GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF THESIS AND

DISSERTATION

1 | P a g e

INTRODUCTION

Your thesis will be among the most important

pieces of work that you would ever write in your life. Its

quality is a reflection not only on you, but also on to

CUCMS. Therefore, this document produced by Centre

for Graduate Studies, Research and Commercialization

(CGSRC) is aimed at helping you to produce the best

theses possible which would also be uniform with other

these produced by students of this university.

The thesis should be written in good scientific

English because it will be referred to by future students

and researchers in your area of work. It is worthwhile to

consider sending your final draft to a proof reader to

ensure high quality of writing.

These instructions take precedence over any

guidelines in your chosen style manual. Follow all

instructions as closely as possible; any deviations must

be approved by the Dean of CGSRC.

Reminder

i. Beginning of each chapter, except

for references and appendices,

must begin 5.0 cm from top edge

of the page.

ii. Table and figures must follow the

specifications set out in 1.2.8 and1.2.9.

iii. The last paragraph on the page

must have at least two full lines of

text, if not; it should begin on the

next page.

iv. The last word in the last line on

the page must be followed by ahyphen.

v. Each page must contain at least

one line of text.

permitted between chapter headings)

v. list of tables and illustrations

vi. footnotes

vii. references (note: 2.0 spacing between

entries)

viii. appendix

1.2.5 Paragraphing and Line Spacing

The first line of paragraph should begin from the

left margin. Subsequent paragraphs should have

the first line indented 6 spaces or 1.25 cm from

the left margin. Use the tab key for consistency.A heading that appears as a last line on a page

will not be accepted. There should be a

minimum of two lines of a paragraph at the

bottom of the page under the heading.

1.2.6 Page Numbering

Small Roman numerals (i, ii, iii …) are used for

the preliminary pages (all pages before the

introductory chapter). The Title Page is counted

but not numbered. Therefore, the numeral ‘ii’ is

the first number that will be printed and will

1.2.8 Tables

Tables must be accurate and easy to read, and

care is required in spacing, ruling, arrangement

of headings, and placement with respect to the

text. They are used to supplement the text, and

therefore should be within the text or continue

on the following page.

Numbering

Tables should be numbered with an Arabic

numeral and given titles, even though there may

be very few tables in the thesis/dissertation. The

chapter and order in which the tables are

mentioned in the text determine the numbering.For instance, if Chapter 3 has four tables, the

tables should be labelled as Table 3.1, Table 3.2

and so on. All references to a table in the text

should be by number.

Position

Ideally, each table should come immediately

after the first reference to it. However, it is best

to finish the paragraph of the text in which the

reference occurs before inserting the table. If a

table cannot be accommodated in the space


16/70


DISSERTATION

8 | P a g e

remaining on a given page, continue the text to

make a full page and place the table at the top of

the next page if it is still within the same

subtopic.

If a table appears in the middle of a text

page, three line spacing (3.0) should be left

above table number and below table/notes (i.e.,

the table number is typed on the 4 fourth line

following the text, and the text is continued on

the fourth line below the bottom rule or the

table's notes).

Size and Shape

A table may occupy the full width of the page orless than the full width. In either case, each table

must be centred horizontally on the page.

Width

If a table is too wide for the page, it should be

turned length-wise (i.e., use the landscape

format), and placed horizontally in centre of

page, however, within the prescribed margins.

No text should be placed on a page containing a

broadside table. The page number appears in its


17/70


DISSERTATION

9 | P a g e

usual place, at the bottom of the page, not the

table.

Font size

Ideally the 12-point font size is to be used.

However, the 10-point font size may be used for

content inside the tables if necessary. For any

texts outside the table like table number,

caption, title and notes, the 12-point font size

should be used.

Continued Tables

Long tables may be continued from page to

page. The table number and title are to beplaced at the beginning of the table; only the

table number is given in the succeeding pages,

for example, "Table 2 - Continued ." Ordinarily,

the column headings are repeated on every page

including in a broadside table.

Title

Each table must have a title. Place the table

number above the table, and centre both; place

the title after the table number, centred and

single-spaced, spanning the width of the table.


18/70


DISSERTATION

10 | P a g e

Leave one single line space between the title and

the table, and between table and notes.

Notes

There are three kinds of notes that are placed

below the table:

i. A general note which qualifies, explains or

provides information relating to the table as a

whole and ends with an explanation of

abbreviations, symbols and the like, designated

by the word Note., italicized and followed by a

period, for example:

Note. All significant three-wayinteractions were omitted. M=match

process; N= non-match process.

ii. A specific note which refers to a particular

column, row or individual entry: specific notes

are indicated by superscript lowercase letters (a,

b, c) and shouldbegin with superscript a; the superscripts should

be ordered from left to right across the table by

rows, starting at the top left; different tables

require their own specific notes (whenever

needed). For example:


19/70


DISSERTATION

11 | P a g e

an = 25

b This participant did not complete trials.

iii. A probability note which indicates the results

of tests of significance. Asterisks are usually used

to identify probability values such as:

* p < .05

** p < .05 two-tailed

Notes to a table should use the 12-point font

size and should be ordered in the

following sequence: general notes, specific notes

and probability notes. Each type of note shouldbegin from the same margin with the table on a

new line and possibly justified. For example:

Note. The participants’ responses were:a

n = 25.b

n = 42.

* p < .05. ** p < .01.

1.2.9 Figures

Figures are illustrative materials, which include

drawings, paintings, photographs, charts, graphs

and maps. The numbering, position, size, shape

and width of figures are similar to those

specified for tables. However, the number of the

figure should be placed below the figure, at the

left margin.

1.2.10 Oversized Material

Reducing Oversized Material to Standard

ABSTRACT

The effects of selective timber extraction on wildlife

communities were studied in a hill dipterocarp forest at

Nanga Gaat in Kapit Division of Sarawak. The main study

area was systematically surveyed for one year before it

was logged and for another year immediately after

logging. Logging activity in the area resulted in almost

54% tree loss with another 13% being damaged. Species

compositon of the forest was almost unchanged, but

tree density was reduced by more then half. The

changes in the diversity and density of primates, some

other mammals, and birds following logging were

documented: some species declined in number orbecame locally extinct, some remained relatively stable,

others increased, and a few new species came into the

logged area. The general trend is for the edge or

coloniser species to replace those species which depend

on undisturbed forest and which cannot survive

elsewhere. All the primates present in the main study

area declined in density after logging. The Borneangibbons not only decline in density but also in average

number of individuals in the group. Three squirrel

species declined in density immediately after logging

while four other species increased one year after

logging. The density of two treeshrew species and three

DISSERTATION

45 | P a g e

ungulate species also declined after logging. Small

sample sizes and the effect of hunting might have

contributed to the observed results. In birds, the effects

of logging was more variable within and between

species, feeding guilds, and sites. The only common

trend was the decline in density of specialist feeding

birds after logging, while the generalists increased -

some many fold over their pre-logging densitu. While

guidelines are being drawn by the government

authorities towards sustainable loggging, it is believed

that a system of totally protected areas and large

undisturbed areas within concessions are needed to

ensure continued survival of the fauna.

ABSTRAK

Kesan pembalakan berpilih terhadap komuniti hidupan

liar telah dikaji di sebuah hutan dipterokap bukit di

Nanga Gaat, Bahagian Kapit, Sarawak. Kawasan utamakajian ditinjau secara sistematik bermula setahun

sebelum ia dibalak sehingga setahun selepas aktiviti

pembalakan tamat. Pembalakan di kawasan tersebut

mengakibatkan kehilangan hampir 54% jumlah pokok

dan kerosakan terhadap 13% yang lain. Komposisi

spesies hutan hampir tidak beruhah, tetapi kepadatan

pokok berkurangan lebih dari separuh. Perubahankepelbagaiman dan kepadatan primat, beberapa spesies

mamalia lain dan burung selepas pembalakan telah

didokumenkan: beberapa spesies berkurangan atau

pupus di peringkat tempatan, beberapa spesies lain

tidak berubah, bberapa spesies pula bertambah, dan

beberapa spesies baru berhijrah ke kawasan tersebut.

Tren umum ialah spesies pinggiran atau yang menjajahmenggantikan spesies yang memerlukan hutan yang

terganggu dan yang tidak boleh hidup di tempat lain.

Kepadatan kesemua primat di kawasan kajian

berkurangan selepas pembalakan. Ungka Borneo tidak

hanya berkurangan dari segi kepadatan malah dari segi

bilangan individu di dalam kumpulan. Kepadatan tiga

spesies tupai berkurangan tetapi kepadatan empat

spesies lagi meningkat selepas pembalakan. Kepadatan

dua spesies tupai muncung (treeshrew ) dan tiga spesies

ungulat menurun selepas pembalakan. Saiz sampel

yang kecil dan kesan aktiviti memburu mungkin telah

mempengaruhi hasil kajian. Kesan pembalakan

terhadap burung adalah lebih pelbagai di dalam dan

antara spesies, kumpulan pemakan, dan tempat. Tren

umum ialah kemerosotan kepadatan pemakan khusus

berikutan pembalakan manakala kepadatan pemakan

am meningkat, sesetengahnya berlipat kali ganda

kepadatan sebelum pembalakan. Walaupun garis

panduan ke arah pembalakan mampan sedang

disediakan oleh pihak kerajaan, adalah dipercayau

bahawa sebuah sistem kawasan-kawasan terlindungdan kawasan-kawasan tidak terganggu yang luas di

dalam kawasan konsesi pembalakan wajar diwujudkan

untuk memastikan kemandirian fauna yang berterusan.
