How to write your geology thesis, conducting thesis research.

It is the students' responsibility to aggressively pursue their thesis research. This should happen without constant prodding from the adviser. Students should take the initiative and do what needs to be done, but at the same time they should also keep their advisers informed of their progress. 

Once the research is initiated, the adviser's only required role is to provide guidance; the students carry the rest of the research load. Although there are certainly exceptions, most thesis advisers do not (and should not be expected to) work as "co-researchers" with their students (i.e., they do not share in the field and/or laboratory work).

Literature survey

In any research project, one's objective should be to become the world's leading expert. This is entirely feasible for the typical narrowly defined thesis topic. One of the most important steps in becoming "the expert" is finding and studying the relevant literature. Every book and article with something to say about your thesis topic should be consulted .

Finding references

  • Your adviser will normally give you an initial set of references to work from. Pay close attention to the bibliographies. Some of the references they cite may be useful to you. If carlson library does not have a reference then request it either through inter-library loan or the ohiolink web site. Do not limit yourself to what's in carlson library: if you do, you will not have much.
  • Search for new references using ohiolink. The "subject" and "words" search options will be useful for this. For broader searches use the worldcat web site. This is an on-line catalog for thousands of libraries around the world. You can reach it through ohiolink by selecting "research databases" for the "humanities". Other research databases may be useful such as "geo-ref", which contains nearly every reference on north american geology published in a north american periodical.
  • The university of michigan has an excellent geology library and you might consider going there to "browse" the literature.
  • Taking notes from readings
  • Make photocopies of all useful articles, and sections of books. For books, always include a photocopy of the title page.
  • Always take a set of notes for each reference. Do not simply highlight the relevant passages on your photocopy; distill and synthesize the important information in your own words.
  • For each piece of information noted, record the page number.
  • Keeping files and recording references
  • Keep a well-organized file of all photocopies and notes.
  • Citations for all useful references should be recorded. For journal articles record, in the following order: author (last name and all initials), year published, title in full, journal name (don't use abbreviations), volume number (and issue number, if important), and pages. For books and maps record: all authors or editors (last names and all initials; indicate whether author or editor), year published, title in full, publisher's name, and publisher's city. Some faculty members will also want the total number of pages. For maps always be sure to record the scale. Either write the citation for each reference on a 3" x 5" note card and keep these in a box specially made for such cards, or enter it into an ms word document or a specialty program for references like endnote. 

Suggested thesis organization

Title page                     .

Concisely summarize what you did and how you did it, and what your principal findings and conclusions are. Do not cite any references, tables, figures or anything else. The abstract "must stand alone". Think of it as an ultra mini-version of your thesis. It is important that the abstract be informative and well written because it is the only part of your thesis that many people will read.

            The abstract should be the last part of the thesis you write.

Acknowledgements

Thank your thesis advisor for giving you the topic and for supervising the work, and thank also the other thesis committee members and anyone else who helped you (physically, financially and/or emotionally) get through the experience (e.g., family, friends or pets).

This is an option for students who want to make their thesis a lasting testimony to a much loved and appreciated friend or family member.

Table of contents

List of figures

List of tables

List of plates

Introduction

Statement of the problem : state the justification for doing the thesis. In other words, what is the geological problem that you are trying to solve and why does the work need to be done?

Objectives of the study : enumerate your specific objectives (i.e., provide a list of what you are going to do and what you expect/hope to achieve).

Background (or previous investigations) : this should be a literature review of the previous work done by others on your thesis topic. For example, you might discuss the geology of your field area or earlier research findings relevant to your study. Do not mention any of your own thesis results in this chapter. It is always best if you can synthesize the literature rather than simply summarize each individual reference. If there are a large number of references it might be possible to present the key information in a table.

If you are repeating, word-for-word, what someone has said, you must put the text within quotes. Alternatively, you can paraphrase what was said but you should still use quotes for the critical clauses or terminology. For example: smith (1989) studied the podunk formation and concluded that it represents deposition in an "arid braided stream" environment (p. 32).

Methodology

Here you describe the field and/or laboratory methods you used. Others need to be able to reproduce your work (or, at least, understand it) and so it is important that you leave nothing out. Very detailed analytical procedures involving numerous steps are best described in an appendix with only a general overview given in this chapter. As a rule, you want this section to be "readable" and so most of the uninteresting (but still important) detail should go into the appendices.

Describe (but do not discuss or interpret) your field and/or laboratory observations using copious figures, tables and/or maps to illustrate your findings. The raw data should be tabulated in an appendix, and this chapter should only be used to "summarize" and "organize" your results in ways that are meaningful and informative.

Use this chapter to interpret your findings in accordance with the objectives of the study. Also discuss any previously published interpretations that support or conflict with your own.

Conclusions

Concisely enumerate the principal findings and conclusions of your study. Do not mention anyone else's results and do not engage in any further discussion of your results. Also do not include any new figures or tables, but do refer to earlier figures and tables that support specific conclusions.

The conclusions differ from the abstract in two ways: conclusions (1) do not include anything about the statement of the problem, objectives, or methodology; and (2) present the findings in more detail.  

Recommendations for Future (or Further) Research

This should be an enumerated list of possible research topics for those who come after you. These topics normally include unsolved problems from your study or alternative approaches the same problem. Remember: a thesis is never the final word on anything; there is always more work that can be done.

References cited or Bibliography (this should come before the appendices)

This is an alphabetical listing of all the references cited in the text (do not include any references not cited). The citations must be complete: i.e., they should include, for a given reference, all of the authors with all their initials (do not use full first and second names), complete title for articles/books/maps, complete name for periodicals (do not use abbreviations), name of the publisher and city for books, and inclusive pages for articles. You may follow the standard citation format found in one of the major geology periodicals (e.g., journal of geology, bulletin of the geological society of america, geology, bulletin of the american association of petroleum geologists — they are all similar). Examples of standard citation formats are as follows:

Journal article : Randy, R. U., and I. R. Hott, 1988, Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Podunk Formation, Humble County, Ohio: Journal of Unreproducible Results, v. 1, no. 3, p. 45-67.

Book :  Rufus, B. O., 1993, Geologic formations I have known: Backalley Publishers, Toledo.

Thesis or dissertation :  Zilla, G. O. D., 1988, Hydrogeology of the Mudhens Stadium, Maumee, Ohio: M.S. Thesis, University of Toledo.             

Article or chapter in a book : Butts, M. Y., 1972, Petrography of a strange rock I found; in Larrie, A. B., Moe, C. D., and Curly, E. F. (eds.), 'Geology of Never-Never Land': Rip-Off Press, Cleveland.                      

Map : Ali, B. B., 1960 (revised 1972), Geologic map of the Whataduck Quadrangle, Ohio (1:25,000): Subsurface Data Center, University of Toledo, Toledo. 

Appendices :   include separate (or even multiple) appendices for the raw data, and for the detailed procedures for sampling, sample preparation and/or analyses. 

_________________________________________________________________

Miscellaneous notes

Figures and tables should follow on the next page after the page where they are first cited.

Every piece of information (fact or idea) that you use in the text but which is not your own must have its source cited at the end of the sentence (or paragraph) where it is used. The citation should always include the author(s)' last name, year of publication and the number of the page(s) where the information came from. Examples:

  • Smith (1990, p. 101) or (Smith 1990, p. 101)
  • (Smith and jones 1987, p. 53-57)
  • ( Smith et al. 1986, p. 12, 18-21) for 3 or more authors

Page numbers are required for books and other lengthy monographs, and optional (but still useful and much recommended) for articles.

If the information cited by one source actually comes from an earlier source you should cite both. Example :

  • (Smith 1900 as reported by Jones 1988, p. 21)

Some computer software packages used in your research should be cited. When doing so give the full official name of the package together with the vendor's name, city and state (or country if not the us). For example :

  • Atlas GIS (Strategic Mapping, Santa Clara, CA)

If the information is a "personal communication" to you via telephone, email or letter, then cite it as, for example, "(B. J. Smith, Ohio Geological Survey, Personal Communication, 1989)". Personal communications are not included in the references cited.

If you borrow a figure or table from another source then, of course, that source must be cited in the figure caption or in a footnote below the table. In these citations give the author(s)' last name, year and the figure/table number in the original source as in, for example, "(from Smith 1990, fig. 12.5)". If you have modified the figure or table, then you say "(modified from ...)", and if you have redrawn a figure or retyped a table with added modifications, then you say "(adapted from ...)".

In each chapter divide your text into sections and, where appropriate, subsections. This helps to organize the material and improve its presentation. Your heading hierarchy needs to visually reflect the different levels of importance. The following is an example of such a hierarchy.

First Order Heading

Second Order Heading

Third Order Heading                          

1. Fourth Order Heading

Fifth Order Heading: . . .  First sentence . . .   

Writing a thesis

For the majority of students the most difficult part of thesis research is the writing. You are basically being asked to write a book, and this is intimidating task and one that is beyond your experience. Most students who never finish their theses, and there have been many in the geology department, fail because they lack the discipline, inspiration, patience and technique required of writers.

The first thing you need to do is acquire the basic writers "tools," and these include:

  • A good dictionary such as websters, longmans or american heritage. Avoid the small, abridged "college" editions.
  • A good book on english grammar. There are several to chose from but the easiest route is to buy whatever book is used in the english department's introductory composition course.
  • Other books that all serious geological writers should have are a thesaurus (with synonyms and antonyms), and the american geological institute's "glossary of geology."

Steps in the writing process

Experienced writers all have their own ways of going about the writing process, and you will have to figure out (if you don't already know) what works best for you. Even if you think you already know how best to go about writing, i strongly recommend that you try following the steps listed below. These may seem like more work, but they will, i believe, make the writing process more efficient and enjoyable.

Make an outline of the thesis. This should be as detailed as possible with each chapter subdivided into sections. The intent here is to identify all the topics that you will be writing about. Almost certainly the final thesis draft will follow a somewhat different outline but a preliminary one is an essential first step. Consult with your adviser on this.   

Organize your notes and literature copies in accordance with the thesis outline. For every topic identified in the outline (i.e., every chapter section) make a complete set of notes that includes all the information needed for the thesis. This will involve transferring information from your earlier notes and rereading some the literature to glean additional information missed in the first reading. All information recorded that is not your own must be accompanied by a reference citation with author(s), year and page number(s), and quoted passages must be enclosed in quotes.

Do the writing in a comfortable, quiet place that is free of distractions and where you can work undisturbed for hours at a time. I like to compose first drafts in longhand and then type them into a computer word-processor, but others may find it easier to do the initial writing on the computer.

Pick one of the thesis chapters to write on. You do not have to start the thesis at the beginning. You can write the chapters in any order that you wish, and then later stitch them together.

Write two "first drafts" of the chosen chapter. The first one is basically a quick and dirty "mind dump" in which you do not worry about spelling, grammar, syntax or any of the other niceties of writing. The objective here is to get all the information on paper in the order that you want it. This approach protects you from "writer's block" which can occur when you have to contend with getting both the information and prose right. Writing the initial "first draft" is quick and easy if you have prepared your notes as described in step 2 above.

Next, write the second "first draft." this is just a rewriting of the first draft where you clean up the prose: spelling and grammatical errors are corrected, and the text is smoothed and streamlined so that it reads well. Try to be articulate and "interesting" in your choice of words (the thesaurus will be helpful here).  

Type the second "first draft" using a word-processor like microsoft word. Run your text through word's spelling and grammar checkers to catch errors previously overlooked.

Over the next days or weeks reread the chapter at least a few times and make further editorial changes. I often find that a draft that i thought was "finished" does not look quite so good a few days later. I like to do my editing on hard-copy pages rather than the computer monitor. The advantages of paper pages are that you can look at them in greater comfort and without the eye strain caused by computer monitors, and, more importantly, you can see whole pages or groups of pages simultaneously. In editing, it is often necessary to flip back and forth among pages. You will probably find that you do your best editing early in the day when you mind is still "fresh."

Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the other chapters. Your thesis is now largely written! Some further editing is needed to ensure that the text flows logically and coherently from one chapter to the next. For example, you want to avoid defining a technical term in a later chapter when it is used in earlier chapters: terms should always be defined where they are first used.    

When to Start Writing the Thesis

Trying to write your entire thesis at one time is a daunting task. It is much better to spread the writing out over a longer period. For example, the "introduction" can be written when you begin the thesis research, and the "background" and "methodology" chapters can be written early in the thesis work. After all the field and/or laboratory work is completed, you can then write the chapters on "results," "discussion," "conclusions" and "recommendations for future research." earlier-written chapters will, of course, need some revisions and you will also have to put together the "references cited" and "appendices".

First Drafts to the Thesis Adviser

Many advisers want the first draft of a thesis that you give to them to be complete: i.e., it includes all of the chapters and other required sections plus all the tables, figures and plates. The first draft should also be well written, and largely free of grammatical and spelling mistakes. Some faculty will refuse to read a draft that does not meet these criteria! If you are having problems writing the prose, you might consider consulting a counselor at the university's writing center.

Before handing in a first draft check with your adviser to find out what is expected. Some advisers will allow you to submit your thesis one chapter at a time.

Changes in discoverability of geoscience theses and dissertations.

Geoscience departments provide information about their graduating students’ theses and dissertations to AGI’s GeoRef database where they are then made discoverable to the geoscience research community. The trends in theses and dissertations reported over time as well as the topics of these publications provides insight into new research horizons/emphasis within the geoscience community.

In this data brief, we examine the changes in the number of U.S. and Canadian theses and dissertations reported to GeoRef and in the research topics of these publications. Of note is the increasing number of faculty publications available in GeoRef and the decreasing trend in theses between 1985 and 2009 which rebounded thereafter before declining again, and in dissertations between 1999 and 2016. Although the following factors are causing downward pressure on the number of theses and dissertations submitted to GeoRef, the proportion of influence each factor has on the decline is unknown.

Factors involved in the decreasing number of theses and dissertations submitted to GeoRef include:

  • A change in the way geoscience graduate research is disseminated to the scientific community as graduate students are authors and co-authors of peer-reviewed publications in lieu of traditional dissertations.
  • The availability of geoscience degree programs that do not required a thesis or dissertation, including cohort programs.
  • The deposition of theses and dissertations into institutional repositories without also submitting these publications to GeoRef or ProQuest.

Data Brief 2009-007 chart01: Number of Theses, Dissertations, and Faculty Publications

Changes in graduate research topics

Trends in topics of reported theses and dissertations indicate increasing percentages of these publications focusing on economic geology (especially related to energy sources), environmental geology, extraterrestrial geology, geomorphology, and Quaternary geology. Those topics that have been steadily decreasing include areal geology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, mineralogy, oceanography, and petrology. These trends may indicate a shift in research focus, and/or may also reflect a merging of topics within disciplines.

153 Geology Research Topics

This article provides students and researchers with a list of geology-related topics on various aspects of geology without having them go through the stress of choosing the topics. It can also serve as topic guides in helping you choose your research paper topics in this area.

Geology is an earth science discipline concerned with solid and liquid earth, rocks, and the process with which it is composed and changed over time. It is the study of the earth, everything it is composed of, including its features and structures. Another term for geology is “geoscience.”

With knowledge of geology, students get to write essays and papers on the various related aspects of the subject. Geology courses are majorly offered in colleges, which means that writing on the subject is mostly for college and postgraduate students. To write a geology research paper, students and researchers must know that a good geology research paper cuts across the physical characteristics of the human surroundings. Also, embarking on research writing in this area of learning requires preparation and lots of research work, and to scale through, the best thing is first to choose a suitable topic that resonates with you; this is the first tip to writing an excellent research paper. Like every other research writing on other subjects, writing a geology paper requires that you follow through with some laid down writing structures. These structures guide you while writing, help give your work form and help you achieve the purpose for writing.

Structure of a Geology Research Paper

A typical research paper follows a particular pattern. Each of its patterns addresses the various related aspects of the paper. The purpose of understanding the structure of a research paper is that it aids your understanding of how to arrange various ideas introduced in the paper. The structure of a research paper differs from that of any other form of writing. It follows a detailed format. The following are its particulars in the order of their appearance.

  • Abstract The abstract is very important in research writing. Any properly written research starts with an abstract that gives a detailed overview of all the various areas the research will touch across. For research writing, an abstract helps you understand the areas your writing will focus on. When writing an abstract, you are to briefly outline your research areas, indicating the relevant points and keywords on which your research will concentrate. Your abstract has to appear after your research topic.
  • Introduction Your introduction is like a brief background to your research topic. When writing an introduction for your research, your focus should be, stating facts related to your topic, outlining the purpose and the research objectives. The introduction narrows the scope of your research, giving a reader background information on the research topic.
Research methodology Statement of the research problem Research results and finding Discussion
  • Conclusion The conclusion is the final part of a well-written research paper structure. Research is considered incomplete if it does not contain the concluding part. In your research conclusion, you are expected to summarize and highlight other important information and findings not included in the body of the paper.
  • Reference List The reference list is where you reference all the studies and scholarly materials you have used in your research. Without including a reference list to your research, people may suggest that your work is plagiarized.

In academia, there are different referencing styles. There is the APA, MLA, and Harvard referencing style. The style you are to use in your research depends on the one recommended by your professor.

So, it’s a challenge to write a paper for a high grade. Sometimes every student need a professional help with college paper writing. Therefore, don’t be afraid to hire a writer to complete your assignment. Just write a message “Please, write custom research paper for me” and get time to relax.

  • How to Read a Journal Article
  • Citing Sources

Introduction

  • Tips for Writing
  • Introduce the problem/topic - the problem/topic needs to be well defined
  • Your goal here is to tell the reader about a particular topic in order to give them the background they need to understand the problem/issue you are going to use the paper to address.
  • Provide background or context that shows the importance of the problem/topic - through the use of cited references (information should be relevant to the thesis - see below - Wells rubric)
  • Background info presented should give context to the thesis
  • Present thesis statement - link to an example (Thesis should be stated in clear, concise manner, should be original, engaging, and thought provoking)

What is a thesis statement?

A thesis statement tells the reader what your motivation for writing the paper is (no, it’s not that it was assigned by your professor). The following is an example of a good thesis statement:

Based on an increase in seasonal rainfall over the past fifty years in New York State and the tendency for waterfalls to erode their capstones at rates proportional to stream flow rates, this paper attempts to predict the fate of Niagara Falls, Kaaterskill Falls, and Taughannock Falls.

Notice how the thesis statement...

  • is written as a statement
  • is based in facts - if you are having trouble writing a good thesis statement try starting with the phrase “based on”
  • ends with a phrase that hints at the content of the rest of the paper
  • limits the extent of the argument

Because this thesis statement is based in facts, obviously you need to present these facts to your reader before you can use them in an argument. This means that you would likely have to have a paragraph in your introduction that defines how climate has changed over the past fifty years. To do this, you’ll need to use the Geology Research Guide  to look up relevant references and use the Citing Sources Guide  to cite those references in your text. Do not copy from a reference. Even if you cite a reference, it’s still plagiarism (see definition for plagiarism in the campus policy in Intellectual Integrity ) if you don’t use your own words.  Also, as a general rule, we do not use quotations in geological papers - so avoid them at all costs. You’ll need to paraphrase your references. One great way of doing this is to read through several references on the same topic and then summarize what you have learned being sure to cite any reference you used.

Be sure to present your argument in a logical way. Fact A + Fact B → Argument/Focus. You don’t need to lay out every fact - you might come up with some new connections as you write your paper! You should introduce the topic in enough detail that the reader can understand the paper’s focus and direction.

The thesis statement helps you to restrict your paper’s focus. In the example above, the author does not need to talk about every waterfall in NY or in the world (although some could be brought in as supporting evidence). Instead the author tells their reader that this paper will focus solely on three waterfalls across New York State.

Geologic setting - If your topic centers on a particular location, you should consider having a geologic setting section that describes the geology of the study area (if there is one) and any previous work relevant to the thesis including cited references

How to Choose a Thesis Topic

Selecting a fitting and feasible thesis topic is a crucial first step for any graduate student. The choice of a thesis topic not only determines the direction of your academic journey but also impacts your motivation, career trajectory, and the contribution you will make to your field of study. Therefore, understanding how to effectively choose a thesis topic is foundational to your success both as a student and as a budding scholar.

What Makes a Good Thesis Topic

  • Relevance: A good thesis topic should be relevant to current issues or questions in your field. It should aim to fill a gap in knowledge or contribute to ongoing debates among scholars. Relevance ensures that your research findings will be of interest to others in your discipline and could potentially influence future research, policy, or practice.
  • Originality: Originality involves bringing new insights or proposing a novel approach to a problem. It doesn’t necessarily mean venturing into a completely unexplored territory but can involve taking a fresh perspective on existing questions. A thesis that introduces original concepts or challenges established norms tends to stand out and captivate the interest of the academic community.
  • Manageability: A feasible thesis topic is one that can realistically be researched and completed within the constraints of your resources, time frame, and academic requirements. Manageability requires careful consideration of the scope of the research and the availability of data and methods needed to conduct it effectively.
  • Interest and passion: Passion fuels perseverance, which is crucial in the long and sometimes daunting process of completing a thesis. Choosing a topic that genuinely interests you will keep you engaged and motivated during your research journey. It also often leads to more profound and insightful scholarly work because you are more likely to go above and beyond in exploring something you care deeply about.

Moving from a Thesis Idea to a Thesis Topic

  • Initial brainstorming techniques: Begin by jotting down various ideas that spark your interest. This initial phase is about exploring broadly and creatively without restricting your thoughts. Use mind mapping, lists, or free-writing techniques to generate and record ideas as they come to you.
  • Narrowing down ideas based on research feasibility and interest: Once you have a list of potential ideas, evaluate each based on how interesting they are to you and how feasible they are in terms of research scope and resources available. Discard ideas that are too broad, too narrow, or not sufficiently supported by available data or methods.
  • Importance of preliminary research: Conducting preliminary research is essential to determine if there is enough existing material to support your topic. This research can also reveal whether your idea has already been extensively covered, prompting you to adjust your angle or approach to ensure originality.

Connecting a Specific Thesis Topic to a Bigger Idea

  • Aligning the topic with broader themes and research questions: Your thesis should not only address a specific issue but also connect to larger conceptual or empirical questions in your field. This alignment helps to position your research within broader scholarly conversations and enhances its impact and relevance.
  • Ensuring the topic contributes to the field: The best thesis topics are those that contribute something valuable and substantive to their disciplines. Your topic should promise to provide insights, solutions, or new understandings that will add to the knowledge base of your field.

How to Refine Your Thesis Topic

  • Seeking feedback from advisors and peers: Regular feedback is invaluable in refining your topic. Advisors can provide perspective on the significance and feasibility of your topic, while peers might offer fresh ideas or pose questions you hadn’t considered.
  • Refining research questions: As you delve deeper into your topic, refine your research questions to ensure they are clear, focused, and answerable within the scope of your study. This might involve narrowing or sometimes slightly broadening the scope of your inquiry.
  • Adjusting the scope of research: Based on feedback and preliminary findings, adjust the scope of your research as needed to ensure that it remains manageable and within the bounds of available resources, time, and academic requirements.

Choosing and refining a thesis topic is a dynamic and iterative process that requires thoughtful consideration, preliminary research, and ongoing adjustments. The journey from a broad idea to a refined research question involves not only identifying a subject that is relevant, original, and manageable but also one that ignites your passion and curiosity. By following these steps and continually seeking feedback, you can ensure that your thesis will be a meaningful and rewarding endeavor.

As a branch of Earth science, there are already a lot of geology research paper topics. However, there are more geological research topics that are yet unexplored.

Geology is that part of science that encompasses the physical structure of the earth. It is concerned with the liquid and solid structure of the earth. It also examines the solid properties of the terrestrial planet and natural satellites like the Moon and Mars.

Before you do that, how do you structure your work?

How to Structure Geology Research Essay

To get the best grades, you need an impeccable structure alongside great academic work. Even if you’re treating controversial geology paper topics, you need to abide by a structure. This structure lets you creatively express yourself. All professionals use these too:

Introduction and Thesis Statement. The introduction lets your readers know the fundamentals of the research. The thesis and introduction must be persuasive as it encompasses the key points which your research will be about. Research Methodology. This includes the methods applied during the research. You can’t write an academic paper or essay without support from books, journals, or professionals in the field. You need to document the means through which you’ve got your work to prove academic integrity. Literature Review. This is where you review different papers, journals, and other existing relevant materials. All these show that you know about the geology topic you want to write about as well as the gap your work seeks to cover. Body. The body of your research paper or essay is where your argument and findings are shared. Here, you must create engaging, even persuasive, arguments with your unique diction. Every point you want to make is unraveled here. Conclusion. In this section, you’ll summarize the results of your findings. You’ll also present your final words and impress your readers with what you’ve researched. Notes and References. As you already know that you can’t write a paper out of the blue, the notes and references page is where you document all the sources used for your research. This must be in concert with the referencing style of your school or faculty. Abstract. This is the final section of your writings although it will appear on the first page. This is because you need to have completed research and writing before writing your abstract. The 100 to 300 words content is a brief overview of everything you researched. It is a simple overview of everything your research is about, including your conclusions.
