• The title of the thesis
• The student鈥檚 name and Unit* followed by "香蕉视频, Montreal"
• The month and year the thesis was submitted
• The following statement: "A thesis submitted to 香蕉视频 in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of....鈥�
• The universal copyright notice 鈥溌┾�� followed by the student鈥檚 name and the year the thesis was submitted
• Students can request permission to add the official McGill logo to their thesis cover page by submitting this webform

If the language of the thesis is neither English nor French (only allowed for specific language Units) then a third abstract in the language of the thesis is required.

Abstracts in English and French are mandatory and must be text only, i.e. no images, special characters (apart from the West European character set excluding the 鈥溑掆�� and 鈥溑撯��), chemical or mathematical formulae, or special formatting (e.g. lists, tables). Abstracts have a maximum limit of 4000 characters.

• Among other acknowledgements, the student is required to declare the extent to which assistance (paid or unpaid) has been given by members of staff, fellow students, research assistants, technicians, or others in the collection of materials and data, the design and construction of apparatus, the performance of experiments, the analysis of data, and the preparation of the thesis (including editorial help).
• In addition, it is appropriate to recognize the supervision and advice given by the thesis supervisor(s) and advisors.

A doctoral thesis must clearly state听the elements of the thesis that are considered original scholarship and distinct contributions to knowledge.

• Contributions of the student to each chapter must be explicitly stated.
• Contributions of any co-authors to each chapter must be explicitly stated.听

Clearly state听the rationale and objectives of the research.

The comprehensive review of the literature must sufficiently demonstrate the student鈥檚 knowledge of and expertise in their research areas and should be broad enough to apply to each research question in the thesis. The review of the literature can additionally include various types of content, such as:

• A review providing a reader who is relatively less familiar with the research topic (e.g., an internal/external member of an oral defence committee with adjacent but not direct expertise) an introduction to the general domain.
• An explanation of the overall rationale for how and why the subsequent studies were conducted. For example, the literature underlying the research questions must be sufficiently discussed.
• A review of fundamental theories underlying the subsequently presented work, or to explain why certain approaches were not taken in the study(ies) presented.

The literature review must be in line with disciplinary expectations. The review can be incorporated in the Introduction chapter, addressed in a standalone chapter, or distributed across multiple chapters.

In a traditional thesis, the body of the thesis should encompass sections on:

• Methodology
• Research findings

In a manuscript-based thesis:

• Each chapter represents a full manuscript identical to the published or submitted version (except for font/size).
• The chapter includes the full manuscript in its entirety (including the reference list and diagram/figure list).
• Doctoral students must include the text of a minimum of two manuscripts published, submitted or to be submitted for publication.
• Master鈥檚 students must include the text of one or more manuscripts published, submitted or to be submitted for publication.

Between manuscripts, students must include a bridging text of 1-3 pages to show how the manuscripts relate to each other and how they fit within the bigger picture.

The discussion of findings must be in line with disciplinary expectations. A comprehensive discussion is expected to be a minimum of 10 pages, double-spaced for doctoral students and a minimum of 5 pages, double-spaced for Master鈥檚 students (including figures, images, and tables). It pertains to the entirety of a thesis. The discussion of findings should provide an final, overarching summary of study themes, limitations, and future directions.

In the case of a manuscript-based thesis, the comprehensive discussion should encompass all of the chapters of the thesis and should not be a repetition of the individual chapters. This section can be used to address issues not sufficiently covered in the preceding chapters or papers (e.g., critiques raised by reviewers that could not be incorporated into published works, or reintroducing discussion arguments removed from published papers upon reviewer request). This section can also be used to elaborate on the practical/applied aspects of published findings in a manner that is more accessible to less expert readers.

Clearly state how the objectives of the research were met and discuss implications of findings.

A conventional font, size 12-point, 12 characters per inch must be used. Line spacing must be double or 1.5. Left and right hand margins should be 1 inch.

Positioning of page numbers is optional. Pages with figures or illustrations may be numbered in sequence or left unnumbered. The chosen procedure must be used consistently throughout the thesis. Pagination must be carefully checked for correct sequence and completeness.

• These should conform to a scholarly style appropriate to the discipline.
• Footnotes may be placed at the bottom of the page or as endnotes at the end of each chapter.
• Consistency of formatting for footnotes and references is required throughout the thesis.
  • Note: Handbooks such as the MLA or APA handbook may be consulted for formatting styles. These are available at the Reference desk听of the McLennan Library.

• Figures, tables, graphs, etc., should be positioned according to the publication conventions of the discipline. Charts, graphs, maps, and tables that are larger than the standard page should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Overlays must be meticulously positioned in the text.
• Where graphs, illustrations, photographs, etc. fill an entire page, these pages can be numbered in sequence or left unnumbered听(see Pagination above). Legends or captions accompanying such full-page graphics must be presented on a separate page.

Slides, tapes, etc. are to be avoided if possible and can be included only if the student authorizes the reproduction of the thesis without them.
