The design of scientific papers of any complexity without fail includes the preparation of a title page. The abstract, despite its small volume and loyalty to the general requirements for registration, is no exception. According to the title page, an initial assessment takes place, which may well become a decisive factor in the defense. Therefore, writing a title should be taken seriously. To do this, to help students, the methodological department of the educational institution provides a manual with a list of requirements for the design of the work in general and the title page, in particular. If there is no such manual, then on this issue you should consult with the teacher who provides scientific guidance to the project. In the event that this did not bring results either, or the student was given relative freedom in the design of the work, you can use the recommendations below, which reflect the generally accepted standard of design.
General requirements for the design of the title page
Like the entire abstract, the title page is a sheet of A4 paper. Font - similar to the font of the text of the work. Size, line spacing, case and other aspects of formatting may vary in different blocks of information. In total there are four such blocks - upper, central, right and lower. When designing them, it is important to comply not only with the individual requirements for each block, but also correctly place them relative to each other. Each block should be in its place and in harmony with the rest. Another important point is that primary information (for example, the title of the topic and the full name of the author) should not be “drowned” in the details of a secondary plan. If there is too much text, then it is better to highlight important parts additionally.
Upper block
The first block is the top one. It contains information about the university or other educational institution, faculty and department within which the study was conducted. This block is formatted in the center of the line. Size - 14, one and a half interval. At the same time, the name of the educational institution, unlike the name of the faculty and department, is typed in capital letters and is taken in quotation marks. Between the name of the educational institution and the faculty, an indent of one empty line is made. There is no indent between the lines with the name of the faculty and department.

central block
The central block is the most important in its content - it contains information about the research topic and the corresponding scientific discipline. It is formatted in the center of the line and sheet and consists of three positions. On the first line, the type of work is written in capital letters - an abstract. The line below, after the words "by discipline", indicates the name of the subject. One more line below, “on the topic” is followed by the full name of the topic of the work. All lines (except the first, of course) begin with a small letter. Size - 14. For the word "abstract" can be used and 16. Single spacing. In addition, the title of the work can also be indicated in capital letters.
in the discipline "Forensic Psychiatry"
on the topic "Forensic psychiatric data as a source of forensically significant information in the investigation of violent death"
right block
The third block is below the central one by seven to nine line indents. Its task is to convey to the reader information about the author of the work and its supervisor. The font of the block is typed in 14 pt. The interval can be either single or one and a half. As you can see from the name of the block, it is placed on the right side of the sheet. There are two options for how to do this. The first option is to simply align the text to the right.

The second option is to move the left margin two-thirds to the right and then align it to the left.

bottom block
The bottom block is the smallest. It contains only the name of the city where this educational institution is located, as well as the year in which the abstract was submitted for defense. Size, as elsewhere - 14. Formatting in the center. As in the case of the right block, the bottom one has two design options: in one line or in two.
Option 1:
Vorkuta 2015
Option 2:
Other requirements
As you can see from the samples, three of the four title page blocks are formatted in the center. This makes the requirements for the margins of the title page rather conditional. However, such requirements exist and may not be of any significance, for example, when flashing a paper version of a work. Here are the requirements:
Top field - 15 mm.
Bottom field - 30 mm.
Right margin - 15 mm.
Left margin - 20 or 25 mm.
Conclusion
The correct design of the abstract is not just a formal necessity, but the same part of the assignment and therefore requires a responsible approach, like the study itself. It is important to remember this, because for a careless attitude to design, you can pay with a good grade.
With an oral presentation, everything is simple. You prepare a short summary or plan, then speak to an audience. You don't have to show the posts to anyone. A written report is a completely different matter. The format of the report is similar to that of an abstract. In many universities, the requirements for the design of both papers are identical.
Please note: unlike the abstract, which is drawn up in accordance with GOST, there are no clear rules for preparing a report. This does not mean that you have the right to write by hand, score on the title page, bibliography and introduction. It only means that each educational institution - secondary or higher - has its own regulations and rules. Moreover, each teacher is free to set his own requirements for the volume, structure, type of work.
Report Structure
We have already given the exact and most complete structure in the last article -. Let's repeat ourselves:
- Title page;
- Table of contents;
- Introduction;
- Main part;
- Conclusion;
- Bibliography.
Each part of the report starts on a new page. Including paragraphs and chapters (if any) of the main part.
The structure may be different. For example, if the teacher requires only the main part, you can leave only the title page. A bibliography does not always need to be written, but in any case, you should record the sources from which you took the information.
Should you write by hand?
10-15 years ago, teachers were loyal to handwritten works. If desired, it was possible to draw up manually even the coursework. Times have changed. Finding a computer is not difficult at all, and printing is inexpensive. Therefore, even if the teacher does not specifically require printed work, do not make him suffer by parsing your handwriting. Even if you come from a remote province where technology hasn’t reached, and you don’t know how to work in Word (I wonder if this happens?), Contact a special company that prints student papers, ask a friend or neighbor, finally order a report from a student lancer.
How to format a report in printed form?
So, open Word, select the Times New Roman font and start. For regular text, the font size can be 12-14, between lines we set the interval to 1.5-2.
The size of the fields depends on the specific requirements. Typically, the width of the left margin is 30 mm, the rest - 20 mm. If there are no clear rules for formatting a report, use the default margin sizes.
Headings are sized 14-16. You can format them automatically using standard Word tools (setting "Heading 1", "Heading 2", etc.). Do not put dots at the end of headings!
Page numbering and footnotes are also made using standard program tools. All pages are numbered. The title page is considered the first page.
Formatting the table of contents of the report
Whether it is necessary to fill the space between the title of the part and the page number with dots, check with the teacher. If there are no clear requirements, you can use dots.
Bibliography
Even a schoolboy knows how to write a report without a bibliography. With the list of references, everything is much more complicated. There are clear requirements here:
- An author's book (including one written by a group of authors) is designed as follows:
Puchinsky V.K. Civil process of foreign countries. - M.: "Zertsalo", 2008. - 304 p.
- A book edited by someone (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) is formatted as follows:
Thus, first we put the title, then the name of the editor, city, publisher, year and number of pages.
- Publication in a magazine/newspaper is made out as follows:
Komkova E.G. Diplomatic culture in US-Canada relations / E.G. Komkova // World economy and international relations. - 2014. - No. 7. - S. 98-106.
- Internet publishing can also be used. Form it like this:
Labor law [Electronic resource]. Wikipedia.URL:https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_ right
That is, first we indicate the name, then the name of the resource and the exact address.

The title page indicates the title of the work, the full name of the student and the group, the full name of the teacher who checks and evaluates the abstract. The topic of the message can be formulated independently, in agreement with the teacher.
The title of the work is formatted as follows:
Message on the discipline "Mathematical methods for processing economic information" on the topic: "……"
The message text is printed on one side of the page; footnotes and notes are printed on the same page they refer to (with 1 spacing, in a smaller font than the text). The main text should be accompanied by illustrative material (drawings, photographs, diagrams, diagrams, tables, programs). If the main part contains quotations or references to statements, it is necessary to indicate the number of the source according to the list given at the end of the abstract, and the page in square brackets at the end of the quotation or reference.
A message is a summary in writing of the contents of the books and documents read; report on the results of the study of a scientific issue; a report on a specific topic, covering its issues based on literary and other sources. The purpose of writing a message is to deepen knowledge on a specific problem, to gain skills in working with scientific and popular science literature. Work on the message requires, as a rule, at least a month.
When working on a problem, you need to:
Isolate the problem
to independently study the problem on the basis of primary sources;
give an overview of the literature used;
Present the material consistently and conclusively;
2. Mandatory structural elements of the message:
2. The text of the message must contain:
rationale for the chosen topic;
· comparative analysis of literature on the problem;
Presenting one's own point of view on the problem;
· conclusions and offers.
3. The list of sources used must be drawn up in accordance with GOST and may contain not only the names of books, magazines, newspapers, but also any sources of information (for example, information from the Internet, information from television and radio programs, as well as private messages of any specialists expressed in their personal conversations with the author of the abstract).
The message is presented in an accessible scientific (popular science) language in a relatively concise form using lightweight syntactic constructions. Such constructions can become a kind of plan for an abstract article: “The article under consideration raises a number of questions ... The author emphasizes that ... The problem is considered in more detail ... Different points of view are analyzed ... In conclusion, it should be noted that ...”, etc.
When scoring a message, the following components are taken into account:
design (compliance with the standard, design aesthetics, availability of illustrative material, etc.);
protection of the message (orientation in the text, answers to questions, etc.).
The notice shall be submitted in printed form and on electronic media.

Instruction
Abstract text. The most important thing is to respect the size of the page margins (left 35 mm, right - 10 mm, top and bottom - 20 mm each), line spacing (one and a half) and font (Times New Roman, 14). Do not start new paragraphs from a new page, it is better that they go one after another without interruptions.
Also, do not capitalize paragraph titles, as they should be written in the normal way. Never put a period at the end of a title.
Meaning and conclusions. It is necessary to highlight the main concepts in bold, italic or underline for the easiest perception of the text. Conclusions are drawn up at the end of each paragraph with a generalizing paragraph, which should begin with the words: “Thus ..”, “Summing up what has been said ...”, “That is, we can say that ...”, “Summarizing, it should be noted that...”, “So, we came to the conclusion that...”.

- Rules for writing a school essay
Those who study at any educational institutions are faced with what needs to be taken from time to time. This is a good way to demonstrate your knowledge. It is very important that the one who writes it knows how to format it correctly. It depends on the assessment of the knowledge and skills of the student.
Instruction
Create a title page. Above you must write the name of the educational organization. In the middle of the page, write the word "Abstract" in capital letters. On the next line - the full name of the topic that will be disclosed in it. A little lower on the right edge is the surname and initials of the work being done, below is the surname of the teacher who will check this essay. On the very last line in the middle, you need to indicate the city and year of the work. Write a title on the next page. It should include page numbers for individual chapters.
Justify the choice of this topic in the introduction. This is the next page. It is necessary to prove the correctness of the chosen topic, as well as the theoretical and applied significance of this issue. It is important to explain why the author chose this topic.
State the main part according to the plan. You need to do this consistently and in your own words. Usually the main part consists of 12-15 pages. In this section, it is necessary to reflect your attitude to the issue raised and ways to solve it. This section should contain several chapters. And each next chapter should start on a new page, no matter where the previous one ended.
Justify the good quality of your work in the conclusions. It is also called the final part. In this part of the abstract, it is necessary to briefly summarize the material presented, draw attention to the importance of the raised problem, and encourage action to be taken to solve it.
On a separate page, you must indicate references to the literature that was used to prepare this abstract. First, encyclopedias and reference books are mentioned, then - books on the topic of the abstract, and lastly, newspaper and magazine articles are written.
Many first-year students have problems with the correct design of a report or abstract. Very often, having received the task to write an essay, the student thinks about how to arrange the title page. The key to a good mark is not only the text of the abstract itself, but also an impeccably composed title page. Since the abstract is a scientific work, its design should be at a high level. First of all, the title page should look neat. Further, on the left side of the sheet, we leave a place for binding. Indents must be done on all pages. It will be better if you take an indentation of three centimeters on the left, two on the top and bottom, and one and a half centimeters on the right side.
How to arrange the title page of the abstract?
Let's move on to choosing the size and font. The normal font for text is twelve. However, for the title, we need to choose a large font. As a rule, by standard we use TimesNewRoman. Next, you need to highlight the name in bold or italics. When choosing a creative topic, you can make the title original using different styles, while it is better to consult with your teacher in advance. When writing a serious topic, the standard design without any frills will be right.
How to properly format the title page of the abstract? To give the title page a beautiful look, you can make a frame. It is best to choose a frame that is voluminous or with drawings, but in a classic style. The next step is to enter text. There is a government standard for title page formatting. However, it happens that higher educational institutions set their own standards regarding its compilation. To properly format the title page of your essay, it is better to take a sample from the department or from the teacher. The top text should be written in the standard font - Times New Roman. Its size is fourteen. Then we highlight the sentence in bold and align in the middle. The line spacing must be one.
The name of the faculty should be written in the center of the page. Usually the name of the faculty is written at the top. Next, step back down and write the word "abstract" in capital letters. Below we indicate the words “by discipline” and the name of the subject, and on the next line the word “topic” and the name of the work performed. We retreat down and on the right we write the details of the student and his teacher, including the mark for the abstract and leave a line for signatures. At the bottom of the sheet in the center is the name of your city, and at the bottom - the year of delivery of your work.
As a rule, reports begin to be asked from school. It is from the title page that one gets acquainted with the content of the report. Therefore, its design must be neat and correct. It is mandatory to indicate information about the educational institution, the topic of the completed report, the name of the student, and also write the year and locality. Let's take a closer look at how to properly format the title page of the report. Be sure to use large font.
At the top we write the name of our school or university, for example, "Secondary school No. 12 of the Ryazan municipality." Any abbreviation must be deciphered. This is usually done in capital letters. Go to the central part of the page and indicate the topic of the work. To do this, first write the phrase “report on the topic” and on the next line capitalize the title itself, for example, “Healthy lifestyle”. We retreat down and on the right indicate the last name and first name of the author, class, as well as the full name of the teacher. At the bottom of the page, indicate the date of writing the report, and below the city with a capital letter.
A correctly designed title page of the work testifies to the student's attitude to his project. The title page is the first page of your project, but it is never numbered. Before proceeding with its compilation, the standards of the educational institution and the teacher should be taken into account. At the top, in the middle of the page, write the name of your school. A little lower we indicate the name of the work performed.
Having indented down the middle of the page, indicate the name of your project, including the name of the subject. Remember that when designing the title page, the title of the topic is written without quotes. Next, go down and on the right side indicate the name of the faculty, your group or class and the details of the author. Just below the initials of the head of the word "checked (a)". If you do not know how to format the title page correctly, see the example on the sample.
At the bottom of the page, in the center, indicate your city of residence. On the next line, write the date of the task. It must be borne in mind that the word "year" is not indicated on the sheet. When filling out the title page, never put a dot at the end of the sentence. The only exception is the title of the work, which consists of several sentences. However, after the last sentence, we do not put a full stop, respectively.
Coursework is one of the defining forms of a student's report on a particular subject. The rules for its registration in each educational institution may differ. But there are generally accepted standards for its design. The title page is drawn up on A4 format with a font size of fourteen. The font should be standard - TimesNewRoman. Before you start filling in the data on the page, you need to indent: one centimeter on the right, three on the left, and two centimeters on the top and bottom.
Translated from Latin, the title page means "inscription", "title". This sheet indicates information about the educational institution, faculty, topic of the course work, subject, details of the student and his supervisor, as well as the locality and year of preparation of the work. The top line is filled with capital letters, bold and centered. The title of the topic of the course work is also written in the middle, but with a large font size and always in capital letters. Do not put a dot at the end of the sentence. If the sentence is long, it can be written on two lines.
We write data about the student at the bottom right, aligning to the left. The student's name is written in the genitive case. Skipping one line, indicate the initials of the supervisor or teacher. The name of the leader is written in the nominative case. To enter this data, we use a font size of fourteen. And finally, at the bottom of the page, we indicate the locality and the year of delivery of our work, aligning it in the center.
