Thesis Writing – IV (Appendix and Index)

Appendix

Appendix is placed after Bibliography.

The questionnaire, interview schedule, sample information etc. is incorporated in Appendix.

If there are more than one Appendix, each should be given a letter like Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.

All appendices must have page numbers.

The heading APPENDIX should appear centred between the text margins 1½" from the top of the page. The font and point size should be same as those used for chapter titles.

Index

Index follows the Appendix. Index is given at the end of the thesis. It helps the reader to locate a topic or sub-topic in the thesis easily. The Index is to be arranged alphabetically. Index is of two types: i) Subject Index; ii) Author Index.
