CHAPTER 1Comment by eliot: Chapter headings use the style Heading 1.See Chapter 2 for information about styles.See Chapter 3 for how to format headings.INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the CSUF Thesis/Dissertation Template. This document is meant to be three things: 1. A visual example of what a final work should look like; 2. A guide to formatting requirements; 3. The document into which content must be copied for final submission. Equally important to this document is the Thesis Manual. The Manual has definitions and submission info and is required reading for thesis students. The Manual defines what a thesis/dissertation is and how to submit it; the Template describes how it is formatted.

This Document as a Visual ExampleComment by eliot: Primary subheadings use the style Heading 2.

This paper represents what a final paper looks like. Your final paper must look exactly like this template, differing only in terms of content. Requirements include the location and formatting of page numbers, margins, headings and subheadings, figure captions, table titles, etc.

This Document as a Requirements Resource

This document contains comments that explain formatting details and note common errors, and the text of this paper also has explicit instructions on how to format your work. Be sure to read this document thoroughly. Some comments may have information redundant to the body text, in which case it is repeated for emphasis.

Briefly: Chapters 1 and 2 are an introduction and guide to how to use this document. Chapters 3-6 have instructions for tables, figures, and numbers and math, respectively. Appendix A summarizes what appendices are and has example APA and IEEE in-text citations, and Appendix B has a checklist to go through before submission.Comment by eliot: This is referred to as a cue. All figures, tables, and appendices need a cue preceding them. For figure and tables, it should be within a page or two.

This Document as Your Final Submitted Document

This Word file must be the final submitted document sent to the Office of Graduate Studies for proofing. You must modify this file to contain your final contents, rather than modifying another file to resemble this one. This template’s formatting will help make your paper perfect, but ultimately, you alone are responsible for your paper meeting all requirements.

CHAPTER 2USING THIS DOCUMENT

This word file is the final document to be submitted to Graduate Studies. Do not submit another document that you have formatted to resemble this document. Always keep a clean copy of this Template for reference.

Using Styles

Styles in Word allow you to change text to a pre-determined format. At the top of the Word window is the Style Gallery (Figure 1), with Styles like “Normal,” “Heading 1,” and “References.” Highlight a heading in your paper and click Heading 1, and your text should be correctly formatted.

Figure 1. The Style Gallery in Microsoft Word.Comment by eliot: Figures use the style Figures, and captions use the style F. Captions.See Chapter 5 for how to format figures and captions.

Pasting into the TemplateKeep Text Only

Keep Text Only keeps the text from a source without copying the formatting. When pasting into this template from an outside source, right click and select the final option under Paste (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Right click where you would like to paste and select Keep Text Only, highlighted here.

Keep Source Formatting

Keep Source Formatting keeps the formatting from your original document. In general, only use Keep Source Formatting when copying and pasting from one part of the Template to another.

CHAPTER 3SUBHEADINGS

All styles (APA, Chicago, IEEE, etc.) must use the subheading format shown in this chapter.

Primary Subheadings

Primary Subheadings should be centered, title-cased, and bolded. If your title goes onto two lines, it should be single-spaced with one blank single-spaced line before the first line of body-text.

Secondary SubheadingsComment by Cossaboom, Eliot: Secondary subheadings use the style Heading 3.

A Secondary Subheading is a subsection of a Primary Subheading. All subheadings should be worded in the Table of Contents the same as in the text. The text starts in the line below the Secondary Subheading. There is no period or other punctuation after a Secondary Subheading. If secondary Subheadings are used, there should be at least two per Primary Subheading section.

Tertiary SubheadingsComment by Cossaboom, Eliot: Tertiary subheadings use the style Heading 4.

This subheading is a subsection of a Secondary Subheading. Both Secondary and Tertiary Subheadings relate generally to the Primary Subheading, but Tertiary Subheadings are not included in the Table of Contents. The text starts in the line below the heading, and the heading is italicized. Refer to APA 7th edition for further subheading levels and appropriate usage.

We Always Have to Be Sure to Have at Least Two or More Subheadingsin a Given Section

We always need either zero or two-plus subheadings within a given section. Here, we have two Tertiary Subheadings, so we are okay. As with all headings, especially long Tertiary Subheadings should be broken onto two lines, in which case they are single-spaced.Comment by Author: See Chapter 6 for how to format numbers.

We Can Have Zero or Two+ Subheadings in a Given Section—Never Exactly One

This template includes Styles (Chapter 1) for Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Subheadings as Heading 2, Heading 3, and Heading 4. Heading 1 is for section titles.

Subheadings and Your Table of Contents

Your Table of Contents is meant to list your: Sections, Chapters, Primary Subheadings, and Secondary Subheadings. Please do not include Tertiary Subheadings or beyond.

CHAPTER 4TABLES

CSUF does not have comprehensive table requirements, but here are some basics for creating readable, accessible tables. Note: text never wraps around tables or figures—they have their own space. All figures and tables need cues ("see Figure 1,” "as seen in Table X,” etc.) preceding them, but not more than a page or two away. Do not use locational terms like “table below.”

Images of Tables

Images of tables are not permitted. Please use Microsoft Word to create your tables rather than inserting pictures, screenshots, scans, or other images. This ensures all text is maximally readable, editable, and accessible. Tables submitted as images must be revised.

Examples

Table 1 is a simple example. The labels in Column 1 are aligned-left, but all other data is centered within its cell. Each line is its own row in the table: do not use Enter/Return to add rows.

Table 1. A Small TableComment by eliot: Table titles use the style Figures (the spacing is the same for table titles and for figures).

In Table 2 we have a header for the first column (“Heading”) with two subheadings and 10 entries (Items 1-10). All cells are centered vertically, and all except the first column are centered horizontally, too (see Figure 3 for alignment buttons). These items are formatted so that if any are longer than the rest (i.e., Item 8), all lines after the first will be indented .125 in. After one single-spaced line below the table is a footnote, and there are two single-spaced lines after the footnote.

Figure 3. Alignment options for cells in a table. Click your table and then click the label marked “Layout” under “Table Tools.” The left cluster of nine options allow you to choose how your text is aligned.

Note that the numbers in Table 2 are horizontally centered. This is perfectly acceptable, as is aligning all numbers by the decimal point. Either way is equally valid as long as you are consistent throughout your entire paper.

CHAPTER 5FIGURESGeneral Formatting

Spacing for figures is similar to tables, but figures have captions below instead of titles above. Look back at the previous figures or at Figure 4: notice that we always have two blank single-spaced lines between the body text and the figure—just like how table titles start on the third blank line. We also have the same two blank single-spaced lines between the figure caption and the body text.

Figure 4. Dogs write terrible papers. If the caption for this figure was to run onto two lines, we would want to make sure that it is single-spaced with two blank lines afterwards.

Tables and figures should be able to stand alone without any text explanation. All tables and figures need cues (e.g., “See Figure X,” “in Table Y,” etc.) within a page or two preceding the figure.

Captions

Looking at any of the figures in this paper, you will always see that captions start with “Figure” and the number, always italicized, then by a period and the rest of the text. Only the “Figure X” portion of the caption should be italicized. Caption text may be 10 or 12 pt. but must be consistent across the entire paper.

CHAPTER 6NUMBERS AND EQUATIONSNumbers

When referring to numbers in writing, there are a few things to watch out for.

If a number is 10 or over, we write it as the Arabic number (“12,” “46,” “975”.), unless it is the first word in a sentence (“Fifty-two is the number of weeks in a year.”).

Numbers nine and under are written as words (“three,” “two”), but with some exceptions: specific tests/subjects/test components (“test 2,” “week 3,” “subject 8,” “beaker 4”); dates (“5 AD”); measurements/math (“3 cm,” “20 minutes”, “2 + 2 = 4”); chapters in your paper (“Chapter 2”, “Chapter 3”, “Chapter 4”).

Equations

Equations are numbered similarly to figures and tables, but there is no List of Equations in the front matter of the paper. Additionally, equations do not need cues, but we should still avoid words like “below” or “above.” To directly reference an equation, use something like “See Equation X.” Equation 1 represents an example of how we might format our equations.

(1)

Here, we are using Microsoft Word’s Equations feature, but equations may also be inserted as images. If you choose to insert your equations as images, please make sure no text is under 10 pt. font and note that they are still not considered figures.

Equations are double-spaced and indented .5 in on both sides. I have used the right-align feature to add “(1)” to represent that it is Equation 1. More complex equations may run onto multiple lines or may be formatted to take up more vertical space, however, I always discourage you from using spaces to format text. Please use Word’s alignment features and Tab.

APPENDIX AGENERAL APPENDIX GUIDELINES ANDIN-TEXT CITATION EXAMPLES

Start typing or paste your first appendix here. The requirements for formatting are much less strict than in the body but still have a few rules. Margins are the same, and Text within appendices must be between 10-12 pt. font and may be single- or double-spaced. If you have just one appendix, remove the letter “A” following “APPENDIX.” All appendices must have titles.

Appendices presented to human participants (e.g., a survey given to participants) should resemble as closely as possible the original. Because of the limitations of matching two formats, it does not need to be identical, but do your best to limit differences. For handouts and materials that may have contact information, black it out before submitting your final paper.

Table A1. Blank TableComment by eliot: Tables and figures in appendices do not need to be numbered, but if they are, they should be numbered in a way that is unique from the rest of the paper. In other words, we don’t want a “Figure 1” in the body of the paper and a different “Figure 1” in the appendices.

Example In-Text Citations

This appendix will get you started with APA 7 and IEEE in-text citations but is not a substitute for the official manuals. See the references for these citations in References.

APA

There are two kinds of citations in APA: a parenthetical citation (Pooh, 2002) or stating the author(s) is in the sentence, as shown by Pooh (2002). Both are valid, and you may mix and match.

For sources with one author, we will use the last name and year of the reference (Pooh, 2002). You can also instead write the name followed by the year in parentheses, as in Pooh (2002).

For two authors, we use an ampersand (&) when doing a parenthetical citation and the word “and” otherwise. For example, Pooh and Robin (1930) is a perfectly acceptable way to write a citation, or it could be written as a parenthetical (Pooh & Robin, 1930).

Starting in APA 7, for all sources with three or more authors, we write the first author’s last name plus “et al.” every time we cite it. For example: according to Pooh et al. (1993). We do not use a comma between the first author’s last name and “et al.” We could instead do a parenthetical citation, like this (Pooh et al., 1993). If you have multiple “Pooh et al.” citations, consult the APA manual.

If you would like to cite multiple sources in a single sentence, we will list them alphabetically by the first author’s last name, divided by semicolons (Pooh, 2002; Seuss, 1975). All other rules about authors, “et al.,” and punctuation remain the same (Pooh, 2002; Pooh et al., 1993).

IEEE

In general, citations in IEEE will appear at the end of sentences in brackets [1]. You may also choose to insert them after each item in a list [2], a series [3], or a recitation of information [5]-[7]. The citations in this chapter correspond to the example reference entries in References.

We start our numbers at [1] and move up from there. Once a source has been cited and numbered, the same number is used for the rest of the paper. When we have multiple citations, we can list them in separate sets of brackets, separated by a comma or a dash [1], [4], [5]-[6]. Use a comma when citing multiple numbers out of sequence, and a dash when citing multiple numbers in a row [1], [3], [4]-[5], [7].
