Abstract

An abstract is a concise summary of a research paper or an entire thesis and must be limited to a maximum of 250 words. It must be fully self-contained and make sense on its own.

Keywords:- Provide up to 5 to 10 keywords, separated by commas.

Introduction

Insert text (Times New Roman font, size 10, and single-line spacing, contents should be pasted in Text only format and apply a 6 pt. spacing between paragraphs.). Begin the introduction by clearly stating the main topic or research problem the paper addresses. Explain why the topic is important or relevant in the current academic, scientific, or societal context.

The Introduction should give a brief precise of the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important and necessary. It should give a general background of the study, define a problem, emphasize the purpose/justification for its execution, and provide a clear and concise study objective.

Page Formatting

The ideal margin size for all four edges should be 1 inch (2.54 cm). Use a 12-point Times New Roman font for main headings, 10-point for body text, abstract and keywords, and 8-point for references. The header should contain page numbers, aligned to the right, and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals.

Indent the first line of paragraphs, by half an inch, and remove any extra spacing between paragraphs. For paragraphs, set both the "before" and "after" spacing options to 6 pt.

Guidelines

Title

Use 16-point Times New Roman font for the title, boldfaced and centre-aligned.

If you have a subtitle, the main title ends with a colon and the subtitle appears on the next line, bolded and the same size as the main title.

Headings

The Chicago Manual of Style provides several recommendations for formatting headings and subheadings. Begin each subheading on a new line and apply a different font size. It is important to maintain clarity and consistency for each level of hierarchy. Levels of subheadings can be differentiated by type style, such as the use of boldface or italics. Headings may be structured as follows;

Heading 1(14 pt.,Times New Roman, Bold, Left aligned)

Heading 2 (12 pt., Times New Roman, Bold, Left aligned)

Heading 3 (11 pt.,Times New Roman, Italicized, Left aligned)

Citations

The author-date style of the Chicago referencing system should be used. In the Chicago author-date style, in-text citations should include the author's last name and the publication year, placed in parentheses. If directly quoting a source, include the page number after the year, separated by a comma. For example: (John 2020) or (John 2020, 15) for a direct quote. If there are two authors, use "and" between their names (Smith and John 2020). For three or more authors, use "et al." (John et al. 2020). These citations should appear within the text, typically at the end of the sentence, before any punctuation.

Arrange the reference entries in alphabetical order. If an entry extends onto a second line, a half-inch hanging indent should be applied to all lines except the first line of the entry.

Quotations

Short quotes

If a quote is less than five lines, incorporate it into a sentence. Enclose the quoted material in double quotation marks - “ ”. Example: As Jones notes, "The rise of nation-states reshaped the political landscape of Europe" (Jones 2018, 102).

Block quotes

Block quotes are not enclosed in quotation marks. They are separated from the surrounding text by a blank line on both sides and are indented by an extra 1 inch. When block quotations include multiple paragraphs, new paragraphs are further indented. Example:

The history of early modern Europe is marked by significant social and political transformations. The rise of capitalism, the influence of the Protestant Reformation, and the consolidation of nation-states all contributed to shaping the trajectory of the period. These factors cannot be viewed in isolation but must be understood in relation to one another, as they created a complex web of interdependent developments that shaped the course of European history. The period between 1500 and 1800 was not just a time of political and economic change, but also one of intellectual transformation that laid the foundation for modern Western thought. (Smith 2020, 55)

Figures and Tables

Figure captions should be placed above the figure, and table captions should be placed above the table. Both captions must be in 9-point Times New Roman, centered, and non-bold. Any sources or notes related to the figure or table should be placed below the figure or table in 8-point Times New Roman, ensuring clarity and proper formatting. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively (e.g.: Fig 1: and Table 1.).
