Source: Igliński et al., 2016

8. Figures List (Appendix 9) If figures are included in the study, they should be listed along with the page numbers in the figure list, which will appear on a separate page.

The title of the figure and the source of the figure (if any) should be placed under the figure in the text of the study. (Ex. Figure 2.3: Universal Income Inequality) (Under the title, Source: OECD, 2017). In-text example:

Figure 2.3: Overall primary energy supplies for 2014 fuel shares around the globe

Source: Iea.org, (2016)

2.9 Important Information about Tables and Figures

 Tables and figures should be placed as close as possible immediately after the first mention in the text, provided that they comply with the principles of the page layout. Before the tables and figures, reference should be made to the relevant table or figure.

 All figures and tables and their descriptions should be centered with respect to the text block.

 Tables and figures are assigned the first digit section number (letters in the appendix) and the second number the sequence number of the table (or figure) within the section. (Example: Table 1.2, Figure 3.5, Table A.1, Figure B.5). As in the example, tables, figure words and numbers are written in bold.

 The number and description of each figure is written at the bottom of the figure, and the number and description of each table is centered in the row above the table.

 Multiple tables or figures can be placed on the same page.

 In tables and figures larger than one page, the same table/figure number and description should be written on the second page and between the table/figure number and its description, in parenthesis (continued). (Eg Table 1.1 (continued): Metal contents in wastes, Figure 1.1 (continued): Istanbul's water supply.

 The graphics and pictures given in the report should be accepted as figures and must be numbered and explained.

 Pages that disrupt the opening order of the thesis by increasing the page thickness such as folded page and visual material attached on the page should be given in the appendices section.

2.10 Equations  Equations are written with the equation editor and in accordance with the following rules.  Equations are written at 1.5 line spacing.  6 point spacing should be left before and after the equations.  There are no blank lines before and after the equations. In this case, between the equations and the text, 12 pt above and 12 pt below are left.  Equations are centered aligned to the text block.  Equations are given in sequence starting from 1, provided that the section number is the first number in the relevant section. These numbers are normally (not bold) and are, for example, in the first part (1.1), (1.2), the second part (2.1), (2.2), if necessary, in the form of subexpressions (1.1a) and (1.1b) of the same equation. It is written to the far right of the line where the equation is located.  The equations given in the appendix section are numbered by specifying the section in which they are given. (Example: A.1.1, A.1.2).

2.11 Abbreviations (Appendix 10)

Abbreviations may be used with names or concepts that are commonly used in the text of the study [example: European Union (EU)]. Following the figures and tables pages, a table of abbreviations can be prepared on a separate page. The name or concept should be used in its entirety at least once without using its abbreviation in the text.

2.3. HOW TO CITE SOURCES

Citation shows the sources used in the study in the text and on the references page. You should cite and refer to the work of another author you use within your own work. If citations are not cited, this is considered plagiarism and the thesis/project is considered unsuccessful. The

maximum accepted quote rate is %20 in total and should not exceed 2% from a single source. The accepted form of referral in the Institute is APA.

A plagiarism report must be submitted to the Institute together with the thesis/project and a `Thesis/Project Submission Form`, available at http://www.ciu.edu.tr/en/academic/institute/forms.

2.1.In-text Citations

You may refer to someone else's ideas or work either by repeating the exact words that another author has written (‘quoting’) or by expressing what somebody has written by using your own words (‘paraphrasing’).

The most important point when citing within the study is that the same citation style should be used throughout the study. In-text citations from the beginning to the end of the study should be consistent with a particular style.

Quoting: Place quotation marks (“…”) around the words being taken from another author. Give publication dates (the name of the author, the year of publication of the text being quoted and the page number of the text from which the quote has been taken) in brackets after the second quotation mark. Example: The metaphor “the sun was crying tears from hell” is linked to that of “devilish spawns erupted from under the ground to calm the Gods…” (Neve, 1996, p. 27).

Paraphrasing: Provide publication dates (the name of the author, the year of publication of the text being paraphrased and the number of the page the paraphrasing is based upon) in brackets after the sentence or paragraph in which the ideas written down by somebody else are paraphrased. Example: (Rees, 1998)

If the name of the author is referred to in the text is mentioned, the year of the author’s publication has to be given immediately after the author’s name. Example: Rees (1998) explains…

If the source you are using has 2 authors, you will cite it as (Soyer and Kucuksener, 2018), whereas if the source has 3 authors you will cite it as (Soyer, Kucuksener and Ozgit, 2018). If the source has more than 3 authors, you will in-text cite it as (Soyer et al., 2018).

3.2 References List

The structure of the list of references will differ upon the referencing style chosen APA is the accepted format by our university.

  • The Teaching Writing series publishes user-friendly writing guides penned by authors with publishing records in their subject matter. Blair's practical book gives graduate students the tools they need to successfully plan, write, and defend their thesis or dissertation. Each chapter addresses a rite of passage common to most graduate programs: selecting a methodology, conducting a literature search, carrying out research, analyzing data, and preparing for a thesis defense. Combining years of supervisory experience with up-to-date research, Blair addresses issues important to graduate students that are often left out of these guides, including how to navigate the ethics review process and avoid problems related to academic integrity, such as plagiarism, how to select and prepare for a productive meeting with a supervisor, and how to establish an academic track record by presenting research at conferences and publishing in academic journals. Writing a Graduate Thesis or Dissertation offers much more than its title suggests. It is a thorough and succinct guide to succeeding in graduate school, appropriate for thesis and research methods courses, and a must-read for graduate students across the disciplines. "Like a series of productive meetings with a trusted advisor, each chapter of this text provides practical information and sound insight, thoughtfully organized and generously shared." - Christine Marmé Thompson, Professor of Art Education, School of Visual Arts, Pennsylvania State University "This will become a 'must-have' volume for every graduate student's book shelf, with advice for every step of the thesis journey." - Anne Lavack, Professor of Marketing, School of Business and Economics, Thompson Rivers University "More than simply comprehensive, this work includes information and considerations that are rarely addressed in other guides, including information related to selecting supervisors and alternative forms of research methodologies and format styles." - Adrienne Boulton-Funke, Assistant Professor, Art and Design, Missouri State University Lorrie Blair is a Professor of Art Education at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. With over 25 years post-secondary teaching experience, she has held positions at universities in the United States and Canada. She is active as a supervisor of MA and Ph.D. thesis students and was a recent recipient of the Faculty of Fine Arts Distinguished Teaching Award.

  • The Elements of Inquirycovers the basic guidelines for graduate students doing an investigation or inquiry project. It distils the rubrics necessary for teaching research methods and completing research projects, and gives the student researcher a list of steps to follow to complete any type of inquiry project - including formal research projects such as doctoral dissertations. It was written to support the work of students in an educational leadership doctoral program, but it will also assist the research efforts of college students at any level in any discipline. The book begins by establishing the underlying philosophical concepts upon which all good research is based, preparing students to get down to the "nuts and bolts" of conducting their own research and evaluating the research of others. Fundamental concepts and rules of research are explained both for producers and consumers of social science and educational research. Numerous practical examples illustrate the steps in the research process presented in the text. There are end-of-chapter exercises for students to apply the concepts discussed in the chapter.

  • From Student to Scholar guides graduate students through the "hidden" developmental transition required in writing a dissertation and moving beyond, to become a successful scholar. Identifying common rhetorical challenges across disciplines, author Hjortshoj explains how to accommodate evolving audiences, motivations, standards, writing processes, and timelines. One full chapter is devoted to "writing blocks," and another offers advice to international students who are non-native speakers of English. The text also offers advice for managing relations with advisors and preparing for the diverse careers that PhDs, trained primarily as research specialists, actually enter. On the basis of more than thirty years of consultations with graduate students, this volume is an important addition to graduate thesis seminars and composition courses, as well as an invaluable reference for writing centers, workshops, and learning support centers.

  • A Concise Guide to Writing a Thesis or Dissertationprovides clear, succinct, and intentional guidelines about organizing and writing a thesis or dissertation. Part I provides an overview for writing a thesis or dissertation. It describes the big picture of planning and formatting a research study, from identifying a topic to focusing on writing quality. Part II describes the framework and substance of a research study. It models the pattern generally found in a formal, five-chapter research study. Each chapter of a thesis or dissertation has a specific purpose, and this book focuses on each in an easy-to-follow structure. Chapter One reviews the headings and contents expected in the introduction of a study. Chapter Two provides advice for writing a literature review. Chapter Three discusses what to include when describing the methodology. These first three chapters form the proposal section of a study. Two additional chapters present results (Chapter Four) and provide discussion and conclusions (Chapter Five). Appendices offer resources for instructors and students, including a rubric for evaluating writing, exercises to strengthen skills in APA format, sample purpose statements, a research planning organizer, and a guide for scholarly writing. The book is designed overall to be a practical guide and resource for students for their thesis or dissertation process.

    How to format and submit your thesis or dissertation

    A thesis or dissertation is the culmination of your scholarly work in graduate school submitted as a written document. Most graduate programs at ASU require students to complete a thesis,dissertation or other culminating event. For those required to submit a thesis or dissertation, the Graduate College has specific requirements that must be met for a successful submission. 

    The document that you submit for format approval must be a complete, defense-ready document. This means you should choose your style guide in consultation with your chair, write an abstract that meets the Graduate College guidelines, and thoroughly check your document for consistency, grammar, punctuation, etc. You are required to follow a standard style guide or accepted journal in their field in addition to the ASU Graduate College Format Manual . This manual outlines format requirements for theses and dissertations at ASU.  

    Use the Format Wizard

    To simplify the format process, you should use the Graduate College’s Format Wizard , a helpful tool that generates a Word or LaTeX document that follows ASU’s format standards for theses and dissertations. The Format Wizard will help with formatting the preliminary pages of the document, fixing the margins and setting pagination. Using the tool will result in fewer structural revisions to your document, saving you precious time and effort. 

    Before submitting a thesis, dissertation, or other culminating event to the Graduate College, The defense must be scheduled through MyASU at least 10 business days prior to the desired date. Students and their committee should thoroughly review the document and check for technical and grammatical errors before uploading their document for format review.

    Students should submit the document through their Independent Plan of Study (iPOS) . The document should be uploaded 10 business days prior to the defense. To submit your document, you will log into your IPOS and select the “Format” tab, and then select “Attach Document” to upload your document.  Additionally, students must be enrolled in at least one credit hour during the semester they plan to defend their thesis or dissertation, while working on format revisions. 

    Please do not submit your document to [email protected].  

    Once the format team has received your document, the student will receive a notification through their iPOS on format revisions needed.

    If format revisions are required after the defense, students will need to make these in time to meet the semester’s final revisions format submission and final pass/fail form deadline.

    Once the Graduate College has received a student’s final pass/fail form, a formal advisor will direct them to ProQuest. Students should use their ASU email address to make a ProQuest account. 

    On average, each document will go through the format check process 3-4 times, including a review in ProQuest. Once the student has received the final approval email from ProQuest, they have officially completed the formatting process.

    The Graduate College hosts virtual formatting workshops each semester, including summer term, so be on the lookout for email announcements. 

    Students with questions about formatting their thesis or dissertation can visit the Formatting Your Thesis or Dissertation page of the Graduate College website, email [email protected]   or call 480-965-3521.

    EDUCATION OPPORTUNITES

    The Institute of Graduate Studies and Research has a diverse culture and knowledge level because it has graduate students from 110 different countries. In addition to student diversity, the diversity of international teaching staff can also reveal the difference. As education and research can be carried out in an international environment, the development of different technologies, cultures, knowledge, communication skills and human accessibility can be facilitated. At the same time, high quality, professional and practical training can be provided with investments in laboratories, buildings, smart boards and libraries which Cyprus International University has made. As a result of the publication of the articles in the journals such as SSCI, SCI-Expanded and AHCI lists required for the graduation of the Ph.D. students, the quality of the research-oriented studies is also increasing considerably.

    Submitting your thesis for examination (PhD, EdD, MD, BusD, MLitt, MSc)

    Format of the thesis.

    The thesis must:

    be written in British English, apart from quotations and recognised technical formulae

    be in A4 portrait format

    use one-and-a-half spaced type

    include any photographs or other illustrations scanned into the text

    be saved in the electronic format and naming style specified by your Degree Committee

    Examiners are not expected to edit work. They will deal with errors of fact and typographical errors that affect the meaning of your work, as well as larger structural issues. The extent to which the text has or has not been properly prepared may influence their recommendation concerning the award of the degree. You are therefore advised to check your thesis thoroughly prior to submission to ensure clear, formal British English has been used throughout and that there are minimal typing and/or spelling mistakes.

    How and when to present the thesis for examination

    You must submit an electronic copy of your thesis for examination, and any required accompanying documents, to your Degree Committee by your submission deadline (which can be found under 'Thesis Submission details' on the Academic tile in your CamSIS self-service). You are required to submit your thesis for examination by your deadline even if the date falls over a weekend or holiday period.

    Your Degree Committee should provide you with guidance for electronic submission; please contact them directly if you require any assistance.

    The thesis you submit to your Degree Committee will be the thesis forwarded to the examiners for examination. It is not possible to 'retract submission' or to send a revised copy directly to your examiners. Therefore you should carefully check the file(s) you upload when submitting your thesis.

    Postgraduate students must keep a minimum number of terms of research before they can submit (for example, 9 for the full-time PhD or 15 for the part-time PhD or EdD) unless they have been granted an allowance or exemption of terms . If you attempt to submit too early and have not had an allowance or exemption of terms approved, your thesis submission will not be accepted or will be kept on hold and not forwarded to your examiners until the first day of your 9th (full-time) or 15th (part-time) term.

    Requirements

    You must include the following bound inside your thesis:

    1. A title page displaying:

    the full title of the thesis

    2. A declaration in the preface stating:

    This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the preface and specified in the text.

    It is not substantially the same as any work that has already been submitted before for any degree or other qualification except as declared in the preface and specified in the text.

    It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the [insert relevant] Degree Committee. (For more information on the word limits for the respective Degree Committees see Word Limits and Requirements of your Degree Committee )

    3. An abstract/summary of your thesis

    4. [if applicable] the list of additional materials that were approved for submission alongside the thesis

    You must also submit the following documents (not included inside the thesis):

    Required: One declaration form

    Optional: Research Impact Statement If pandemic, war/conflict, or natural disaster have significantly impacted on your research, you are invited to submit a Research Impact Statement with your thesis using the template provided. The purpose of the statement is for you to describe any restrictions or difficulties experienced in undertaking your research as a result of pandemic, war/conflict, or natural disaster, and to provide details of any alternative arrangements made to complete the work for your thesis. Further details for students and supervisors can be found in the Research Impact Statement guidance  and the Research Impact Statement form can be downloaded here . 

    Inclusion of additional materials

    Students other than those in the Faculty of Music must seek permission through their  CamSIS Self Service page if they wish to submit additional materials for examination alongside their thesis. Additional materials are integral to the thesis but in a format that cannot be easily included in the main body of the thesis (for example, 3D graphics). You should refer to the ' Policy on the inclusion of additional materials with a thesis ' before making an application to include additional materials. This process should be initiated prior to the thesis submission. If a thesis is submitted with additional materials and without permission to include them, it will be held by the Degree Committee until approval is confirmed.

    Please bear in mind that if you are granted permission to submit additional materials, you are required to upload the same materials to the University repository, Apollo , when you submit your approved thesis  post-examination (doctoral candidates only). Therefore, the inclusion of additional material that contains uncleared third-party copyright or sensitive material may affect the access level that is most appropriate for your thesis.

    Submitting a revised thesis

    If you are resubmitting your thesis following a viva outcome of being allowed to revise and resubmit the thesis for examination for a doctoral degree, you need to follow the same procedure as for the original thesis submission .

    What happens following submission of the thesis for examination 

    When you submit your thesis for examination the Degree Committee will check the submission, acknowledge receipt, and inform Student Registry you have submitted. The Student Registry will update your CamSIS record.

    The Degree Committee will forward your thesis to your examiners. If you have not received confirmation of the date of your viva (oral examination) within six weeks of submitting your thesis, or if you have any questions with regard to your thesis at this stage, you should contact your Degree Committee. 

    Your Examiners should not ask you for a printed copy of your thesis or other material in advance of your viva (oral examination). If they do, please seek advice from your Degree Committee.

    • Formatting Your Thesis
    • NORMA Requirements
    • Copyright & Ownership

    *Note: It is no longer a requirement for a hard copy of your dissertation to be submitted, an electronic copy submitted through Moodle is sufficient.

    If you want to create a hard copy of your thesis - see the NCI style guidelines below:

    • Your thesis or dissertation should be hard bound in University Blue with Gold lettering.
    • The spine of your bound thesis or dissertation should give your name, the degree for which it is presented and the year in which the degree is conferred.
    • The cover should give the title of your thesis or dissertation, your name, the degree for which it is presented and the year in which the degree is conferred.

    thesis submission form ciu

    NCI requires that once your thesis or dissertation has been submitted and approved by your school or supervisor, an electronic version is deposited into the NCI Library repository NORMA . The electronic copy you submit via Moodle (Turnitin), will be generated into a PDF copy, arranged by your school or programme coordinator, and passed onto the Library to be deposited. If you have any security settings on your soft copy, please disable these before you upload it to Moodle.

    You are required to complete and sign a Submission of Thesis and Declaration form (find below) and attach this to all copies (both bound and electronic) of your thesis or dissertation.

    NCI, the Library and NORMA make no claim of ownership of student theses or dissertations; however, the college retains a non-exclusive license to make copies of theses or dissertations as needed for the academic or archival purpose of the institution. This included providing open access to the work on the internet. If necessary to protect legitimate proprietary interests (such as patent rights), students may request to temporarily delay the public display of their dissertation or thesis.
