Tools that any student and researcher need before submitting their work:
Before you submit your essay, assignment, scientific paper you have to format it.
The guidelines that you will follow are mainly the same and follow this format.
There may be some small differences in format that your own lecturer may request of you. You have to make sure that you read and follow the instructions in your subject learning guides carefully. Always make sure to convert your file from a word file to PDF file. You can use onlineconvertfree.com to convert you documents before submitting them.
Moreover, you have to follow these requirements regarding the file format, title page, margins, paragraphs, font, pagination, appendices and references.
- Title page:
The title page should contain: name, student number, unit title/number, question title/name, due date, unit coordinator, word count. You do NOT have to decorate the page (e.g. graphics, photographs) unless you are asked to by the lecturer. On the computer – use your ‘Font’ & ‘Paragraph’ tools to work on the layout.
-Margins
Margins - minimum 2.5 cm, maximum 3 cm all around. On the computer – use the ‘Page Layout’ tool to set up your margins.
-Paragraphs
Double or 1.5 space all of the essay paragraphs including ‘long quotations’ (more than 40 words) which should have NO quotation marks, be indented 1.3 cm to the right, and have the same spacing as the rest of the essay paragraphs. (Can vary with referencing system you are using.) Leave 1 blank line between paragraphs or indent the first word (not both). On the computer – use ‘Paragraph’ OR ’Line and paragraph spacing’ for 1.5 OR double spacing.
-Font
Use a plain serif (e.g. Times New Roman) or sans serif (e.g. Arial) font. A serif font is easier to
read. Suggested sizes are 12 for the text and 14 for headings.
-Pagination
Put numbers in line with the right margin at the top or bottom of each page. Centre the number of
the first page of chapters or appendices at the bottom. It is also acceptable, although less
common, to centre all page numbers. Pagination is best done with Header and Footer.
On the computer – use ‘Insert’ >header or footer > insert your name, student number, assignment
number/topic, page number.

Appendices usually follow the reference list.
Each appendix must start on a new page.
Appendices must be numbered—A,B,C or 1,2,3.
