This document provides guidelines for the logical format and structure of a scientific thesis. It discusses the basic principles of clear, correct, complete, concise, consistent, and common sense scientific writing. It then outlines the typical sections of a thesis, including the cover page, abstract, introduction, literature review, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, references, appendices, tables, and figures. For each section, it provides details on the purpose and recommended content. The document is intended as a reference for students and researchers on how to organize and present their work in a standardized scientific format.
Broadly, a citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source). More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears.
Generally the combination of both the in-body citation and the bibliographic entry constitutes what is commonly thought of as a citation (whereas bibliographic entries by themselves are not).
References to single, machine-readable assertions in electronic scientific articles are known as nano-publications, a form of micro-attribution. Citation has several important purposes: to uphold intellectual honesty (or avoiding plagiarism), to attribute prior or unoriginal work and ideas to the correct sources, to allow the reader to determine independently whether the referenced material supports the author's argument in the claimed way, and to help the reader gauge the strength and validity of the material the author has used.

Main objective of the assessment
To write a report of a piece of research. This involves being able to use the literature in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore, to design/implement a study using suitable and appropriately justified research methods, to present the findings and finally to provide conclusions. You will also have demonstrated that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research were taken into account. All of this encourages you towards becoming an ‘independent’ researcher. Being independent means (amongst other things) being capable of: (a) formulating good questions; (b) developing and presenting well-informed and well-supported arguments; and (c) defending your arguments in open discussion. Learning to deal with complex, open-ended problems and limited, often ambiguous, information is an extremely valuable preparation for future challenges.
Description of the assessment
In this, you will have shown how you have “draw[n] on the literature in the field, analyse[d] and interpret[ed] research evidence of a discipline-specific phenomenon in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore”, that you have “identified a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity, design[ed] and implement[ed] a research investigation/study, use[d] suitable research methods, appropriately justified, and report[ed] efficiently and effectively on the findings, conclusions and (where appropriate) proposals for appropriate action thereof”. You will also have demonstrated “that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research [were] suitably taken into account”. You need to provide evidence that you have understood and met “the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research”. These quotes come from the learning outcomes published in the module block outline.
The Project Report should consist of a carefully-crafted account of your Project. It is important to remember that this Report is the only evidence that the markers are able to use when assessing your work. These guidelines are designed to help you to prepare the best document/Report possible, so that you do full justice to the research you have undertaken. Please read in conjunction with the marking scheme.

I am Dr Md Anisur Rahman Anjum passed MBBS from Dhaka Medical College in 1987. Diploma in Ophthalmology (DO) from the then IPGM&R (now it is Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University BSMMU) in 1993. Felllowship in Ophthalmology FCPS from Bangladesh College of Physician and surgeon in 1997. Now I am working as associate professor in General Ophthalmology in National Institute of Ophthalmology Dhaka Bangladesh which is the tertiary centre in eye care in Bangladesh.
When I was secretary of Bangladesh Academy in 2011-2012. During my tenure I had pulblished four academic journal. The ISSN of the journal is 1818-9423. I have seen that the format of original article was not maintained. though there was "GENERAL INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS" but many of the author did not follow that guideline. From that time I am trying to build up "HOW TO WRITE THE SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPT" among my students, colleague and senior fellows. and do two workshop about this topic.
I am hopeful if any of you write a scientific manuscript according to this format with correct statistics power and language it will be no longer rejected.

The signature page for the defended and approved dissertation will be inserted on this page of the document.
Abstract
An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the entire proposal, typically ranging from 150 to 250 words. The APA manual notes the type of information that should be included in abstracts for different types of studies. In general, the abstract outlines the major headings: the research question, theoretical framework, research design, sampling method, instrumentation, and data and analysis procedures. In a final dissertation, the abstract also outlines key findings and interpretations. A reader should gain a high level understanding of the entire document from its abstract. Do not add any information in the abstract that is not discussed throughout the dissertation. Because it highlights the entire proposal, researchers often write the abstract after the remainder of the document. Writing an abstract is an important skill requiring the ability to be concise. In publications, the abstract is often the first thing potential readers review to determine whether to continue reading your work.

Format for Research Papers California State Universit.docxshericehewat
Format for Research Papers
California State University, Bakersfield
Department of Biology
A scientific research report is a form of
communication in which the investigator
succinctly presents and interprets data collected in
an investigation. Writing such reports is similar to
the writing in other scientific disciplines except
that the format will differ as will the criteria for
grading.
Writing the Report
The questions and hypotheses that initiate
an investigation, the resultant data gathered, and
the background information obtained by reading
the literature will lead to conclusions. Your
research report presents these conclusions and the
appropriate evidence (data and relevant literature).
Before writing the report, construct an
outline that logically presents the information to
support your conclusions. Organize the data into
tables and figures to present the evidence in a
logical order. Many authors prefer to construct a
draft by rapidly putting down ideas with little
regard to sentence structure, and to make
corrections later. Others prefer to make revisions
as they proceed. Write the report with a target
audience of other students with experience in
biology equivalent to that of the class for which
the report is written.
Proper use of English is considered
paramount in grading. Your major responsibility
is to make the reader understand exactly what you
mean by using words with precision, clarity, and
economy. Every sentence should be exact and say
something of importance (no "padding").
Economy and accuracy require using
straightforward English sentences (subject, verb,
and object). Follow a consistent pattern of tenses.
Write in the active voice unless you have good
reason to use the passive voice. The active is the
natural voice, the one in which people commonly
speak and write.
Quotations are to be avoided. All
sentences should be based on your understanding
of source material that you then write as your own
original sentences. When discussing the works of
others, do not include extraneous information,
such as first names or scientific affiliations. In
scientific writing, the major idea of a paragraph (or
sentence) is placed first. Evidence for the idea,
modifications, exceptions, etc., then follow. This
allows readers to quickly skim research reports by
reading the first sentence in each paragraph.
After finishing a draft, review it to see if
the paragraphs and sentences follow a logical
sequence. Examine the arrangement of paragraphs
within a section; some may belong in another
section. Make sure that the transitions from one
idea to another are clear. Study each sentence to
see if it can be clarified, shortened, or omitted.
Rewrite as necessary to achieve clarity. This type
of review and rewriting is best done after not
looking at the manuscript for a few days. Then,

This section provides the necessary support for both the problem statement of your study. Consider the following questions and support your discussion by citing the research literature:
· Why is.
Scientific writing is not just writing about science; it is the technical writing that scientists do to communicate their research to others. Scientific writing is predicated on the rigors of scientific inquiry, so it must reflect the same precision as that demanded in the research process.
Writing a Scientific Report or PaperResults of careful laborsarantatersall
Writing a Scientific Report or Paper
Results of careful laboratory work are not useful unless they can be presented in a clear, concise manner to others for comment and evaluation. Such presentations are usually in the form of a scientific paper published in a reputable scientific journal. Scientific communications have many things in common, which leads to a rather standard style of writing that allow the results and meaning of experimentation to be quickly grasped by the reader. Scientists do not expect to read attractive, stimulating prose to obtain information from technical scientific papers. The experimental design, results and explanation of results are what are attractive and stimulating not the cleverness of the prose. The following discussion should be useful in helping you prepare your laboratory reports, which are scientific reports.
Read it carefully before beginning your reports. Your laboratory instructor may make additional comments. The specific format of a scientific paper varies among journals. However, the format presented below is the most commonly used. It is the format you must use in your scientific writing for this course.
Part I: Format of a Scientific Report
The scientific report will be composed of seven sections. Each section will have a heading immediately followed by the text, figures or graphs. The order of the sections is: title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion and literature cited.
A) Format regulations:
· typed
· double spaced
· 10-12 font, Times New Roman
· 1 inch margins
· pages numbered
· titled sections
· untitled hypothesis
· Quotes are
NOT
allowed. Everything must be properly paraphrased.
· No website references are permitted as sources. No exceptions.
· Everything must be properly cited. It is considered plagiarism if it is not.
· Write in third person, past tense
The overall presentation/grammar/spelling will be evaluated. Although this is not an English class, these elements are important to the proper communication of science. Before you turn in your final version, use the spell check function and reread your report. You should also take the time to visit the Center for Academic Success to participate in the Read, Write, and Cite Workshop series for additional help on writing your reports.
Note: Never write statements like the following: “My lab report is about…”, “My hypothesis is…”,
or any version of this type of statement.

Title
Section
Create a title that briefly conveys to the reader the purpose of the paper. The title of your report must be informative. Many readers scan journal article titles and the decision whether or not to pursue an article is based on the information in the title. Generally, this information includes: primary factor(s) manipulated or studied; outcome of manipulation (the response or effects); and organism studied, if relevant. An example of an informative title would be: "The Effect of Varying Serotonin Conce ...
Homocystinuria is a disorder of methionine metabolism, leading to an abnormal accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites (homocystine, homocysteine-cysteine complex, and others) in blood and urine. Normally, these metabolites are not found in appreciable quantities in blood or urine.
Maple syrup urine disease is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain protein building blocks (amino acids) properly. The condition gets its name from the distinctive sweet odor of affected infants' urine.
Albinism is a genetic condition where people are born without the usual pigment (color) in their bodies. Their bodies aren't able to make a normal amount of melanin, the chemical that is responsible for eye, skin, and hair color. So most people with albinism have very pale skin, hair, and eyes.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism that results in decreased metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. A birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body.
Newborns should be screened for PKU.
Untreated phenylketonuria can lead to brain damage, intellectual disabilities, behavioural symptoms or seizures.
Treatment includes a strict diet with limited protein.
Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the body. Affected individuals lack enough functional levels of an enzyme required to breakdown homogentisic acid. Affected individuals may have dark urine or urine that turns black when exposed to air.
Xanthinuria
Xanthinuria, also known as xanthine oxidase deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder causing the accumulation of xanthine. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme xanthine oxidase.
Orotic aciduria
Orotic aciduria is a disease caused by an enzyme deficiency resulting in a decreased ability to synthesize pyrimidines. It is the only known enzyme deficiency of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway.
Gout
Gout is caused by a condition known as hyperuricemia, where there is too much uric acid in the body.
Tumor markers are substances, such as proteins, biochemicals, hormones or enzymes, produced by tumor cells or by the body in response to tumor cells. As tumor cells multiply, cancer spreads, and tissue is damaged, these substances increase and leak into the bloodstream. Tumor marker levels in blood help physicians evaluate people for certain types of cancer
Free radicals damage contributes to the etiology of many chronic health problems such as cardiovascular and inflammatory disease, cataract, and cancer. Antioxidants prevent free radical induced tissue damage by preventing the formation of radicals, scavenging them, or by promoting their decomposition.
A carcinogenic agents or carcinogen is any substances, chemicals, medical or environmental radiation, some viruses, lifestyle factors, and even some medications that promotes carcinogenesis, the formation of cancer. This may be due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in a body
Causative agents – chemical, toxic compound exposures, ionizing radiation, some pathogens
Most cancer form tumors, but not all tumors are cancerous.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Basic principles in scientific writing
ALL scientific writing should follow the 7 C’s-rule, i.e. scientific writing should be:
1. Clear: Unmistakable, not leading to confusion
2. Correct: Accurate, free from error
a. Not prone to interpretation (explanation)
b. Not prone to speculation (assumption)
3. Complete: Contain all necessary parts and information to be clearly understood
4. Concise: to the point, devoid of redundant information and words (avoid verbosity)
Appendix - 1
5. Conform to the requirements set by the university (thesis)/journal (journal
publication)/employer/… and to the standard conventions and basic principles in:
a. Style: units, rules of abbreviations, literature citations etc.
and
b. Format: shape, size, general make-up of a publication
6. Consistent: uniform throughout the text in spelling, structure, style, format, layout,
typography, etc.
7. Common sense prevails
Format of scientific writing
Thesis
There is no minimum or maximum number of pages for your thesis manuscript, but is also
depends of the College/University etc. Don’t try to fill pages and pages with text and words that
have little to do with your thesis research. Instead, be concise and follow the rule of the 7C’s, as
explained previously.

4. Structure of your thesis
A research paper or thesis is a report of original findings organized into several sections
according to a format that reflects the logic of a scientific argument. First the author states the
purpose of the investigation, placing the work in a broader scientific context (Introduction). Then
the procedure is described (Materials and Methods). Afterwards, the findings are presented
(Results), interpreted (Discussion) and summarized (Conclusion).
Title and abstract
Both the title and the abstract are very important parts of your thesis, since these will be read
most often by many readers. They serve two purposes for your readers:
1. To disclose the basic information of your research
2. To help readers decide whether or not to read the entire paper.
Title
The title should attract attention, but most important, it should be informative and concise. A
good title indicates the main point of your study, so use:
The most precise words possible (e.g. appropriate taxonomic information)
Words that lend themselves to indexing the subject (your title is the first source for key
words for indexing services).
On the other hand, be sure your title will make sense to someone not familiar with your subject.
Provide adequate information, but don’t make your title too long 8-12 words are a good range.
Example of good Vs bad titles

5. Abstract
The abstract gives the reader a clear idea of the subject studied, it helps him to decide whether or
not to read the full thesis/paper and it provides words for indexing.
The abstract is a concise (max. 1 page, condensation of the content of the full report by 95%),
complete report of your work that can stand alone without further explanation.
It should include:
The objectives/hypothesis of the study and justification for conducting the investigation
(What?, When?, Why?)
The basic materials and methods used (How?)
The main results obtained and significant conclusions that can be drawn
The abstract should not include:
A discussion of your results
References
Tabulated data
Any abbreviations, unless they are understood when standing alone (e.g. “DNA”, “pH”,
“USA”)
Keywords
Keywords are usually not required for a thesis, but most journals ask the author of a scientific
article to include research keywords for indexing and possible readers can easily screen the
content of the publication. If you decide to add keywords to your manuscript, put them right
below the abstract (on the same page). Three to five keywords is enough. Keywords are the
most pertinent informative words pertaining to the research done that did not occur in the
abstract.
Introduction
=WHAT?
The introduction sets the stage for your scientific argument. It places the work you have done in
a broad theoretical context and provides the reader with enough information to appreciate and
understand the relevance your objectives. For example, if your thesis work is carried out in the
framework of a larger research project; describe the project and your part in it.
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 5
6. The introduction should
be informative
explain the rationale for the study and your major objectives
clearly identify the subject of your research
state the hypothesis you are investigating or define the problem you are trying to solve
bring the reader up-to-date on what has already been done
provide background information on the research subject
give a concise literature review (unless you have a separate “literature review” section) to
orient the reader by summarizing pertinent literature in your field
be written in the present tense
Literature review
In case of a thesis manuscript, a review of the relevant literature can be done in a separate
section, but, in case of a scientific article, the literature review is generally included in the
introduction. It should be written in the present tense.
The general rule on which tense to use is that you use the past tense when reporting your own
findings (Materials and Methods, Results) and the present tense when discussing the published
work of others (Introduction, Literature review, Discussion).
Materials and methods
= WHERE and HOW?
Your methodology creates the context for evaluating your data. How you took your samples and
did your measurements, what controls you used, what variables you did and did not consider,
which assumptions you made; all these things play an important role in the interpretation of the
results.
This section should
provide information such that your study can be duplicated/repeated by others
Describe procedures and methods used, e.g. sampling strategy/frequency/location/date,
experimental design, tools and sampling devices used, manipulation of the samples,
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 6
7. statistical analysis, complete taxonomic information of the organisms used, data quality
assurance etc.
where appropriate, use flowcharts to visualize the processing methods and handling of
your materials
be organized logically and orderly
be written in the past tense
If you used a well-known method, name it and refer to the paper in which it is described. If you
modified the well-known method, describe how and why you modified it.
Results
=WHAT DID YOU FIND?
This is the most important part of your thesis. The Results section should summarize the data,
emphasizing important patterns or trends, and illustrate and support your generalizations with
explanatory details, statistics, examples of representative or atypical cases and references to
tables and figures. Use the past tense.
Do:
Present your results in a logical and orderly fashion and use the same sequence as in the
Materials and Methods section
Be complete, but concise
Make maximal use of tables and figures.
One good graph can be worth a 1000 words.
Give final and meaningful data only (no raw data), e.g. after statistical processing
Do NOT:
Give the same results twice or more, e.g. in the text, a table and a graph, but chose the
most appropriate way for presentation
Omit data that you consider negative (in the sense that they don’t comply to your
hypothesis)
Give primary (raw, unprocessed) data
Interpret the data or draw major conclusions; this should be done in the Discussion and
Conclusion sections, respectively.
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 7
8. Discussion
=WHAT DO ALL THESE RESULTS MEAN?
The Discussion section should
Relate your results to your hypothesis: do your results prove that your hypothesis is
correct or not, and how/why?
Interpret the results with emphasis on the problem, question or hypothesis you put
forward in the introduction
Relate the data to their causes: i.e. why the data are what they are
Relate your findings to those obtained by other researchers: whether they corroborate
your results or whether they don’t and support this with evidence
Be careful with extrapolating your results too broadly: avoid speculation and generalization
Conclusions
What conclusions can you draw from your findings (these can be enumerated)?
What is their significance with regard to the problem you tried to solve?
State briefly any implications for practical applications or future studies if appropriate
Eventually recommendations (if appropriate)
Many scientific journals do not publish a separate Conclusions section, instead, Discussion and
Conclusions are combined, but for a thesis, keep them separated.
Acknowledgements
Briefly (max 1 -1.5 pages) thank people who helped you professionally, namely with:
Sampling
Reviewing your manuscript
Statistical analysis
Lab work (technicians)
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 8
9. Providing access to specific equipment or facilities, not available in your laboratory (e.g.
use of an oceanographic research vessel)
Funding your research: mention the source of funding (e.g. This research was financed by
a student grant from the National Science Foundation) or mention the project number or
code when applicable
If your work was part of a larger project, mention it as well as the financing or sponsoring
authority.
Only mention people who really contributed to your work.
For the thesis specifically, you should express your gratitude towards the people who guided you
(promoter, co-promoter) and if you want, you can express your appreciation for the support of
your family and friends.
References
Referring in the text
In your manuscript you will refer many times to the published studies of other authors or other
sources of information. You should refer to the original source to acknowledge the source of
all material that is not your own. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year
of publication. When you have multiple references to literature for the same finding in your text,
refer in chronological order, then if there are two publications from the same year, use
alphabetical order. If reference is made in the text to publications written by more than two
authors the name of the first author should be used, followed by “et al.”.
List of references cited
The list of references is an alphabetically ordered list of sources of information you have
referred to, mostly manuscripts, scientific publications, but also websites, computer software,
online databases etc.
All references cited in the text are to be listed at the end of the report. The manuscript
should be carefully checked to ensure that the spellings of authors' names and publication
years are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. Do not type author's and
editor's names in capitals.
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 9
10. The indication “et al.” that is used in the text (see previous section) should never be used
in the list of references. In this list names of authors and all co-authors must be given in
full.
The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names, and
chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-
authors, the following order should be used:(1) publications of the single author,
arranged according to publication year (2) publications of the same author with one co-
author, arranged according to publication year
Appendix/Appendices
The Appendix contains related materials/data that provide additional information but are
not essential for understanding the thesis/report. E.g. tables with raw data, intermediate
statistical results, figures, photos.
Common for a thesis, but scientific articles rarely have an appendix.
Give only appendices if necessary, not to increase the number of pages of your thesis. In
fact, you should not paginate your appendices.
Accessories to the text
Tables
Tables can be used for various kinds of information:
To show precise numerical values
to summarize or emphasize verbal information in compact form
to organize numerical data in an easy and understandable way
A table should be:
clear and easy to read
understandable on its own
orderly and logically organized
in agreement with the rest of the text (i.e. use the same units/symbols etc. as in the text)
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 10
11. Tables consist of 6 major parts
1. Caption above the table with the table number and the title
the title of each table should be unique
without a full stop at the end
2. Column heads
Each column must have a heading, describing the content of the column, followed
by the unit between brackets, if appropriate and first letter capitalized(e.g.
“Temperature (°C)”)
Columns are used to display the dependant variables
To save horizontal space, headings should make use of abbreviations, symbols
and other short forms (that are explained in the footnotes)
3. Spanners to gather common elements of adjacent column heads
If the units of adjacent columns are the same, put these in the spanner
A spanner never covers the stub column
4. Stub
contains the row heads, each starting with a capital letter
often represent the independent variables (e.g. information on experimental
conditions)
5. Fields
Contain the data
Data must be aligned with its column heading
Numbers are aligned on the decimal point (do: 2.19 but don’t do: 2,19) and
numbers in the same column carry the same number of decimals
If the numbers contain ± (e.g. 96.6 ± 1.2), align on the ± sign
Empty cells in the field are indicated with a dash (-) or ND (no data, not
detectable or not determined, then, explain the abbreviation in a footnote)
6. Footnotes
To explain symbols, abbreviations used in the table
Give the source of the data
Use superscript lower case letters to direct the reader to the appropriate footnote.
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 11
12. Major parts of a table (Source: Scientific Style and Format. The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors and
Publishers, 1994. The Council of Biology Editors, 6th Edition, 825 pp.)
Some tips:
3 full width horizontal lines: (1) to separate the caption from the table, (2) to separate the
headings from the fields and (3) to separate the table from the footnotes
The use vertical lines is not recommended
Try to fit a table on 1 page (you can change the page orientation), if it doesn’t work out,
continue on the next page and give as caption: “Table 2. Continued” (without title) and
repeat the column headings
Centre your tables on the page
Tables should be put as closely as possible after being referred to in the text for the first
time
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 12
13. Example 1 (completely fictive data):
Table - Percentage survival of different organisms undergoing different salinity and
temperature treatments

https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 13
14. Figures
Some considerations:
Captions should be put below the figure
Figures should be self-explanatory
Figures should be placed as closely as possible after being referred to in the text for the
first time
Use the same abbreviations as used in the text and the tables
Graphs
Are used to represent data for which trends or proportions are important characteristics.
General considerations:
Make efficient use of colours (e.g. in the effect of UV exposure on the appearance of
mutant cells in three different bacterial populations, the blue line represents the
absorption spectrum of the E-coli and the brown line represents the absorption spectrum
of the S. aureus, green line represents the absorption spectrum of the S. sporogenes.
Be consistent in the font type used in your graphs (preferably the same as the text)
Use the simplest possible form (pies, bars, lines…) and the most appropriate form (e.g. in
figure given below a line graph is chosen to represent continuous data)
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 14
15. Line graphs
To represent trends, continuous data
Limit the number of curves to 3-5 curves and identify the curves clearly with symbols
(eg. ◊, □, ○).
Plot the independent variable on the X-axis and the dependent variable on the Y-axis
Label all axis carefully and show the units of measure
Use ticks and sub ticks to divide the axis so that you don’t overload it with numbers
Use whiskers for showing standard deviations of point measurements (eg. above Error!
Reference source not found.)
Pie charts
Are well suited to represent proportions
Example given in recommended diet given below.
Bar graphs
Can be presented for data collected at even or uneven
intervals
Bars should be wider than the spaces between them
Use whiskers for showing standard deviations of point measurements (eg No of people
like nicest fruits given below.
https://tvuni.academia.edu/mvinayagam Page 15
16. Flowcharts
Are visual aids to understand complex concepts or procedures, experimental set-ups etc.
Photographs
Are used to illustrate the organism under study, the study site, the apparatus used etc

A text with unneeded words and phrases slows the reader, and they should be eliminated. A
phrase such as "it is interesting to note that" adds no information and only delays getting to the
point of the sentence. Expressions such as "It is reported by Smith that. . :' can be shortened, for
example, to "Smith reported that. . .". Many such widely used wordy phrases can be shortened
to simpler forms.
