If we properly follow certain steps and work around in a structured manner, it is possible to format the PhD thesis in a simple and easy manner. We can split the entire task into ten phases. They can largely be:
- Phase 1: One should have a concrete chosen topic with relevant notes on the topic
- Phase 2: The notes need to be organised at this stage so an outline of the notes should be created
- Phase 3: The outline of the dissertation thesis should be created. It is basically a roadmap which tells how the dissertation has to be written and organised
- Phase 4: Gather and compile the research facts that are supportive of the views and opinions of the researcher. This is important to substantiate the research
- Phase 5: Each university and professor may have specific instructions and guidelines for formatting. The guidelines given by them should be adhered to specifically while maintain the essence of the content.
- Phase 6: These following parts should compulsorily include in the dissertation thesis:
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Body of the thesis( Literature Review)
- Results of the test
- Research Methodology
- Terminology details
- Conclusion
- Bibliography
- List of references
- Appendix
- Phase 7: Create a very strong introduction and conclusion chapter. Add essence to it
- Phase 8: Before writing the final thesis, write a rough draft so that all the changes can be incorporated
- Phase 9: the students should do self-proofreading and editing and also take help and assistance from professional sources if required for the same.
- Phase 10: eventually exclusively complete time should be given to the dissertation so as to come out with satisfactory results
Some keys for writing a strong Introduction
- Have a strong topic, have enough information and attraction to grad the interest of the reader
- There should a thesis statement which includes the main subject and dissertation
- The introduction should give an overview of all that will be discussed in the paper
- It is suggestive that the introduction of the thesis be written in the end, after having completed the rest of the document so that it can give a holistic picture. It also helps to prepare the reader for what to expect in the entire paper
