Thesis & Dissertation Style Guide
University of Maryland, Baltimore Electronic Dissertation and Thesis Style Guide INTRODUCTION This Electronic Dissertation and Thesis Style Guide is intended to assist you in the preparation of your Doctoral Dissertation or Master’s Thesis, the final requirement for your degree. The Graduate School at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) maintains specific requirements as to the format and appearance of its dissertations and theses; such requirements assure a standard of uniformity and aesthetic consistency commensurate with the rigorous academic principles of the University. In previous years, these formatting requirements were determined primarily by the restrictions associated with the process of printing and binding the documents for publication. Dissertations and theses completed in accredited Doctoral programs are published by ProQuest through an exclusive arrangement with the Library of Congress. These documents also may be published electronically by the UMB Digital Archive. The flexibility of electronic publishing—fast becoming the standard for dissertations and theses—enables the Graduate School to determine its own standards, independent of the printing process. This guide will assist you in creating a dissertation or thesis that conforms to those standards. Through an arrangement with ProQuest, the University of Maryland, Baltimore accepts dissertations and theses in electronic format. Under this arrangement, students submit an electronic version of their dissertation or thesis directly to ProQuest / UMI via the World Wide Web. Officials from the Graduate School then review the document online and request revisions by e-mail, if necessary. BEFORE YOU PREPARE YOUR DRAFT 1. Understand the Formatting Requirements in this document, the UMB Electronic Dissertation and Thesis Style Guide.

Foreword to the Book, Citation Indexing by Robert K. Merton
Foreword I like to read some general significance into Eugene Garfield’s having offered me the privilege of introducing the reader to this book, which sets out the history, method, and implications of his distinctive contribution to the advancement of science: the first multidisciplinary citation index to the scientific literature. My being a close friend cannot account for his having done so. Gene has many good friends more knowing than I about information science and the methodology of citation analysis. I suspect that the significance of his choice lies precisely there: in his having reached out for a sociologist of science rather than an information scientist. For one of the remarkable things about Eugene Garfield is that along with the imagination, pragmatic judgment, and immense energy required to invent, produce, and develop a useful tool for a seemingly routine but fundamental task in science-searching the literature- he has a deep intuitive sense of the social, cultural, and cognitive struc- tures latent in the practice of science. This found expression in his seeing, from the very start, that his invention of the Science Citation Index would develop into a powerful tool for the historical and sociological study of science. I imagine that he wanted to have the subject of the book set squarely within this broader framework rather than the primary but narrower one of information science alone. I accept the inferred assignment with pleasure-and understandable misgivings. This book is long overdue. Its most immediate didactic value resides in helping the reader to understand the concept and workings of the citation index as a device for making the search of the literature much more comprehensive and far less arduous than was previously possible.

The Lion, the Rooster, and the Union: National Identity in the Belgian Clandestine Press, 1914-1918
THE LION, THE ROOSTER, AND THE UNION: NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE BELGIAN CLANDESTINE PRESS, 1914-1918 by MATTHEW R. DUNN Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: _________________________ Dr. Andrew Denning _________________________ Dr. Nathan Wood _________________________ Dr. Erik Scott _________________________ Date Abstract Significant research has been conducted on the trials and tribulations of Belgium during the First World War. While amateur historians can often summarize the “Rape of Belgium” and cite nationalism as a cause of the war, few people are aware of the substantial contributions of the Belgian people to the war effort and their significance, especially in the historical context of Belgian nationalism. Relatively few works have been written about the underground press in Belgium during the war, and even fewer of those works are scholarly. The Belgian underground press attempted to unite the country's two major national identities, Flemings and Walloons, using the German occupation as the catalyst to do so. Belgian nationalists were able to momentarily unite the Belgian people to resist their German occupiers by publishing pro-Belgian newspapers and articles. They relied on three pillars of identity—Catholic heritage, loyalty to the Belgian Crown, and anti-German sentiment. While this expansion of Belgian identity dissipated to an extent after WWI, the efforts of the clandestine press still serve as an important framework for the development of national identity today. By examining how the clandestine press convinced members of two separate nations, Flanders and Wallonia, to re-imagine their community to the nation of Belgium, historians can analyze the successful expansion of a nation in a war-time context.

Book Reviews Philip Smith, New Directions in Bookbinding
Book reviews Philip Smith, New directionsin bookbinding.London, Studio Vista, Cassell & Collier Mac- Millan Publishers Ltd./New York, Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1974, 4°, 208 pp., 210 illus., £12.50. Contemporary bookbinding suffers greatly from a basic misunderstanding of its purpose and significance: whereas most of us will agree that present-day technology has almost totally eliminated the role of the hand-bookbinder in serving the general reader (the restorer being an exception), there are few prepared to accept that the craft of book- binding has great potentialities as a unique variety of applied art. The present book, by a talented British designer-bookbinder, documents the bookbinding art's struggle for recognition and survival. It is a vehement appeal, substantiated by presentation of his own creative work. At the same time, however, it is also intended to be a manual of design and execution in high-quality binding. The material is squeezed into twenty- three chapters on subjects ranging from 'historical notes', 'a framework for thinking', or 'design for use', through sophisticated ways of applying leather for building up images, to practical matters like the properties of adhesives and the use of various mechanical aids. A limited number of contributions are the work of British and con- tinental colleagues. There are also five appendices on technical matters (including one on the manufacture of leather); an index and a bibliography complete the book, which iss profusely illustrated. All this seems to be too abundant for two hundred pages: the book is overloaded with information and provocative thoughts; it is intriguing, but not free from controversial items and ambiguities.

WRITING an BOOK REVIEW for an ACADEMIC JOURNAL Step 1: Read the Book in It's Entirety • Don't Just Read the Chapters of Th
Asta J. Rand Winter 2016 WRITING AN BOOK REVIEW FOR AN ACADEMIC JOURNAL Step 1: Read the book in it’s entirety Don’t just read the chapters of the book, but also look at the following: foreword, preface, acknowledgements, references, index etc. As you read, take notes in your own words Note the following: o What is the central question or issue the book addresses? o What is the book’s argument or thesis? o How is the book organized to support this thesis? How are the chapters ordered? Chronologically? Thematically? Ideally, it is best to read the book twice. The first read through should be to familiarize yourself with the book and form initial impressions, followed by a break and a second reading to gather evidence to support your conclusions. Step 2: Evaluate the Book Once you have read the work, take a few days to evaluate it Think critically about the work Evaluate the key arguments, how effectively they were presented and supported, and if they help or fail to help readers to understand a given topic Consider the following questions o How and what does this work help us to understand about a time period or issue? o What types of evidence does the author draw on to support his or her argument? o Does the book do what the author claims it will do? o Are there other types of evidence that the author fails to acknowledge or ignores? o What theoretical perspective does the author work from? How does this shape of affect his/her argument? o How is the book similar or different from other books on the topic? Why are they similar or different? o Are you convinced by the book? Why or why not? Appendix A provides a useful format of key areas that should be considered in the evaluation Step 3: Write the Review I.

Front Matter: Masterhead, Verso and Recto Pages
Front matter: Masthead, verso and recto pages Worachart Sirawaraporn Emeritus Professor, Mahidol University What is Front Mattter? • For printed books, front matter is the stuff at the beginning of the book, i.e. foreword, preface, table of contents, etc. The pages are numbered in lower- case Roman numerals. Each page is counted, but no folio or page number is expressed, or printed, on either display pages or blank pages. • For computer programming, front matter is the metadata at the top of a file. The term was (probably) popularized by the Jekyll static site generator. Example of front matter • Half title: only the main title of the publication. • Title page(s): minimally the full title of the work, including the subtitle (if any), the name of the author and—if applicable—illustrator. May include: • Publisher’s name and address • Copyright information • ISBN • Edition notice • Date of publication • Number of printings • Disclaimers • Warranties • Safety notices • Dedication: written by the author and includes the names of the person/persons for whom the publication was written. • Epigraph: a quotation included by the author that is relevant but not essential to the text. • Table of Contents: typically in the middle of the front matter. It may be a very simple listing of what is in the book, or it may be very detailed and include descriptions of each chapter or section. • Errata: a correction to the document. Errata are commonly added shortly after the first publication. The errata are sometimes found in the back of the book (called the back matter). • Foreword: a short piece of writing, written by someone other than the author.
