1. Title Page:
– The title page includes the title of your paper, your name, and your institutional affiliation.
– The title should be concise and informative, typically no more than 12 words.
– Your name and the institutional affiliation should be centered and double-spaced.
2. Abstract:
– The abstract is a brief summary of your paper, typically around 150 to 250 words.

methodology, results, and conclusions.
– The abstract is placed on a separate page after the title page.
3. Body:
– The body of your paper should be organized into sections such as introduction, methods, results, and
discussion (for empirical studies) or introduction, literature review, methods, results, discussion (for
literature reviews or theoretical papers).
– Use clear and concise language, and maintain a logical flow of ideas throughout the paper.
– Use headings and subheadings to organize the content and guide the reader through your paper.
4. In-text Citations:
– When citing sources within the text, include the author’s last name and the publication year in
parentheses. For example: (Smith, 2019).
– If you are directly quoting a source, include the page number after the publication year, separated by
a comma. For example: (Smith, 2019, p. 25).
– If a work has multiple authors, use “&” when citing within parentheses and “and” when citing in
running text. For example: (Smith & Jones, 2019) or “Smith and Jones (2019) found that…”
5. Reference List:
– The reference list appears at the end of your paper and provides full bibliographic information for all
the sources cited in your paper.
– Entries are arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name.
– Each entry includes the author’s name, publication year, title of the work, and publication
information.
– The format of each entry varies depending on the type of source (e.g., book, journal article, website).
6. Formatting:
– Use 12-point Times New Roman font and double-spacing throughout the paper.
– Set 1-inch margins on all sides.
– Indent the first line of each paragraph using the tab key or by setting a 0.5-inch hanging indent.
– Use a running head (a shortened version of your paper’s title) and page numbers in the header of
each page.
