ABSTRACT

Instructor: Bane-eng, Maridell P.

 Term paper or lab reports should include an abstract page after the title page. An abstract
is a paragraph that summarizes the whole paper (all sections). I would recommend writing the full
paper and then writing the abstract last. This will make things easier. It is a one page part of the
preliminary which includes the following; one sentence situation/background of the study, the
objectives or the problems of the study, the methodology and the salient findings or results.
Developing a complete and solid abstract is very important. Many times, you will be submitting
this abstract of your research to scientific symposiums and conferences so that you can gain
approval to present your research at these venues. Your abstract only needs to be one paragraph.
It should include the goals of the paper, main points you found, results and any discussion of these
main points to your hypothesis, future research needs or final conclusions. Citations are not in the
abstract. The abstract is an abridged version (maximum of 150 words) of the most important
results of the study

Keywords: (maximum number of keywords is five (5)

INTRODUCTION

Situation Analysis
In the Introduction you start out describing a question about what your research is

going to answer. Then you give background literature on all the other studies that have tried to

answer this question or tried to answer questions similar to the one you are doing research on.

Then you briefly state the objectives of your experiments and the type of experiments you

performed.

Towards the end of your Introduction, you specify the goal of your experiments and state

a hypothesis of what you expect to happen during the experiment. Your introduction will be much

longer a minimum of 5 related literatures. (Manimum of 3 pages)

For every organism mentioned you should include its scientific name when it is first

mentioned. This includes the genus name that is capitalized and the species name in lower case.

The scientific name is in italics and in parenthesis. Lab is written in past tense. This lab is on work

that you have already completed.

Objectives of the Study

This part is composed of two (2) sections: The general problem/ objective and the specific

problems/ objectives

Materials and Procedures

It lists down the materials with corresponding units of measure and presented in the order

of use in the conduct of the experiment/ study in paragraph form.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This section involves presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data. Data are broken

down into component parts and presented in the proper order and categories. Presented data must

also be interpreted. This is done by making inferences relevant to the research questions and from

where generalizations are drawn.

Presentation of Findings

Findings may be presented in textual, tabular, graphical/pictorial form or a combination of

these three depending on the appropriateness for such.

In answering every problem statement/ objective of the study, the following parts and

guidelines should be observed:

a. Prefatory information.

Make a one paragraph introduction of the problem.

b. Introduce table/figure/ chart

Make a one -sentence introduction describing the content of the table/ graph/plate

presented.

Presentation of Table

a. Table numbering must use continuous coding in Hindu-Arabic numeral (Table 1, 2,3

etc.)
 b. The table Title must ne written in Title case flush to the left margin. In case of a two

liner title, the first letter in the second line should be aligned to the first letter in the

second line should be aligned to the first letter in the first line (Parallel indention)

Example

Text…………………………………………………………………………………………………
(2 single spaces separate the text and table title)

Table 1. Title of Table is Written in Title Case and Not Printed in Boldface/Italics
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(1 single space separates the table title and table)

Table Heading is not written in boldface; allow some breathing space inside the table

Top and Bottom-Line weight is 1.5 pts

Inside line weight is 1 pt

Legend:
(2 single spaces separate the last line of the table and text)
Text…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Presentation of Figure

a. Figures shall be enclosed in a box, drawn from margin to margin.

b. Needed data, such as percentage/ frequencies shall be evident.

c. Number and title shall be placed below the enclosed figure.

d. Figure numbering must use continuous coding in Hindu-Arabic numeral.

Example

Text…………………………………………………………………………………………………
(2 single spaces separate the text and table title)

Fig. 1. Title of the Figure Using Title Case

Presentation of Plate/Photograph

a. The size of the plate is preferably half page of the paper.

b. The plate shall be drawn from margin to margin
c. Two (2) plates in one page may be allowed.
d. Number and title shall be placed below the enclosed plate.
e. Plate number must be continuing coding in Hindu Arabic numeral.
f. The plate title must be written in Title Case, center alignment.
g. Plate tile must not be written in boldface or italics.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary

This part summarizes the entire study. It is composed of an introductory statement

about the general problem/objective of the study, the specific problems/ objectives, and the

methodology employed- all written in paragraph form. This is immediately followed by the

salient findings (numbered list). Take note that the “findings of the study” is not a separate

heading.

Conclusions

The Conclusion Section draws generalization for the population and circumstances

for which the evidence has been collected. It is composed of an introductory statement

followed by the conclusions in relation to the findings re: the specific problems/ objectives.

The number of conclusions is parallel to the number of specific findings based on the

specific problems/ objectives. These are presented in numbered list form. The conclusions

should not repeat the same words/ statement used in the finding section. No numerical/

statistical presentations are made in this section.

Recommendations

This section offers recommendations based on what the results mean in terms of

existing knowledge, drawing implications for the field or academic discipline represented

by the problem, or the need to further research and policy formulation.

The Recommendation Section is composed on an introductory statement followed

by the recommendations in numbered list form corresponding to the conclusions presented.

More recommendations may be added where necessary and applicable.
