Major Sections of the paper

Abstract And Title
The title should be written in 18 font size with bold letters. Abstract should be within 150 to 200 words with
keywords. All other part of the body will follow 12 size fonts.
Main Document
The principal divisions of the manuscript should appear in the following order: body of the article, references,
footnotes and appendices. The body of the article begins immediately on page 1. The title of the paper should
appear at the top of this first page. It should be centered, bold-faced, and in all capital letters. Number all pages,
including those with references, appendices, tables, and figures. All main body paragraphs should be indented.
Headings
Main headings should be used to designate the major sections of an article. Within the main body of the paper, the
major headings typically include such things as INTRODUCTION, METHOD, RESULTS, and DISCUSSION.
Supporting material, such as references, tables, and appendices are also treated as major headings. In all cases,
major headings should be centered, bold-faced, and typed in all capital letters. Example: METHOD
Secondary headings should be typed flush with the left margin, in title case (small letters with major words

with a standard paragraph indention, be typed in sentence case (small letters with only the initial word capitalized),
followed by a period, and should be bold. The text should follow on the same line.
Example:
Manager sample. Respondents consisted of a random sample of 300 managers who worked full time at a large
manufacturing facility...

Variables
The names of constructs and variables should be expressed using ordinary words; in general, do not use
unconventional abbreviations, acronyms, or code names. For industry accepted acronyms, please spell out the
term initially then use acronyms in subsequent references.
Example:
“Recently, research related to Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) has increased. SME literature….” Be sure to use the
same name for each variable in your text, tables, and figures.
Tables and Figures
Tables and figures have to be placed in the manuscript where ever they are required.
References
Citations
Giving proper credit to the sources of original ideas and previous work is an important aspect of good scholarship.
Inappropriate or inaccurate citations do not do justice to the authors cited and can be misleading to readers.
Citations should be made in the text by enclosing the cited authors' names and the year of the work cited in
parentheses.
Example:
Several studies (Ferris & Kacmar, 1992; Malhotra & Bazerman, 2008; Morrison, 1993a, 1993b) support this
conclusion. Please note the use of alphabetical order and ampersands. Also note that two or more works by the
same author (or by an identical group of authors) published in the same year are distinguished by "a," "b," etc.,
added after the year.
Citations to the source of a direct quotation must give a page number or numbers; these follow the date of
publication and are separated from it by a colon. Example: Adams has said that writing a book is "a long and
arduous task" (1974: 3). Also cite page numbers when you paraphrase or summarize specific arguments or
findings of authors. If a work has two authors, give both names every time the work is cited in the text. If a work
has between two and six authors, list all authors the first time it is cited, then use "et al."
Example:
Emotional exhaustion is related to work attitudes (Cropanzano, Rupp, & Byrne, 2003). (First citation)
... exhaustion was also related to job performance (Cropanzano et al., 2003). (Subsequent citation)
For more than six authors, use the "et al." form even for the first citation. But the matching reference at the end of
the article should include a complete list of the authors.
Referencing a quotation
Indeed, one researcher commented that “technological innovations have saved or extended the lives of many
patients” (Lumby, 2001, p. 44).
Citing a source within a source
Where your source quotes or refers to another source, for example Unsworth refers to previous work by Halliday
on linguistics, the citation might read thus:

(Halliday, 1987, cited in Unsworth, 2004, p. 15)

Only Unsworth will appear in the Reference list at the end of your assignment
Referencing an idea
The leading medical cause of Aboriginal mortality is due to circulatory system disease. Other important causes of
death include diseases of the respiratory system and injury or poisoning (Anderson, 1999; Saggers & Gray, 1999;
Thomson, 1995).
OR
Anderson (1999), Thomson (1995), and Saggers and Gray (1999) all state that the leading cause of Aboriginal
mortality is due to circulatory system disease, and that other important causes of death include diseases of the
respiratory system and injury or poisoning.

Reference list
Your reference list should be ordered alphabetically by author and then chronologically by year of publication.
