Term Paper Format

Format to be followed

Outline (or table of content, list of tables and figures)
Introduction
Main Body text
Conclusion
References


In introduction, first introduce the subject in general emphasizing its importance and then provide aim and scope on your own words!

Follow a logical order while writing the main body. Make sure that it is easy to follow, as clear and informative as possible.

Be confined to about 5000 words, excluding figures and tables. Try to flourish your text with figures and tables that would make your text easier to follow and to understand by the readers.

Use sources that can be addressed scientifically. Refer to the scientific articles for the way the references are addressed in the reference list and cited within the text.

Cite each reference used within the text. Put in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word from any source and provide a citation. Direct copying from any source without citing its reference is plagiarism and strictly forbidden. Provide a source to tables, figures etc.

Provide conclusion on your own words.
