2) TEXT PAGES (numbering restarts HERE using Arabic numerals: 1,2,3,… in the upper right corner of the page) a. Headings Theses need to be carefully organized to reflect a logical development of the research project. Many, but not all, theses and dissertations are organized in five rather distinct chapters, although a structured organization can without the use of the specific heading "CHAPTER" and some research work may require a completely different structure. Often (but not required), the major sections of the work are: INTRODUCTION, LITERATURE REVIEW, METHODS AND MATERIALS, RESULTS, and DISCUSSION Also, each Chapter or major section might well be subdivided by second, third, and occasionally fourth and fifth level headings to emphasize specific aspects of the research. Chapters or major sections should each begin on a new page. b. Spacing and Indentation of text, series, and block quotations The text is double-spaced and a new paragraph begins five spaces from the left margin. Use only left-only justified margins. A numbered, lettered, or bulleted series is indented from the left margin or both the left and right margins. Block quotations are also indented from both the left and right margins. In addition, block quotations are c. Footnotes and Endnotes The format and style of documentation of sources varies from discipline to discipline. The format/style to be used may also be one that is required by the journal, monograph, book or other type of publication to which you intend to submit your dissertation/thesis for publication or is the standard for the field. Use the chosen format consistently throughout the thesis/dissertation. Please note that even if references are inserted as endnotes, they still must be included in the bibliography at the end of the work. Students should consult with the Committee Chair/Advisor to identify a style appropriate to be used consistently throughout the manuscript. 3). SUPPLEMENTAL (Arabic page numbering continues from the main text pages in the upper right corner of the page.) a. Appendix or Appendices Some students will not need to include this section. It is usually added to contain supplementary illustrative materials, research or survey instruments, original data,
