FORWARD This guide is meant to facilitate postgraduate student of Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the preparation of their thesis. Since the preparation of the last guide, typing and printing technologies have acquired new dimensions, all to the benefit of the graduate student. The guide covers, inter alia, the technical specifications, type of paper, format and method of bibliographic citation. The format of this guide has also acquired a new look in order to resemble as closely as possible the format of a thesis, in terms of content layout, except for line spacing. To conserve space, the guide uses single spacing, whereas a thesis is typed in double spacing. As indicated by the title, this document is meant to be a guide and it is up to the students to adapt it to the demands of their respective disciplines. It is hoped that with the availability of this guide, a certain measure of uniformity, which publishers refer to as “house style”, can be achieved in all UniKL thesis. We acknowledge that the preparation of a thesis or dissertation is a complex and tedious process. It involves numerous steps beginning with the submission of a research proposal and ending with the binding of the thesis. With proper planning and the aid of modern typing and printing technologies, the preparation of a thesis can be a very satisfying and rewarding exercise. 2
