The Format of writing a Baby Thesis

The format of a baby thesis includes Table of content, introduction, literature review, statistical methods,
finding and analysis, conclusion, and recommendations. Moreover, the scope of the research must be
added to enhance the worth of the baby thesis. Each and every subheading of the thesis holds as much
importance in the baby thesis as it is important in the vast research paper. As already discussed the only
difference between both of them is that baby thesis is the brief and summarized form of the thesis. The
main purpose of the baby thesis is to grab the attention of those readers as well who are avoiding the
lengthy research papers due to lack of time, so it helps in time-saving of the researcher and reader as well.

Formatting of the baby thesis may not be discriminated from the full thesis in order to save time only.
Formatting holds the same level of importance in both of them and it should be according to internationally
accepted standards because baby thesis after publishing must be accessible to researchers as well as
readers from all over the world and proper formatting leaves a long-lasting impression of it and play a very
important role in capturing the interest of the reader.

The Format of writing the baby thesis:

The format of writing the baby thesis must be exactly same to the full and final form of the thesis but it
should be brief and concise than the full thesis. It is actually written to provide a real sketch of the full thesis
with very important and relevant information so that reader can understand the whole research in less time
and less effort but any subtopic must not be excluded. Because excluding any of the subtopic may lessen
the substance of the thesis. Actually, a baby thesis must hold as much value as the whole thesis has
because it is the initial step towards more vast and valuable research.

As already discussed baby thesis holds as much importance as the full thesis so it must be free of
plagiarism like the full form of the thesis. It is one of the most significant points of the thesis writing that it
must be original and genuinely written by the writer. Anything written in the baby thesis must not be copied
from somewhere except properly cited and reference at the end of the thesis. It must acknowledge the
contribution of other research articles and their writer that they have provided grounds for completion of this
baby thesis. It is one of the most necessary requirements of a high-quality baby thesis.

Moreover, introduction and literature review of the baby thesis must be clear and understandable enough
so that each and every point of the research must leave a clear idea of opening of the research and should
clearly state the results of the previous studies as well. It will lead to making the baby thesis more
comprehensible and logical.

Here are some tips to make a proper formatting of the baby thesis which must be followed to
enhance the worth of the thesis:

1: Vague statements should be avoided in writing the thesis. Every statement must be very clear and
specific so that it must be understandable to the reader.

2: Circumvent incorporating the large statements during or at the end of the paragraph. As already
mentioned, the whole thesis should be written in several drafts, likewise to enhance and seize the attention
of the reader all the sentences used in the baby thesis must be understandable. Short sentences with easy
language are another important tip to write a good baby thesis.

3: Avoid using technical words and jargons so that thesis must be easy to read and understand for a
layman. Technical words can only be used in the researches whose topic is purely technical. As baby
thesis is written to give a complete and quick overview of the whole long thesis, so all the words used in it
must be easy and reasonable.

4: State the results of the research very clearly. Avoid confusing results so that reader may remain
confused even after reading the baby thesis. The reader must be able to access all the significant points of
the research after reading the baby thesis and should reach upon straightforward conclusion about the
research.
5: Indistinguishable and abstract words must also be avoided in the baby thesis so that reader should be
able to understand it easily. Avoiding all kind of ambiguities is really necessary to accomplish the main
purpose of writing a baby thesis.

6: Originality and simplicity are the most important and attention seeking quality of the research thesis so
for this purpose a large number of headers and different titles must be avoided. The body of the baby thesis
must be logical but it should be simple so that reader may not lose interest while reading it.

7: Next important thing in the format of the baby thesis is the font in which it is written. Internationally
accepted font for writing the baby thesis is Times New Roman, Geneva, and Helvetica. Most of the
research articles use these fonts, and it is widely acceptable for publishing baby thesis as well.

8: Along with the type of the font, font size also matters in the proper formatting of the baby thesis. “12” font
size is most widely used for writing the body of the baby thesis.

9: Paper size also holds an important place in the proper formatting of a baby thesis. Usually used paper
format is about 8.5*11 inches; nevertheless, it can be somewhat more or less indifferent form of research
articles.

10: Whole body of the baby thesis is always double-spaced. Single spacing is never acceptable in proper
formatting if the baby thesis, it is only adequate for the writing footnotes or bibliographies in the thesis.

11: Margins of the paper should be 1-1/2 inches on the left and remaining all the margins may be 1 inch
including the right, top, and bottom margin.

12: Last but not the least point is that a very well made title page must encase the baby thesis. An
appropriate title page must include the name of the baby thesis, name of the writer along with co-writers (in
case written and prepared by more than one writer), and the name of establishment researcher worked for.

What are the parts of a Baby Thesis?

The Parts of a thesis will depend fundamentally on the discipline to which it belongs (biology, literature,
languages, engineering, etc.), since each of them suggests different conventions. However, in this section,
we will offer a general outline of it.

The content of the thesis consists of the following parts:

 Preliminary body
 Text
 Conclusions
 Bibliography
 Glossary (Optional)

Parts of a Thesis:

Preliminary Body
It refers to the pages that precede the text of the work, consisting of:

Cover
Qualifications
Dedication
Acknowledgments
Table of contents
Index of illustrations and tables
Summary
Cover
It is the first page of the writing, in this place the topic of research is identified; it contains the logo of the
University, the name of the institution that endorses the studies, name of the author, or authors; the title of
the thesis, titration protocol / purpose of certification, the name of the teacher or guide of the research,
place and date.

Qualifications
This page is optional, it is located below the cover, includes all the cover data, except the data of the
titration protocol. On the right side of the margin, the name of the teacher consigns the signature and / or
qualification, expressed in numbers or concepts.

Dedication
Optional page in which the names of persons are mentioned to whom the author of the thesis wants to
devote his/her research, it is recommended to avoid the abuse of appointments, in some cases it is
advisable to add a thought or phrase, which should be brief and moderate in adjectives, avoiding
diminutives.

Acknowledgments
Optional page that is headed by the word: Acknowledgments. Authors of the work mention the people and
institutions that contributed and supported the completion of the research. The acknowledgments are
written formally, not anecdotally.

Table of contents
Refers to the organized list of the parts that make up the thesis in the order in which they appear inside the
work. It includes all such elements as the pages of the preliminary body, the titles of the chapters, parts or
sections, which should not exceed 9 levels and supplementary materials or reference. The organization of
the table of contents should reflect that of the text, even in a spatial sense. It is necessary that the table of
contents be written once the work is finished, so that the different chapters and sub-chapters remain with
the final page.

Index of illustrations and tables

This index is optional but it is necessary to list all the illustrations and pictures with the title and respective
number, verifying the exact match between the illustration and the corresponding page. The list is located
on a new page to continuation of the table of contents.

Summary
The summary determines the relevance of the research and allows the reader to decide if the document is
of interest or not. It must give a clear objective, brief account and summary of the content of the work
without interpretations, value judgments, or criticisms expressed by the author. The constituent elements of
a summary are:

The formulation of the objective of the work.

The description of the method or procedure.
The presentation of the results obtained.
A good summary is brief, concise and informative regarding the content of the thesis. Numerical data may
be included, as long as it contributes to the understanding of the content of the document. If the Academic
Unit estimates it necessary, the extension of summary is one page maximum.

Text:
The text corresponds to the introduction of the thesis and the body of the work.

Introduction:
The introduction is the clear, brief and precise presentation of the content of the thesis, should not include
results or conclusions. It is the first part of the thesis; therefore, you must take special care in the writing
and the orthography.

It is important to consider the following aspects:

 o The reasons that motivated the choice of topic.
o The foundations that support it.
o The objectives of the work.
o The hypothesis presented.
o The methodology used.

Body of the work:

It is constituted by the chapters, sub-chapters, parts or sections that make up the content of the thesis, the
problem of research, the theoretical framework, the methodology, the results of the research the discussion
of the results.

Within the work, the chapter is the part that indicates the general division of the body of work; the
subchapter is the breakdown of the different points of each chapter. It is recommended to follow a logical
order in the titles of the chapters and in that provide consistency to the different parts of the work and
consider the materials that are mentioned in the introduction.

The illustrations and tables allow you to present and interpret the data and results of the thesis. Under the
generic term of tables are grouped tables and other forms of presentation of data, whether statistical,
mathematical or otherwise, which will be written in vertical columns and horizontal rows, in correlative
order.

If the figure is the graphic representation of data and includes graphs, diagrams, maps, drawings,
cartograms, flow charts, etc.

The following rules should be considered:

o Put each illustration in a box.

o Write number on the box, in correlative form according to presentation order.
o Mention each illustration with a title, after the numeration.
o Mention the source of the data in the lower margin of each box in which the illustrations and pictures
are framed.

Conclusions:
It is an important part of the thesis where the author makes judgments about his hypothesis, refutes or
checks based on a synthesis of the results obtained. The conclusions should reflect the scope and
limitations of the study, the recommendations that may be useful to the problem of research, as well as the
consequences and determinations that may contribute to the development of knowledge.

Some of the aspects that are suggested to incorporate are:

o Results obtained.
o Testing / refutation of the hypothesis.
o General conclusion.

Contribution to the field or discipline:

The conclusions must have a clear, concrete and direct wording; they are not a summary of the research.
Bibliography
This section contains the bibliographical references of the documents and texts used as support in the
research. A bibliographic reference is the set of sufficiently detailed elements that allow the identification of
the publications or part of a publication, used in the preparation of a scientific work.

a. Bibliographic citations

It refers to the bibliographical citations that come out of the text. They are located in a correlative number,
at the bottom of the page or at the end of each chapter; bibliographic citations help to differentiate between
the contribution of the researcher and that of other authors who have dealt with the subject.

b. Aspects to consider for ordering the bibliography.

o Authors are capitalized.

o Authors are ordered alphabetically.
o When there are more bibliographical references of the same author, then they will be sort
chronologically by year of publication.
o If there are two or more bibliographic references of the same author published in the same year,
they are sorted alphabetically by title and differentiated with the letters a, b, c, etc. after the year,
example: 1997a., 1997b.
o If the publication does not have a year, write “without year” in the following manner: [s.a.].
o If the year of publication is uncertain, an approximate date is placed between brackets, for example:
[199-]

Each component of a bibliographic reference is separated by point and two spaces.

o Line spacing for an appointment is written in a row and each appointment is separated from the one
that follows by two lines.
o Once the references have been arranged alphabetically and chronologically, numbered in
ascending order. The text allows reference to the works cited, by the number assigned in
parentheses to each of them in the bibliography; optionally you can quote author and year.
o Use the standardized form of the title of the publication in the quotation.

Explanatory notes:

The explanatory notes fulfill the function of informing the reader about the way how the issue is being
addressed. They can be incorporated at the bottom of the page or at the end of each chapter.

Glossary:
The purpose of the glossary is to try to homogenise and rationalize the specific terminology used in the
thesis and that does not correspond to the common language.
