The text of the thesis/dissertation is divided into chapters with each chapter dealing with
a specific aspect of the subject. The plan for dividing the thesis/dissertation into major
topics varies with the subject and the approach in presenting it
The bibliography lists down the written references and interviews (if any) used in the
study. There are various ways of presenting bibliographies. In general, these are
presented by broad categories including: books, articles from journals, magazines,
bulletins, pamphlets, and newspapers, official documents, and websites.
Usually included as appendices are: description of sampling techniques used (if any),
research instruments (if any), detailed statistical tables, copies of forms or letters,
discussions of technical problem, texts of laws, circulars, and memoranda, and such
other information that are either too detailed or could not otherwise be fitted into the
discussions in the text.
PAGINATION
The title page is assigned number (Roman numeral lower case) but the number does
i
not appear on the page.

The blank page are not assigned any number.
Letter of endorsement is assigned page(s) ii, etc.
Text of thesis/dissertation, appendices, and bibliography are assigned Arabic

numbers with the first page of Chapter as page 1. Succeeding pages are numbered
I
consecutively up to the appendices.
MARGIN
The space allotted for typing is circumscribed by the four margins. The recommended
top, bottom, and left side margins are 11/: inches from the respective edges of the page;
the marginal space at the right is one inch from the right edge of the page.
INDENTATION
indent the first line of each paragraph.

'
Quotations of five (5) lines or more are written ten (10) spaces flush to the right from the
left-hand margin in single space and without quotation marks. Quotations of less than
five (5) lines are run in the text without indentation but are enclosed in quotation marks.
SPACING
In general, use double-spacing throughout except in the following cases:
Three spaces separate paragraph and main topic titles (or headings) from subtopics (or
sub—headings) or paragraphs.
Single spacing is used in quotations of five or more lines. The reproduction of research
instruments, laws, circulars, etc. as appendices should follow the format of the original
copies wherever possible. Single spaces would therefore be used in appropriate cases.
NOTE that for long quotations of two or more paragraphs (or parts of such paragraphs),
the paragraphs are separated by two spaces. (See section of quotations below for
additional rules.)
Footnotes are single spaced; however, two spaces separate notes on the same page.
(See section on footnotes below for additional rules.)
Title or headings of tables and illustrations, if written in two lines, are single spaced.
QUOTATIONS
Single marks enclose quotations within quotations of not more than five lines. Double
marks enclose quotations within quotations of more than five lines and which, therefore,
are written single-spaced as explained in the preceding section.
Quotations of more than five lines are flushed to the right, ten spaces from the left-
hand margin regardless of whether the quoted first lime is indented (as in the case
of the beginning of a paragraph) or not in the original.
Three spaced periods are used in place of words omitted within a quotation. A whole
line of spaced periods is used to take the place of one or more paragraphs omitted.
Four spaced periods take the place of an omission at the end of a sentence.
Some of the foregoing rules are illustrated below.
in one his works, Abraham Zaleznik advises that “just as the physician
must take into account . . . the ‘healing forces of nature,‘ so the administrator
must take into account . . . the tendency in work groups for organization,
stability, and survival,”1 Zaleznik’s hypothesis regarding the development of a
social structure in a work situation suggests that
the first problem for administration is to establish the conditions which

are most favorable for allowing a group to work out or itself the structure
which will satisfy needs for group membership.
1A. Zaleznik, Worker Satisfaction and Development, Boston, Harvard

University Graduate School of Business Administration, 1956, p. 132.
The conditions include, first, a technological setting which allows a certain
amount of worker interaction, mutual helping on the job, and even preferably
setting which builds “teamwork" into the job.
There is a significant opportunity open for experimentation on the part of

industrial concerns in the area of technical work organization... It would be
fruitful, for example, to determine the effects of a work plan which increase the
possibility of worker interactions as compared with a plan based solely on
technical requirements of the job . . . .2
2m. p. 133
FOOTNOTES
Footnote must be placed at the end of the page of the material to which it refers. The
corresponding number and citation(s) are placed at the bottom of the page as
exemplified in the preceding section. Two or more citations for the same statement are
separated by semi-colons in the same footnote. Footnotes are numbered consecutively
throughout each chapter. It is recommended that each chapter has a new series of
footnote numbers.
Footnotes are single spaced. If a footnote cannot be accommodated in one page, it may
be continued on the next page. Formatting of footnotes are generally built—in in most
word processing softwares.
FIGURES
Tables and figures should be placed as near as possible to the text to which they refer.
The words “table” and “figure” (for illustrations) are written with initial caps only. They
are followed by the number of the table or illustration and then the title. Numbering of
tables and figures may consist of two parts, eg. 2.1. or 5.11, where the first number
refers to the chapter number and the second number refers to the sequencing of the
tables or figures within the chapter.
NUMBERS IN THE TEXT
As a rule, numbers under one hundred are spelled out. Exceptions:
When a number, whether one hundred and over or not, starts a sentence, it is always
spelled out.
Arabic numerals are used for page numbers, dates, amounts of money (in any
currency), and per cent.
if the largest number in a series of numbers in one sentence contains three or more
numerals, use figures for all. Example:
In hisstudy, he found out that 6 families in Northern Luzon, 12 in Central
Luzon, and 123 in Visayas, have assets of more than P2,000.00.
DIVISION OF CHAPTERS
Main headings are written with the section number and titles. Numbering for main
headings in a chapter may consist of two parts, e.g., 2.1 or 5.11, where the first digit
refers to the chapter and the second number refers to the sequencing of the main
sections of the chapter. Main headings may be written in bold.
Subheadings are likewise written with the section numbers and titles. To distinguish
main headings and subheadings, the numbering may proceed to a 3—part number, eg.
2.1.1 or 5.11.1, where the added third digit “1" refers to subsection no. 1 within the main
sections 2.1 and 5.11.

INTRODUCTION
in general, use double-spacing throughout except in the following cases:
Single spacing is used in quotations of five or more lines. The reproduction
of research instruments, laws, Circulars, etc. as appendices should follow the
format of the original copies wherever possible. Single spaces would therefore
be used in appropriate cases. NOTE that for long quotations of two or more
paragraphs (or parts of such paragraphs), the paragraphs are separated by two
spaces. (See section of quotations below for additional rules.)
Footnotes are single spaced; however, two spaces separate notes on the
same page. (See section on footnotes below for additional rules.)

Title or heading of tables and illustrations, if written in two lines, are single

QUOTATIONS
Single marks enclose quotations within quotations of not more than five lines. Double
marks enclose quotations within quotations of more than five lines and which, therefore,
are written single-spaced as explained in the preceding section.
Quotations of more than five lines are flushed to the right, ten spaces from the left—
hand margin regardless of whether the quoted first lime is indented (as in the case
of the beginning of a paragraph) or not in the original.
Three spaced periods are used in place of words omitted within a quotation. A whole
line of spaced periods is used to take the place of one or more paragraphs omitted.
Four spaced periods take the place of an omission at the end of a sentence.
Some of the foregoing rules are illustrated below.
In one his works, Abraham Zaleznik advises that “just as the physician
must take into account . . . the ‘healing forces of nature,’ so the administrator
must take into account . . . the tendency in work groups for organization,
stability, and survival,"1 Zaleznik’s hypothesis regarding the development of a
social structure in a work situation suggests that
the first problem for administration is to establish the conditions which

are most favorable for allowing a group to work out or itself the structure
which will satisfy needs for group membership.
