Required sections, guidelines, and suggestions.

Beyond those noted on the Formatting Requirements page , the Graduate School has no additional formatting requirements. The following suggestions are based on best practices and historic requirements for dissertations and theses but are not requirements for submission of the thesis or dissertation. The Graduate School recommends that each dissertation or thesis conform to the standards of leading academic journals in your field.

For both master’s and doctoral students, the same basic rules apply; however, differences exist in some limited areas, particularly in producing the abstract and filing the dissertation or thesis.

• Information in this guide that pertains specifically to doctoral candidates and dissertations is clearly marked with the term “ dissertation ” or “ doctoral candidates .”
• Information pertaining specifically to master’s candidates and theses is clearly marked with the term “ thesis ” or “ master’s candidates .”
• All other information pertains to both.

Examples of formatting suggestions for both the dissertation and thesis are available as downloadable templates .

Required? Yes.

Suggested numbering: Page included in overall document, but number not typed on page.

The following format for your title page is suggested, but not required.

• The title should be written using all capital letters, centered within the left and right margins, and spaced about 1.5 inches from the top of the page. (For an example, please see the template .)
• Carefully select words for the title of the dissertation or thesis to represent the subject content as accurately as possible. Words in the title are important access points to researchers who may use keyword searches to identify works in various subject areas.
• Use word substitutes for formulas, symbols, superscripts, Greek letters, etc.
• Below the title, at the vertical and horizontal center of the margins, place the following five lines (all centered):

Line 1: A Dissertation [or Thesis]

Copyright Page

Suggested numbering: Page included in overall document, but number not typed on page

The following format for your copyright page is suggested, but not required.

• A notice of copyright should appear as the sole item on the page centered vertically and horizontally within the margins: © 20__ [Primary or Preferred Name [as registered with the University Registrar’s Office]. Please note that there is not usually a page heading on the copyright page.
• The copyright symbol is a lowercase “c,” which must be circled. (On Macs, the symbol is typed by pressing the “option” and “g” keys simultaneously. If the font does not have the © symbol, type the “c” and circle it by hand. On PCs, in the insert menu, choose “symbol,” and select the © symbol.)
• The date, which follows the copyright symbol, is the year of conferral of your degree.
• Your name follows the date.

Required?  Yes.

Suggested numbering: Page(s) not counted, not numbered

Abstract formats for the doctoral dissertation and master’s thesis differ greatly. The Graduate School recommends that you conform to the standards of leading academic journals in your field.

Doctoral candidates:

• TITLE OF DISSERTATION
• Student’s Primary or Preferred Name, Ph.D. [as registered with the University Registrar’s Office]

• Following the heading lines, begin the text of the abstract on the same page.
• The abstract states the problem, describes the methods and procedures used, and gives the main results or conclusions of the research.
• The abstract usually does not exceed 350 words in length (about one-and-one-half correctly spaced pages—but not more than two pages).

Master’s candidate:

• In a thesis, the page heading is simply the word “ABSTRACT” in all capital letters and centered within the margins at the top of the page. (The thesis abstract does not display the thesis title, author’s name, degree, university, or date of degree conferral.)
• The abstract should state the problem, describe the methods and procedures used, and give the main results or conclusions.
• The abstract usually does not exceed 600 words in length, which is approximately two-and-one-half to three pages of correctly spaced typing.
• In M.F.A. theses, an abstract is not required.

Biographical Sketch

Suggested numbering: iii (may be more than one page)

• Type number(s) on page(s).

The following content and format are suggested:

• The biographical sketch is written in third-person voice and contains your educational background. Sometimes additional biographical facts are included.
• As a page heading, use “BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH” in all capital letters, centered on the page.
• Number this page as iii.

Required? Optional.

Suggested numbering: iv (may be more than one page)

The dedication page is not required and can contain whatever text that you would like to include. Text on this page does not need to be in English.

Acknowledgements

Suggested numbering: v (may be more than one page)

The following content and format are suggested, not required.

• The acknowledgements may be written in first-person voice. If your research has been funded by outside grants, you should check with the principal investigator of the grant regarding proper acknowledgement of the funding source. Most outside funding sources require some statement of acknowledgement of the support; some also require a disclaimer from responsibility for the results.
• As a page heading, use “ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS” in all capital letters, centered on the page.

Table of Contents

Suggested numbering: vi (may be more than one page)

The following are suggestions.

• As a page heading, use “TABLE OF CONTENTS” in all capital letters and centered on the page.
• List the sections/chapters of the body of the dissertation or thesis. Also, list preliminary sections starting with the biographical sketch. (Title page, copyright page, and abstract are not listed.)
• For theses and dissertations, the conventional format for page numbers is in a column to the right of each section/chapter title. The first page of each chapter/section is stated with a single number. Table of contents usually do not include a range of page numbers, such as 7-22.
• The table of contents is often single-spaced.

Two-Volume Theses or Dissertations

If the dissertation or thesis consists of two volumes, it is recommended, but not required, that you list “Volume II” as a section in the table of contents.

List of Figures, Illustrations, and Tables

Suggested numbering: vii (may be more than one page)

• If included, type number(s) on page(s).

As described in the formatting requirements above, figures and tables should be consecutively numbered. The Graduate School recommends that you conform to the styles set by the leading academic journals in your field. The items below are formatting suggestions based on best practices or historic precedents.

Table of contents format:

• As a page heading, use “LIST OF FIGURES,” “LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS,” or “LIST OF TABLES” in all capital letters, centered on the page.
• There should be separate pages for “LIST OF FIGURES,” “LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS,” or “LIST OF TABLES” even if there is only one example of each.
• The list should contain enough of the titles or descriptions so readers can locate items using the list. (It may not be necessary to include entire figure/illustration/table captions.)
• The list should contain the page number on which each figure, illustration, or table is found, as in a table of contents.
• The list of figures/illustrations/tables may be single-spaced.

Page format:

• Figures/illustrations/tables should be placed as close as possible to their first mention in the text. They may be placed on a page with no text above or below, or placed directly into the text. If a figure/illustration/table is placed directly into the text, text may appear above or below the figure/illustration/table; no text may wrap around the figure/illustration/table.
• If a figure/illustration/table appears on a page without other text, it should be centered vertically within the page margins. Figures/illustrations/tables should not be placed at the end of the chapter or at the end of the dissertation or thesis.
• Figure/illustration/table numbering should be either continuous throughout the dissertation or thesis, or by chapter (e.g. 1.1, 1.2; 2.1, 2.2, etc.). The word “Figure,” “Illustration,” or “Table” must be spelled out (not abbreviated), and the first letter must be capitalized.
• A caption for a figure/illustration should be placed at the bottom of the figure/illustration. However, a caption for a table must be placed above the table.
• If the figure/illustration/table, not including the caption, takes up the entire page, the figure/illustration/table caption should be placed alone on the preceding page and centered vertically and horizontally within the margins. (When the caption is on a separate page, the List of Figures or List of Illustrations or List of Tables can list the page number containing the caption.)
• If the figure/illustration/table, not including the caption, takes up more than two pages, it should be preceded by a page consisting of the caption only. The first page of the figure/illustration/table must include the figure/illustration/table (no caption), and the second and subsequent pages must also include, at the top of the figure/illustration/table, words that indicate its continuance—for example, “Figure 5 (Continued)”—and on these pages the caption is omitted.
• If figures/illustrations/tables are too large, they may be reduced slightly so as to render a satisfactory product or they must either be split into several pages or be redone. If a figure/illustration/table is reduced, all lettering must be clear, readable, and large enough to be legible. All lettering, including subscripts, must still be readable when reduced 25% beyond the final version. All page margin requirements must be maintained. Page numbers and headings must not be reduced.
• While there are no specific rules for the typographic format of figure/illustration/table captions, a consistent format should be used throughout the dissertation or thesis.
• The caption of a figure/illustration/table should be single-spaced, but then captions for all figures/illustrations/tables must be single-spaced.
• Horizontal figures/illustrations/tables should be positioned correctly—i.e., the top of the figure/illustration/table will be at the left margin of the vertical page of the dissertation or thesis (remember: pages are bound on the left margin). Figure/illustration/table headings/captions are placed with the same orientation as the figure/illustration/table when they are on the same page as the figure/illustration/table. When they are on a separate page, headings and captions are always placed in vertical orientation, regardless of the orientation of the figure/illustration/table. Page numbers are always placed as if the figure/illustration/table was vertical on the page.

Photographs should be treated as illustrations. To be considered archival, photographs must be black-and-white. (If actual color photographs are necessary, they should be accompanied by black-and-white photographs of the same subject.) Color photos obtained digitally do not need to be accompanied by a black-and-white photograph. Make a high-resolution digital version of each photograph and insert it into your electronic document, following the guideline suggestions for positioning and margins.

Optional Elements

List of abbreviations.

As a page heading, use “LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS” in all capital letters, centered on the page.

List of Symbols

As a page heading, use “LIST OF SYMBOLS” in all capital letters, centered on the page.

Suggested numbering: xi (may be more than one page)

As a page heading, use “PREFACE” in all capital letters, centered on the page.

Body of the Dissertation or Thesis: Text

Suggested numbering: Begin page number at 1

• Text (required)
• Appendix/Appendices (optional)
• Bibliography, References, or Works Cited (required)

Please note that smaller font size may be appropriate for footnotes or other material outside of the main text. The following suggestions are based on best practice or historic precedent, but are not required.

• Chapter headings may be included that conform to the standard of your academic field.
• Textual notes that provide supplementary information, opinions, explanations, or suggestions that are not part of the text must appear at the bottom of the page as footnotes. Lengthy footnotes may be continued on the next page. Placement of footnotes at the bottom of the page ensures they will appear as close as possible to the referenced passage.

Appendix (or Appendices)

An appendix (-ces) is not required for your thesis or dissertation. If you choose to include one, the following suggestions are based on best practice or historic precedent.

• As a page heading, use “APPENDIX” in all capital letters, centered on the page.
• Place in an appendix any material that is peripheral, but relevant, to the main text of the dissertation or thesis. Examples could include survey instruments, additional data, computer printouts, details of a procedure or analysis, a relevant paper that you wrote, etc.
• The appendix may include text that does not meet the general font and spacing requirements of the other sections of the dissertation or thesis.

Bibliography (or References or Works Cited)

A bibliography, references, or works cited is required for your thesis or dissertation. Please conform to the standards of leading academic journals in your field.

• As a page heading, use “BIBLIOGRAPHY” (or “REFERENCES” or “WORKS CITED”) in all capital letters, centered on the page. The bibliography should always begin on a new page.
• Bibliographies may be single-spaced within each entry but should include 24 points of space between entries.

Suggested numbering: Continue page numbering from body

If you choose to include a glossary, best practices and historic precedent suggest using a page heading, use “GLOSSARY” in all capital letters, centered on the page.

 The development or preparation of the Thesis Protocol by the candidate will help her/him in understanding the ongoing activities in the proposed area of research. Further it helps in creating practical exposure to research and hence it bridges the connectivity between clinical practice and biomedical research. Such research exposure will be helpful in improving problem solving capacity, getting updated with ongoing research and implementing these findings in clinical practice.

 Research Ethics: Ethical conduct during the conduct and publication of research is an essential requirement for all candidates and guides, with the primary responsibility of ensuring such conduct being on the thesis guide. Issues like Plagiarism, not maintaining the confidentiality of data, or any other distortion of the research process will be viewed seriously.

How to Write a Thesis Statement | 4 Steps & Examples

Published on January 11, 2019 by Shona McCombes . Revised on August 15, 2023 by Eoghan Ryan.

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . It usually comes near the end of your introduction .

Your thesis will look a bit different depending on the type of essay you’re writing. But the thesis statement should always clearly state the main idea you want to get across. Everything else in your essay should relate back to this idea.

You can write your thesis statement by following four simple steps:

• Start with a question
• Write your initial answer
• Develop your answer
• Refine your thesis statement

What is a thesis statement, placement of the thesis statement, step 1: start with a question, step 2: write your initial answer, step 3: develop your answer, step 4: refine your thesis statement, types of thesis statements, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about thesis statements.

A thesis statement summarizes the central points of your essay. It is a signpost telling the reader what the essay will argue and why.

The best thesis statements are:

• Concise: A good thesis statement is short and sweet—don’t use more words than necessary. State your point clearly and directly in one or two sentences.
• Contentious: Your thesis shouldn’t be a simple statement of fact that everyone already knows. A good thesis statement is a claim that requires further evidence or analysis to back it up.
• Coherent: Everything mentioned in your thesis statement must be supported and explained in the rest of your paper.

Professional editors proofread and edit your paper by focusing on:

• Academic style
• Vague sentences
• Style consistency

See an example

The thesis statement generally appears at the end of your essay introduction or research paper introduction .

The spread of the internet has had a world-changing effect, not least on the world of education. The use of the internet in academic contexts and among young people more generally is hotly debated. For many who did not grow up with this technology, its effects seem alarming and potentially harmful. This concern, while understandable, is misguided. The negatives of internet use are outweighed by its many benefits for education: the internet facilitates easier access to information, exposure to different perspectives, and a flexible learning environment for both students and teachers.

You should come up with an initial thesis, sometimes called a working thesis , early in the writing process . As soon as you’ve decided on your essay topic , you need to work out what you want to say about it—a clear thesis will give your essay direction and structure.

You might already have a question in your assignment, but if not, try to come up with your own. What would you like to find out or decide about your topic?

For example, you might ask:

After some initial research, you can formulate a tentative answer to this question. At this stage it can be simple, and it should guide the research process and writing process .

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

Now you need to consider why this is your answer and how you will convince your reader to agree with you. As you read more about your topic and begin writing, your answer should get more detailed.

In your essay about the internet and education, the thesis states your position and sketches out the key arguments you’ll use to support it.

The negatives of internet use are outweighed by its many benefits for education because it facilitates easier access to information.

In your essay about braille, the thesis statement summarizes the key historical development that you’ll explain.

The invention of braille in the 19th century transformed the lives of blind people, allowing them to participate more actively in public life.

A strong thesis statement should tell the reader:

• Why you hold this position
• What they’ll learn from your essay
• The key points of your argument or narrative

The final thesis statement doesn’t just state your position, but summarizes your overall argument or the entire topic you’re going to explain. To strengthen a weak thesis statement, it can help to consider the broader context of your topic.

These examples are more specific and show that you’ll explore your topic in depth.

Your thesis statement should match the goals of your essay, which vary depending on the type of essay you’re writing:

• In an argumentative essay , your thesis statement should take a strong position. Your aim in the essay is to convince your reader of this thesis based on evidence and logical reasoning.
• In an expository essay , you’ll aim to explain the facts of a topic or process. Your thesis statement doesn’t have to include a strong opinion in this case, but it should clearly state the central point you want to make, and mention the key elements you’ll explain.

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . Everything else you write should relate to this key idea.

The thesis statement is essential in any academic essay or research paper for two main reasons:

• It gives your writing direction and focus.
• It gives the reader a concise summary of your main point.

Without a clear thesis statement, an essay can end up rambling and unfocused, leaving your reader unsure of exactly what you want to say.

Follow these four steps to come up with a thesis statement :

• Ask a question about your topic .
• Write your initial answer.
• Develop your answer by including reasons.
• Refine your answer, adding more detail and nuance.

The thesis statement should be placed at the end of your essay introduction .

Liam Hendriks opens up about another comeback, signing with Red Sox, 'bulls---' of MLB free agency and more

The 13-year mlb veteran is working his way back from tommy john and he's ready for whatever's next.

The Boston Red Sox have concluded a season-opening, 10-game road trip ahead of their home opener at Fenway Park on April 9. The team most people picked to finish last in the AL East returns home 7-3, despite losing Trevor Story to injury . Most would call that a success.

It doesn't shock new Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks . 

"The Red Sox tend to play above their weight when it comes to what you see on paper compared to what they do on the field," Hendriks told CBS Sports before Opening Day. "I'm hoping that we surprise a lot of people." 

Hendriks, 35, won't be joining the team on the field for a bit. He's still rehabbing after undergoing Tommy John surgery last August, though he says he's ahead of schedule. And he's itching to get back.

"It's going well," the reliever said of his rehab process. "It's monotonous on end, obviously I'd like things to move a little quicker but we're progressing pretty well. We're moving back to 90 feet [throwing]. I'm recovering really well, so the trainers are happy about that.

"My target date is August, so just after the trade deadline. That'll be right around 12 months from surgery. Normally it's a little longer, regardless of position, just because they want to build up a throwing program slower but my goal is to contribute this year and go into a normal offseason next year. Who knows? You never know with baseball how it's gonna go." 

This is the first major surgery of Hendriks' career, though he missed the beginning of the 2023 season while he finished treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He returned to the mound in late May and appeared in just five games before the elbow injury cost him the rest of the season and a bulk of 2024. 

"I've battled through some things in the last couple years so now it's going out there and proving to everybody else that, you know what, I did it before cancer, I did it before TJ and I'm gonna do it afterwards again as well," he said.

Despite the cancer battle and now major reconstructive surgery, Hendriks has no plans to retire any time soon. 

"My goal is to get into my 40s and after that kind of play it by ear," he told CBS Sports. "I still walk around the clubhouse like 'this guy's been around forever, this guy's been around forever' and now I'm like 'oh shit, I'm older than them and I've been around longer than them.'

"You've got guys that are continually doing it, you've got David Robertson , we've got Chris Martin who is up there as well and it's just seeing guys go out there on a day-to-day basis and do the right things, they love the game. Obviously you want to start thinking about post-career stuff when you get up there in age, but in my mind it's like, 'I've got a brand new elbow for the first time and this other one lasted 14, 15 years, so who knows how much longer I got after that." 

Hendriks has already pitched in parts of 13 seasons. He's seen time with the Twins , Blue Jays , Royals , A's and White Sox . He's a three-time All-Star and has finished in the top 10 of Cy Young voting twice. He even got MVP votes in 2020. He's won the Mariano Rivera Reliever of the Year Award twice. He led his league in saves in 2021. 

He still has individual goals, though. 

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't," Hendriks said. "My goal is always as a reliever to get into 81 games. That would be one I'd really like to do, get into half the games for a season. This is the age of analytics, who knows, but I'd like to do that. I'd like to cross the 100-strikeout threshold again, which I've been lucky enough to do a couple times." 

Hendriks struck out 124 in 85 innings in 2019 and 113 in 71 innings in 2021. His career high in games in a season is 75. But like he said, with a new elbow, who knows?

As far as team-level success goes, Hendriks has played on some winners. He was with the Blue Jays during their 2015 run to the ALCS and then appeared in the 2018 and 2019 Wild Card Games with the A's. He closed in the 2020 playoffs for the A's, advancing one round, and in the 2021 playoffs for the White Sox, though they lost the ALDS 3-1. He was also a member of the 2014 Royals, who won the AL pennant, but he was designated for assignment during the World Series. 

Being a major contributor to a team that wins it all is still something that drives him, too, especially now that he's getting up there in age.

"You feel like maybe you're running out time (to get to the World Series), but you have to be a little more strategic with certain choices, organizations and stuff like that," he said. "I look at it more from a team point of view, like, do I enjoy the season? Winning goes hand-in-hand with having a good time. You also want to be around a group of high-quality people, good personalities and all that sorta stuff.

"The end-all goal is to get a ring and to contribute with a team that gets a ring." 

If he has his way, he'll still have several more years with a chance to do just that. 

'Bullshit' in free agency

This past offseason in Major League Baseball saw a $700 million deal to Shohei Ohtani and a $325 million deal to Yoshinobu Yamamoto . Both of those came from the Dodgers . The rest of the top-end free agents seemed to take deals for far less money than they were seeking and a handful of high-profile players were still unsigned heading into spring training. Hendriks agreed to his Red Sox deal, two years and a guaranteed $10 million, in mid-February.

"(Free agency) was slower than normal," he told CBS Sports. "Some of the bigger signings, the Shoheis, the Yamamotos, kind of depressed the market, a certain tier of guys, but other than that, it was -- I know they are always looking for a way to pay guys less. It's like, you're always looking for a deal, you're always looking for a bargain. Players are always looking for more than anyone expects and that's just how it goes.

"Any offseason it's always something. It could be the littlest thing like when I was with the White Sox it was 'oh, we're recovering from the COVID pandemic, so we just don't have any money coming in.' We all know that was somewhat true but also bullshit at the same time. Some teams are willing to pay. It's just others are looking for an excuse to scare guys into taking less than they're worth and that's all it is."

That said, Hendriks did acknowledge that most negotiations are kept private, allowing narratives to spin publicly without much evidence.

"I don't know what those guys are asking for, I don't know what the teams were offering. It could've been one little bit away and neither side was willing to budge," he told CBS Sports.

"For the next CBA, there are certain points that we as a union need to bring up, there are certain points we need to focus on. We did a good job in certain areas: we got the younger guys paid earlier, we got the little service-time manipulation things thrown out because it was where a lot of the younger guys were getting screwed." 

Hendriks didn't sign with the Red Sox until almost a week after pitchers and catchers reported, but he knew his venture into free agency wasn't typical due to his Tommy John surgery. 

"I had a bunch of calls but no movement for a long time, but I was injured so my experience is a little different than the average offseason," he said. "I put a hard deadline on mine which I was able to do because I'm hurt. My deadline was pretty much the only reason I ended up signing. I was like I'm comfortable rehabbing myself, I would like to be with the team, but I'm also comfortable doing it myself and luckily enough the Red Sox came around."

The pitch clock and a proposed rule change

The pitch clock was implemented for the 2023 season and while many fans loved it, there were naysayers. Some of those critics were current or former pitchers, to the point that many have pointed to pitcher injuries with the thesis that the pitch clock causes more. The MLBPA, in fact, did so just this weekend as injuries to top pitchers like Spencer Strider and Shane Bieber piled up .

Hendriks doesn't blame his injury on the pitch clock.

"My elbow was already gone and I have no issue with the clock because I work pretty quick anyway," he said. "It didn't really affect me too much."

He does have a request though: "OK, the batter can call time, why can't the pitcher? That would be my adjustment to that. Equal is equal, they get a timeout, I get a timeout. Sometimes I've thrown a pitch and I'm hanging a little bit, so it's like, gimme a little bit of a breather. That's really my only gripe with the pitch clock." 

The pitch clock was successful in its true goal of picking up the pace, Hendriks said. But there has to be a balance.

"I was neither here nor there on the pitch clock but if you look at it from the point of view that it got games below three hours and a young crowd being able to come to games -- players adapt. We might bitch and complain and not be on board with some of the rule changes but at the end of the day we're still gonna go out there and do it no matter what," he told CBS Sports. "Now, I think you gotta somewhat rethink the benefits as far as the pitch clock goes, as far as all the arm injuries this spring training and the lack of recovery time between pitches and I think there just needs to be a little more leeway as far as recovery time.

"Like, I get it there needs to be a speed up to the game, guys went out there and take one minute, two minutes, and it was just like this at-bat is dragging on for absolute ever and we've got to get through. So I think the pitch clock has helped a lot, but I'm a pitcher and I'm a little biased and they keep giving hitters the opportunities to get all the positive attributes to any rule changes with the bigger bases and the sliding plays and nothing is done for defense." 

The state of Major League Baseball

"As far as the overall game goes, we're moving in the right direction," Hendriks said. "We're a younger crowd where the league is getting out the personalities of guys, which is huge because for a long time it was always 'well, I'm a Yankees fan,' 'I'm a Red Sox fan,' 'I'm a so-and-so fan.' Now they're starting to get into 'I'm a Shohei [Ohtani] fan,' 'I'm a Mike Trout fan,' 'I'm a Rafael Devers fan,' and it's getting to a little bit more of that player-centric thing which, you're able to show off your personalities, you're able to do that and it builds a stronger network as far as the league goes."
