Transcription

1 St. Stephen s College Formatting Instructions for Theses (BTS in Diaconal Ministry) These specifications ensure that St. Stephen s College theses are compatible with standards established by Library and Archives Canada (National Library). Students should use the following as a guide: A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh edition: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing), by Kate L. Turabian, Wayne G. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams. The overall style promulgated by Turabian is the same as The Chicago Manual of Style. While The Chicago Manual of Style is focused on giving style guidelines for publishing in general, Turabian is focused on student papers, dissertations and theses, and is the style used by the MTS, BTS, MTh and DMin Programs at St. Stephen s College. The thesis should incorporate the following: Style: readability (literate, smooth, clear); logical organization; use of inclusive language Single-sided (printed on only one side of paper) Double-spaced with some exceptions. Single spacing may be used for Table of Contents, List of Tables, List of Figures, and Bibliography. If Bibliography is singlespaced, there should be two spaces between individual entries. Quotations should be indented. only one single typeface, with its italic and bold variants, should be used through the entire thesis, including the title page, signature page, Acknowledgements, Bibliography, and Appendices. (Exceptions to this can be made for footnotes, subscripts and superscripts, and for tables, figures or illustrations imported from other sources.) Characters must be dark black, consistently clear, and dense. Broken, uneven, blurred, or light lettering is not acceptable. The type size should be 12 point; preferably Times New Roman produced on a computer using Word or Word Perfect word processing software paper should be good quality white 20 lb. minimum weight Oversized pages: wherever possible, charts, graphs, maps, and tables, which are larger than the standard page size must be photo-reduced in such a way that the material remains clearly legible. It is recommended that such pages be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Prefatory Pages Prefatory pages are those pages before the Introduction or Chapter 1. Each must be a separate page, single-sided. Prefatory pages are not numbered but must appear in the correct order, as shown below: 1. Release form 2. Title page 3. Certification page (done by College) 4. Dedication (optional) 5. Abstract 6. Acknowledgements (optional) 7. Table of Contents The Body of the Thesis All pages of the body of the thesis must be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers (1,2,3, and so on) starting at page one. This includes pages containing tables, figures, illustrations, the Bibliography and Appendices. The page number may be printed either at the top or bottom of the page, and they may either be centered, or in the right hand corner, but they must be placed consistently on all pages. The page numbers should be approximately 1.9cm (3/4 inch) from the paper s edge.

2 Order of Body of Thesis 1. Introduction 2. Chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. 3. Bibliography 4. Appendices Margins Left margin must be 1.5 inches, to allow for binding. Top, bottom and right margins are 1.0. The recommended practice is to compose material as unjustified text, that is, without end of line hyphenation and with ragged right hand margins. Avoid having widow and orphan lines of text (respectively, a paragraph-ending line appearing alone at the top of the page and the single opening line of a paragraph at the bottom of the page). 2009
