not opinion, should prevail.
In reporting statistical tests of significance, include information
concerning the obtained magnitude or value of the test, the degrees of freedom,
the probability level and the direction of the effects.

VIII. Summary, Conclusion, Recommendation

Summary
The summary contains an overview of the research. It gives a brief
statement of the problem, the procedures and the findings. (Should be in
paragraph form. Present only the summary of findings. No need to present
numerical data.)
The summary should not contain any new information but should briefly
recapitulate the entire content of the paper. It is as if the researcher was asked
by a colleague what problem he has studied and what results he has obtained.
 10

He should reply briefly and to the point, sketching all the important aspects of
his study, describing the conclusions and how he arrived at them.

Conclusions
Broad generalizations not adequately supported by data should be
avoided. Conclusions should be drawn only for the population and
circumstances for which evidences have been collected. (Should be based on the
findings of the study. It should be presented in paragraph form).
Any weakness in the research design, techniques, or population that has
come to light and which can no longer be corrected should be discussed
frankly, with particular attention given to the manner in which the weakness
may have affected the outcomes of the research.

Recommendations
Presented in paragraph form.

IX. Page, Format and Layout

a. Main Heading, Section and Subsections
MAIN HEADING (1st level heading)

Major Subsection (2nd level heading)

Minor Subsection (3rd level heading)

Paragraph heading (4th level heading)

1. 1st Level Headings – ALL WORDS IN THIS LEVEL SHOULD BE CAPITALIZED,

BOLD AND LOCATED AT THE CENTER OF THE PAGE. First level headings with 2 or
more paragraphs should always be on a separate sheet or page.

2. 2nd Level Headings - This heading is located at the center. It is underlined and
typed in bold letters. Only first letters of words should be capitalized.

3. 3rd Level Headings – It starts at the left-hand margin. It is not indented. Only the
beginning of important words is capitalized. It is not underlined but in bold letters.
 11

4. 4th Level Headings – It is intended 5 spaces and is underlined and bold. It ends
with a period. Only the beginning of the first word of the tile is capitalized. The first
statement follows immediately after heading, observing 2 spaces after the punctuation
mark, period. Leave 2 spaces for the succeeding 4th level heading if there is any.
(See sample for headings on page 5.)

Length of leaves (cm), (Fourth level heading) (text follows.)

(4 spaces provided before next heading)

Fresh weight (g), (Fourth level heading (text follows)

 13

b. Tables

Tables are placed immediately on the next page after their first mention in the
text. These are numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Only the first word and
proper nouns in the title begin with a capital letter. Text references to tables are made
parenthetically (Table 2) or as part of the sentences: (as shown in Table 2). The first
top and last bottom lines are doubled at ½ space. Just like text headings, tables have
also headings with levels. All letters in the first table headings are capitalized. Only the
first letters of important words in the second level table heading is capitalized. Tables
can stand alone, so the place and date must be placed with the text. Large tables
should occupy one page. However, for small tables, text can continue in 4 spaces
before and after the table.

(Provide 4 spaces after the table prior to text)

There is no need of vertical lines or columns separating the table heading and
the entries in the table from one another. Horizontal lines need not also separate
entries of items in the body of the table but these should be double – spaced. However,
item of two or more line should be single – spaced. (See above sample.)
c. Spacing
 14

Four spaces after 1st level headings and four spaces before and after the 2 nd
level headings. Two spaces before and after the 3 rd level or 4th headings. Type 2nd level
headings more than five inches in length in two or more single spaced lines and in
inverted pyramid form. Type 3 rd level headings more than half a line margin. Single
space must be observed in two-line 3 rd level heading but be consistent within the
article. Never type a heading at the bottom of a page without at least one line of text
material underneath. At the beginning of every page place text material two spaces
below the page number.
For small tables where text can be placed, four spaces before and after the table
is required.

d. Font

Bookman Old Style, size 12

e. Margin

Minimum margin is 1.5 inches on the left, 1.2 inches right, 1.2 inches top, and
1.2 inches bottom. Five spaces are the customary paragraph indention. Edge margin
for page number is 0.5 inches from bottom (for bottom page markers i-iii) and 0.5
inches from top edge (for top page number1-…)

f. Paging

On the pages carrying major headings, such as the first page of a chapter, first
page of the appendix, etc., the page number is omitted.
For preliminary pages, use small Roman numerals (ii, iii, iv. etc.). Place number
but is considered as ii. The Approval Sheet bears no number but is considered iii. The
Biographical Sketch bears number iv. Other preliminary pages are numbered
consecutively in the following order: Dedication (if any), Acknowledgements, Table of
Contents, List of tables (if any), and List of figures (if any), List of Plates (if any), List of
Appendices, and Abstract.
 15

For the text, use Arabic numerals. Page numbers should be placed on the
upper right hand corner of the page. Page number 1 of Chapter I is omitted. Page 2 is
the first page that carries a printed number. The pages are numbered consecutively to
the end of the paper, including pages of figures, tables and appendix tables. They
should not be enclosed in parenthesis. Hyphens or any other devices.
If the pages are added or taken out after they are numbered, adjustments
should be made. For example, if two pages are added between 37 and 38 are removed;
page 36 should be numbered 36-38.

g. Tenses

1. Experimental facts should be given in the past tense:

Ex. The plants grew better in A than B.
2. Remarks about the presentation of data shall be in the present tense:
Ex. Diagrams of dry yields are shown if Fig.3
3. General truth shall be in the present tense.

h. Literature Cited

Place five or more references in a separate section called Literature Cited. Four
or less appears as footnotes.
Citations should be listed alphabetically by author. Usually, only literature
cited in the text is listed. Be sure that your citations are complete, consistent, and
accurate. Check all parts of each citation against the original citations should have all
the data necessary to easily locate the source in a library.
Information in the citation is listed in the following order:

1. AUTHORSHIP – the family names of the first author or sole author as given in
the by-line followed by the first and middle name initials. If there are several
authors, only name of the first is invited for alphabetizing, and a common is
required after the inverted initials. Author’s names are capitalized.
2. THE YEAR OF PUBLICATION follows the authorship enclosed in a parenthesis,
separated by period.
 16

3. THE TITLE. It is customary to capitalize only the first word of the title and the
proper nouns and adjectives.
4. NAME OF THE JOURNAL OR SEVERAL PUBLICATIONS. Abbreviations are
commonly used for the names of serials publications, except for one-world titles
and the titles not found in the Chemical Abstracts Services (1961).
5. VOLUME AND PAGES OF SERIAL appear in Arabic numerals after the name of
the periodicals: 2:120-136, number, supplement or another part within a
volume is shown in parenthesis only when paged independently: 2 (3) 1-56; 34
(Suppl.2): 1-26. Any special series precedes the volume number: Ser. 33, 2:120-
136, or Ser.C, 2(4); 120-136.
6. IN BOOK CITATIONS, the following appear in sequence after the title: the
edition if other than the first, the place of publication, the publisher’s name,
and the number of pages in one volume or the number of volumes if more than
one.

(4 spaces)

Adviser: FE A. MANATAD, Ph. D.

(Abstract text follows after 3 spaces.) (Text should be double - spaced)

j. Abbreviations
 19

1. Abbreviations are used sparingly in the text. They used more frequently in
footnotes, tables and lists of citations.
2. Abbreviations not generally known should be followed in the text by spelled out
forms in parenthesis the first time they occur. In tables such explanatory matter
should be supplied in a footnote.
3. Only weights and measurements may be abbreviated. The same form of the
abbreviation is used for both the singular and the plural. No period is needed after
the abbreviated word. Short words for units of measurements such as acre, day,
inch, liter, mile, rod, ton and week should be spelled out.
4. Except as otherwise designated, points and spaces are omitted after the initials of
names of government agencies and other organized bodies (e.g DOST, DENR).
5. The word o’clock is not used in the abbreviation of time.
6. The CHEMICAL ABSTRACT should be consulted for the standard abbreviation of
units and measures and of periodical publications.

k. Signs and Symbols

1. Symbols that cannot be made on the computer should be interested by hand in

Indian ink. A plus written as hyphen and diagonal dash is not acceptable. All
mathematics and text symbols are present in computers.
2. When X is used to indicate “crossed with”, it should be separated from the
accompanying words by a space (e.g. Peta X Deegeowoogen).
3. The degree should always be used in lieu of the word degree following a figure
denoting measurement. (Example: 50C or 50F)
0
4. Any symbol such as , P, or u that is set up close to numerals should be used
with each numeral in a group or series.
5. A short equation in the text should be centered on a separate line.
6. Mathematical expressions should be kept on a single line whenever possible.
However, if an equation is too long for one, one half line is set flush on the right,
with the parts balanced as nearly as possible. Break along equation or
mathematical expression after the plus or minus sign and before the equal sign.
7. Two of more equations in series are aligned on the equal signs and centered on
the longest equal in the group. If reference is to be made individually it is desirable
 20

to number them with consecutive Arabic numerals. These numerals should be

enclosed in parenthesis and placed at or near the right hand margin. A light leader
line not (dot every third space) should be run from the equation to the number.
8. Connecting words of explanation, such as hence, therefore and similarly, are
set flush either on the same line with the equation or done on separate line.
9. Parenthesis, braces, brackets, integral signs and summation signs should be of
the same height as the mathematical expression they enclosed.
10. A slant line signifies division (/). Fractional exponents are used instead of
square root and cube root signs.
11. Symbols should preferably consist of two or three letters never more than four: j
for joule, v for volt.
12. The same symbol shall be used for both singular and plural forms: 10 amp, not
10 amps.
13. Periods shall be omitted from symbols: g. kg. but in for inches
14. Symbols or numbers should not be used at the beginning of a sentence. They
should either be spelled out in full or the sentence will have to be recast.

l. Numbers

1. Numerals should be used whenever a standard unit of measurement (e.g., 2

mm, 6 kg, 4 liters, and 10 miles) follows a number. Otherwise spell-out one-digit
numbers (one through nine) and use numerals for larger numbers (e.g., three
men), However, in a series of one-digit numbers and larger numbers, use numerals
for all (e.g., 3 16, and 27 women).
2. Numerals are always used for dates, page numbers, numerical designations
and percentages (July 12, 1990; page 12; Case 7; 8 percent). Expressions of time
are usually written as numerals in the biological sciences (e.g.. 2 days, 10 months,
1 year) but one-digit figures are preferably written out in some other fields (two
days, ten months one year).
3. Beginning a sentence with a numeral should be avoided.
4. Ordinals (fifth eighteenth) and fractions (three-fourths) should be spelled out
unless the fractions are combined with other numbers (61/2).
 21

5. Spell out all indefinite and approximate periods of time and all other numerals
that are used I a general manner: e.g., One hundred years ago, three times etc.
6. Use figures for hours of the day, using a colon to separate hours and minutes:
e.g. 7:00 am.; 12 m (m - meridian).
7. Cardinal numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine inclusive shall be written
with hyphens.
8. Ordinal numbers shall be joined with hyphens: e.g.: thirty-fourth; one-hundred-
and eleven.

m. Spelling

Use the latest edition of Webster’s Dictionary to determine correct spelling. If

the word can be spelled correctly in more than one way (e.g., per cent and percent)
settle upon the spelling (preferably the one listed first in Webster) and use it
consistently. If computer is used, spell checks the whole text in order to save time.

n. Underlining

Type in Italics scientific names of genera, subgenera, species and sub-species.

Generic names used as common names are not underlined.
Single foreign words in English text should be underlined, except those, which
have become Anglicized through usage. Et al. is among the Latin words, which no
longer needs to be underlined.
Print words in bold letters but do not underline for emphasis.

o. Capitalization

The trend toward less punctuation calls for well-planned word order to avoid
ambiguity and insure exact interpretation. If it does clarify the text, the punctuation
may be omitted. In addition to the general rules on punctuation found in any grammar
book, the following are recommended.
 22

1. Do not capitalize the first word following a colon if the words following are
merely a supplementary remark making the meaning clearer. Capitalize it if the
material immediately following it is in sentence form.
2. Do not capitalize the first word of a fragmentary quotation.
3. Do not capitalize a descriptive term used to denote mere direction or position
(e.g.. central Europe, south Germany).
4. Do not capitalize the word, figure and plate except when they begin a sentence.
5. Capitalize a descriptive term used to denote a definite region, locality or
geographical feature.

p. Punctuation

The trend toward less punctuation calls for well-planned word order to avoid
ambiguity and insure exact interpretation. If it does not clarify the text the
punctuation may be omitted. In addition to the general rules on punctuation found in
any grammar book, the following are recommended.
1. Use comma instead of parenthesis if the meaning is just as clear.
2. Titles of papers, center headings, and subheadings, legends of tables do not
require terminal punctuation.

they are part of the matter quoted.
5. Single punctuation is used wherever possible.

8. Do not use a hyphen in a compound predicate adjective noun the second
element of which is a present participle. (e.g., The area was used for cotton
growing).
9. Do not use hyphen in a compound predicate adjective the second element if
which is a past participle. (e.g., This material is fire tested).
