Guidelines

a. The entire research proposal should be printed in an 8.5” x 11” bond paper. The left margin
should have a measurement of 1 ½” throughout to accommodate a space for binding, while the
top, bottom, and right margins should all have 1” margin.
b. The research proposal's body should be in Times New Roman, size 12, and double-spaced—
except for long quotations and references, which are single-spaced.
c. Page numbers should be at the bottom, half an inch from the edge of the paper.
d. The first page of the main text, which is Chapter One, should start as Page 1. For the abstract,
the page number should be "i" or "ii" depending on the number of pages, followed by the table
of contents, which also uses the same number system as a pagination. So for example if the
abstract ends with "ii", the table of contents will have a pagination of "iii".
