Abstract is a summary of
your paper. When read
alone, the abstract’s purpose
is to make the reader go on
and read the entire text.
However, if one is unable to
read the entire text, the
reader should be able to get
the gist of the paper through
the abstract.
The abstract should thus
contain brief introductory
material to set the tone of
the study. It should describe
the problem, the
methodology or approach
taken and the results
obtained. One would expect
a concluding or
recommending statement at
the end.
1. 0 INTRODUCTION
The body of the text begins
with the Introduction. The
major headings are also
centered, boldfaced, all
capital letters, and
numbered as seen above.
The major heading is
always separated from the
previous section by 2 lines.
The text of the major
section follows after one
line of separation.
The introduction can be
divided into sub-major
headings, also separated by
two lines from the text of
the major heading or
previous sub-major
headings.
Usually, the introduction
gives a background of the
problem. The introductory
text explains the
information needed for the
reader to understand the
problem or the paper.
The introduction should
have a statement of the
problem, its scope and
limitations.
The sub-major heading is
flushed to the left,
underlined, and is also
numbered to reflect the
level of the heading. The
first level is 1.1, while the
second level is numbered
1.1.1, and so on. The first
letter of the words in the
subheading is capitalized.
One always tries not to have
the headings hanging, that
is, the text should always be
close at hand. The first line
should be in the same
column as the heading.
1.1 The Sub-major Heading
The beginning line of the
sub-major heading starts on
the second line after the
sub-major heading.
Indentation of the
paragraphs in the text is not
necessary. When a figure is
called for in the text, it
should be located as close
as possible to the portion in
the text which first mentions
the figure.

1.1.1 Second Level
Subheading
The figure label is flushed
to the left and located at the
bottom of the figure. Figure
caption is a must. The ideal
figure can stand alone
without the text. That is,
one should not need to read
the text to understand the
figure. The figure caption
should thus be very
descriptive, and the labels
should thus be clear-cut.
The caption should be
punctuated with a period in
the end. When the figure is
mentioned in the text, one
often uses the phrases “as
shown in Figure 1” or (see
Fig. 1). When consecutive
figures are referred to, one
often uses “as shown in
Figs. 1-3” or (see Figs. 1-3).

2. 0 REVIEW OF
RELATED
LITERATURE
This section discusses
previous studies relevant to
the problem and explains
the theoretical background
of the study. It includes the
theories behind the
principles discussed in the
study.
When citing a previous
related study that one made
or made by another person,
proper referencing should
be observed and followed.
3.0 EXPERIMENTAL
SECTION
2.1 Materials
The next section is called
Experimental Section. This
section discusses the
materials, equipment, and
design of experiment. As
such these items become the
major subheadings in this
section. Sample number
and sampling schemes are
also tackled in this section.

One should refrain from

beginning a sentence with
numbers or acronyms.

The first time an acronym

is used in the text, it should
be defined. When the paper
has lots of acronyms in use,
a list of definitions in a
separate section can be
created.

Text should be written in

third person passive mood.
Refrain from the use of
personal pronouns.

Check to see if your figures

have labels which are
readable. The figure should
be able to convey the
message without one’s
having to read the text of
the manuscript. Hence, the
figure captions should be
able to explain the figure.

Do not be redundant with

your data presentation,
some people have the
tendency to show the
tabular data form as well as
the chart. Whenever
possible, charts and graphs
are preferred over
tabulations of data points.
