Your
paper is to have a title page, introduction, well defined
literature review(body), findings, conclusion, and reference
pages. The paper must be at least 2,500 words.
Use
graphs, charts, tables or figures.
The research paper must be at least 2,500 words supported by
evidence (citations from
peer-reviewed sources).
Note: the research should be thorough and exhaustive.
A minimum of five
(5) peer-reviewed journal citations
are required.
Formatting should be double-spaced, one-inch boarders, no
extra space for headings, no
extra white space, no more than two levels of heading, page
numbers, front and back
matter). Extra white space use to enhance page count will
negatively affect student grade.
The research paper
must only
include materials derived solely from peer reviewed
journals or peer reviewed conference proceedings. Newspapers,
websites (URLs),
magazines, technical journals, hearsay, personal opinions, and

white papers
are NOT
acceptable citations.
All images, tables, figures are to be included in the appendices
and
IS NOT
included in the 15-page requirement. This means appendices are

Formatting Details
Margins
The left-hand margin must be 1inches (4 cm.). Margins at the
right, top, and bottom of the page
should be 1.0 inch. (See exception for chapter title pages
below.) The Research Report text may
be left-aligned (leaving a ragged right edge) or may be both
left- and right-aligned (justified).
Line Spacing
Double-spacing is required for most of the text in documents
submitted during the Research
Report process.
Paragraph Spacing

4.
The text of the document is double-spaced. There should be no
extra spaces between paragraphs
in sections, however, indent the first line of each paragraphs
five spaces.
Page Numbering
All pages should have page numbers in Arabic numerals in the
upper right-hand corner.
Type Style
The body text, the student should use 12-point Times New
Roman. Text for the cover page may
be larger but should not exceed 14-point size. Text for the
chapter title text should be 14-point
size. Be consistent in the use of typefaces throughout the
document. Do not use a compressed
typeface or any settings on the word processor that would
decrease the spacing between letters or
words. Sans serif typefaces such as Helvetica or Arial may be
used for relatively short blocks of
text such as chapter headings and captions but should be
avoided in long passages of text as they
impede readability.
Title Page
Every document that is submitted must have a title page. The

5.
title page includes the exact title of
the research report, date of submission, the team name, and the
name of each team member.
Chapter Title Heading, Subheadings, and Sub-Subheadings
It is required that submitted
Research Report
use no more than three levels of headings in the
body text. All headings should have only the first letter of each
word capitalized except that nonmajor
words shorter than four letters have no capital letters.
Instructions for heading levels follow:
Level 1: Chapter Title Heading

centered on the page, and is set in 14-
point type. The first line contains the chapter number (e.g.,

The third line displays the chapter title, is centered on the page,
and is set in 14-point type.
