The Dedication , which is optional, provides a means of recognizing an individual or individuals who  have provided important moral and other support which has made the achievement possible

The Acknowledgements recognize the assistance of the thesis/dissertation advisor and other members  of the faculty and staff. Other specific contributions by professional people or institutions, such as  librarians, correspondents and research foundations, should also be acknowledges. If financial support  was provided, it is appropriate to recognize such assistance.

The Table of Contents should be prepared after the manuscript has been completed. The table of  contents should identify and locate by page number, the list of tables, list of Figures, Abstract, Chapters  and subdivisions within the Main Body, Appendices, Nomenclature, References and Vita. All titles in the  table of contents must correspond with the titles as they appear in the text.

The List of Tables identifies and locates each table by page number appearing in the Main Body and  Appendix. The tables are to be numbered, using Arabic numerals in the order that they appear in the  thesis/dissertation.

The List of Figures Identifies and locates each figure by page number appearing in the  thesis/dissertation. The figures are to be numbered, using Arabic Numerals in the order that they appear  in the thesis/dissertation.

The Abstract is a short and concise statement of the problem and solution dealt with in the  thesis/dissertation. It should be written in English and Arabic on the Abstract forms, of no more than one  page in length and exclusive of any references or citations.

As a requirement from the University Microfilms International, KFUPM theses/dissertations should not  be more than 350-word abstract for Ph.D. Dissertation, and 150-word abstract for Master Thesis.

The Main Body of the Thesis/Dissertation  should be developed after a detailed outline of its content  is prepared. The body of the thesis/dissertation must be divided into chapters, not parts or sections.  Chapter 1 should be an introductory chapter. The remaining chapters must include a documented  statement of previous work in the field and should contain a delineation of the specific proposition to be  examined, a complete explanation of the analysis, experiments and observations made by the student, and  an adequate discussion of the results and their significance should be presented in terms of the purpose it  serves in supporting the findings or solving the problem, and should not necessarily be chronological   unless this order leads logically to the resolution of the problem. Sufficient details of method and  equipment should be provided to enable the work to be replicated, but minute and comprehensive details  which are generally known or which can be covered by reference citations should be omitted. Metric units  of measure should be used unless the actual measurements were made in Imperial/US units, in which case  the metric equivalent should appear in parentheses.

The Appendice s (if any) are a useful device to make available to the reader material related to the text  but not suitable for inclusion in it. Such material may be in the form of tables too detailed for text  presentation; technical notes on method, and schedules and forms used in collecting materials; copies of  documents not generally available to the reader; case studies too long to be put into the text; and  sometimes figures or other illustrative materials.

The Nomenclature provides the meaning of all symbols and variables used in the text.

The References provide a listing of all literature citations that have been helpful in preparing the  thesis/dissertation. References that are cited in the body and appendices of the thesis/dissertation are  indicated with a number (1, 2...) in parentheses after the statement to be documented. The numbers should  be listed in alphabetical order or in the order in which the citation first appears in the text.

The requirements pertaining to style are outlined in this section. Although students are required to  conform to these regulations, they and their thesis committee retain certain flexibility in determining the  format of tables, figures, illustrations, the dedication, acknowledgment, and table of contents, list of tables,  list of figures, nomenclature and references.

Any standard typeface in pica or elite is acceptable, as is the use of a word processor. If there are any  doubts about the acceptability of the typeface or process to be used, the Deanship of Graduate Studies  should be consulted before typing the final draft

Double spacing is required in the body of the manuscript, and in the acknowledgments and abstracts.  Tables, footnotes, appendices, and block quotations may be single-spaced. The table of contents, list of  tables, list of figures and nomenclature may be single or double spaced. However, keep the goals of  professional presentation in mind.

d. Bottom: At least 2.5 cm.

Remember that these margin requirements are minimum, not maximum widths and must be met for  binding and microfilming purposes.

Each chapter in the body of the thesis is to start on a new page with the heading 5 cm from the top of the  page. The chapter number and the chapter title are to be typed in upper case; if the title requires more  than one line; additional lines are double-spaced and centered in inverted pyramid style.  There must be a triple space between the chapter number and the chapter title, and a triple space between  the chapter title and the body of the text. The treatment of subtitles varies according to the number of  levels required to present the material most effectively. If there are only two levels of subtitles, the first is  centered with only major words capitalized and not underlined. The second is placed flush with the left  margin and only major words capitalized, and underlined. If there are three levels of subtitles, the third  one is a paragraph heading (indented the usual five spaces for a paragraph, but run into the paragraph  followed by a period and underlined). Where four levels of subtitles are needed, the third level is indented  five spaces from the left margin, only major words capitalized, and underlined (with the paragraph heading  becoming the fourth subtitle). It is permissible (but not necessary) to designate the subtitles as A. 1, 1.1,  or 1.1. This method must be followed throughout the entire thesis (body and appendices) if it is used at  all; i.e., it cannot be used just in the appendices or in one chapter. A triple space precedes all headings and  follows all except the paragraph heading. At least one line of text must follow subtitles at the bottom of a  page. (Example of 4 Levels of Subtitles)

v. Pagination

All preliminary pages (except the title page and approval sheet) are numbered with small Roman numerals centered 2.5 cm from the bottom of the page. The title page and approval sheets are not numbered but are counted as pages i and ii. The main body, appendix, nomenclature and references should be numbered with Arabic numerals centered 2.5 cm from the top and 2.5 cm from the right edge. The exceptions to this requirement are as follows:

d.  The vita should remain unnumbered.

7. Common Errors and the Required Amendments

This section highlights the common mistakes/errors that the reviewers found while reviewing the  thesis/dissertation. To help avoiding the known mistakes/errors, please take the following in account. To  achieve excellence, your thesis/dissertation must be brief and clear.

1. Verbiage and Repetitions

Delete all the useless verbiage such as "Here it must be pointed out that..." Re-word all redundant phrases. For  example, write "wherever corrosion is found" instead of "in each and every specific environment where corrosion is found".  Instead of repeating a noun, use a pronoun. For example, write "Initially the temperature rose, but later it fell"  instead of "Initially the temperature rose, but later the temperature fell".  Instead of repeating a verb, use DO/DOES/DID or another suitably short wording.  For example, write “The pressure rose, and so did the temperature" or (even better) write "The pressure and the  temperature both rose" but you should seldom write "The pressure rose, and the temperature also rose".

2. Excessive Nominalizations

To get rid of a long awkward noun-phrase, use a verb. For example, write “X explains Y” instead of “X  provides an explanation of Y”.  Similarly, write "The mechanism was activated electrically" instead of “Electrical activations were carried out on the  mechanism".

3. Muddled Reasoning

Cut each long sentence into 2-3 shorter sentences. Optionally number them, and/or organize them by  length or other criteria. Rearrange or simplify the phrases.  For example, write  "Besides the extra output of oil, this method produced three further benefits. ( I ) It conserved the potential of the extra new  wells, by deferring their use. (2) It utilized the in-house approach to avoid the high cost of the diagnostic tools offered by the  service companies". (3) It reduced the cost of treating the water, partly by reducing the water production, and partly by using  the existing assets, for instance by dismantling the flow-lines from the wells that were completely swept".  instead of  "Besides the extra output of oil, further benefits were obtained from this method, in that it firstly conserved the potential of  the extra new wells by deferring their use, and in addition it reduced the water treatment cost by reducing the water production  and using the existing assets, by dismantling the flow-lines from the wells that were completely swept, and finally the high cost  of the service companies' diagnostic tools was avoided by utilizing the in-house approach".

4. Misfits and Danglers

To clarify a confusing or ambiguous misfit, reorganize the sentence. For example, write "A ball-point pen  consists of a cap, a tip assembly, a rigid outer tube, and a narrower inner tube, which contains ink" instead of “A ballpoint  pen consists of a rigid outer tube, a narrower inner tube, which contains ink, a tip assembly and a cap".  To clarify and tidy a loose final dangler, reverse the sentence. For example, write  "... as confirmed by Acton (1998), Brumby (2003) and Carter (2005)" instead of "... as Acton (1998), Brumby  (2003) and Carter (2005) confirmed".

5. Organization and the Verb-Tenses

Although English verb-tenses are very complex, the advice below is usually valid. By following it, you will  organize your thesis so that the readers can understand it.  Use the past tense about previous research, especially in your review of the literature, but use the present  or future tense to differentiate your own research.  Use the past tense to report your procedures step-by-step, but use the "have done" tense for your results  which remain true now.

Use the present-simple tense:

c. To interpret your observations or conclusions as broad general facts.

6. Singular or Plural Verb

Make sure each verb is correctly singular or plural, especially if the sentence has a lot of differentnumbered  nouns before the verb.  For example,  "The value of the facts and their causes and effects is..."  differs in meaning from  "The value of the facts and their causes and effects are..."

7. Consistency in the Details

"The research, which was funded by Aramco, was successful. " "The research which was funded by Aramco was successful." 

Captions: In captions, avoid the words " chart of I "map of I "photo of I etc, and also avoid the words  a/an/the ", especially at the start.

Hyphen: Use or omit the hyphen as shown in the Longman English dictionary.

For example, the noun is " setup" or " set-up ", but the verb is " set up ".

Spacing: In lists & texts, choose single or double spacing, but do not mix both.
