  • Graduate School Thesis Guidelines
    Guidelines for the Preparation of a Thesis/Dissertation/ Doctoral Research Project A Publication of the Graduate School Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Edwardsville, Illinois August 2021 INTRODUCTION The successful completion of a thesis/dissertation/doctoral research project is the culmination of a student’s work in fulfilling the requirements for a graduate degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The process is demanding, rigorous, time-consuming, challenging, and, sometimes, discouraging. It is also one of the most rewarding aspects of graduate study because it is your topic, your proposal, your research, and your writing. These guidelines are prepared by the Graduate School as one resource in helping you achieve the standards expected for an academic work. Please work closely with your committee chair and the rest of your committee. Remember that these guidelines are exactly that. They are not intended to supersede the suggestions, recommendations, and requirements presented by your committee. Consult with your committee to determine if you will be following formatting for the manuscript thesis or the traditional thesis. Consult with your committee to determine if any particular style is preferred. Some departments will require a specific style while others will leave that decision to the discretion of the student. Examples of style manuals include, among others, Turabian, the American Psychological Association, and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Modern Language Association, and the University of Chicago Press. Whatever style is selected, familiarize yourself with its requirements and be consistent within that style. A thesis/dissertation/doctoral research project is an academic work; as such, creative use of bold and italics and dramatic changes in point size are discouraged even though word processing packages provide some interesting temptations.
