Pre-plan for a thesis

IEEE Format
Create a checklist while writing thesis
 Thesis is a Greek word meaning
positionrefers to an Intellectual Proposition
A thesis statement declares what you believe
and what you intend to prove
Usually a document submitted to obtain a
academic degree or professional qualification
presenting the author's research and findings
 Defining your topic
Width of topic: Broad enough to address an important and
interesting issue, but narrow enough to address the issue
in the time allotted
Understand the limitations of your situation (your
capabilities, motivation, experiences, additional classes to
be taken, supervision, required labwork, dependence on
others, etc.)
Do some previous readings. Make sure you understand at
least roughly what you are getting into.
Creating a timetable
Coordinate with your other commitments
 Reading strategies
Read to explore. Then read to focus. Finally read to
understand all the details of previous relevant work.
Read critically. Research is not about believing, but about
asking questions.
Read always you can never do enough reading.
Writing as you research
As you read, take notes: As you research and experiment,
write things down. Keep a journal and list everything what
you do related to the topic. Very often you will publish one
or more papers before you complete a PhD thesis anyway.

Format: Shape, size, and general makeup of a publication

Paper size: A4
Line spacing (4 lines/inch = 1 1/2 space = 18 pt vertical space)
Margins (Left - 1.5 in, Right - 1.0 in, Top - 1.0 in, Bottom - 1.25 in)

Style: Custom or plan followed in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and

typographic arrangement and display

Typeface: Times
Font: Times Regular
Point Size: 12

Avoid excessive use of emphasis in your thesis, however you may use
Times Italic, Times Bold, and underlining in body text for emphasis as
appropriate.
Page Numbering

Page numbers should be right justified above the body of the text with
the top of the characters one half inch from the top edge of the page.
All pages except the title page must be numbered, including text,
references, and appendices.
Cover pages for sections, including those for the bibliography,
references, vita, and appendices should not be numbered.
Title
Capitalise the first letter of the Title
Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor),
and prepositions are lowercase
Prepositions of more than three letters (Before, Through, With, Without,
Versus, Among, Under, Between) should be capitalized

Units
Use International System of Units (SI units) or and CGS units.
o Dont combining SI and CGS units
Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units:
Wb/m2 or webers per square meter, not webers/m2.
Spell out units when they appear in text:
. . . a few henries, not . . . a few H.
Equation

Typeface: Times
Text font: Times Italic 12 point
Number font: Times Regular 12 point
Positioning: Centered
Referencing: In text, citation of equations should be enclosed in
parentheses (2)
Math
Variables are set in italic
Always add a zero before decimals, but do not add after (e.g., 0.25)
Use thin spaces (instead of a comma) between numbers in tens or
hundreds of thousands (e.g., 60 000, 100 000, but 4000)
Use zeroth, first, nth, (k+1)th, not 0th, 1st, 2nd, 99th, n th , (k + 1)st

Conditions
In displayed equations, there should be a comma or parentheses and a
two-em space between the main expression and the condition following it.
For example,
X=yn^{-2}, for all n=3

X=yn^{-2}, Vn=3
En and Em Dash
The en dash represents the words to, through, or and.
Use it between page numbers (e.g., pp. 510), reference numbers
(e.g., [5][10]), figure citations, (e.g., Figs. 24), academic years (e.g.,
19961999), proper nouns (BoseEinstein theory), a range of values
(e.g., 1020 cm), or for opposites (e.g., inout)
The em dash is used to highlight a parenthetical phrase in a sentence
(e.g., An FIB modifies a surface by sputtering with energetic ions
usually Ga for technical reasons in a beam with half-width of the
order of 10 nm. )
To insert Em Dash: CTRL + Alt + <hyphen on the number pad>
Acronyms and Abbreviation
Define acronyms and abbreviations the first time they appear,
followed by the acronym in parentheses
Acronyms and abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc,
dc, and rms do not have to be defined.
Do not use abbreviations in the title or headings unless they
are unavoidable.
The abbreviation i.e. means that is, and the abbreviation
e.g. means for example.
Reference
The entries are listed in the same numerical order as in the text.
Use the initials of the authors first names and their full last names. E.g.
A. Riter.
Any information that is unavailable can be left out of the entry, but you
must provide as much information as possible to identify the source.
