Download Guide for Writing Technical Reports and Proposals: Format and Contents and more Papers Materials science in PDF only on Docsity! Document/Report/Proposal Format Guidelines 08-2007 Title Page (For reports, use the CWJCR report cover. Notice the limited space for printing the title, report number, contract number, submitted to:, submitted by:, date, etc. Variable font sizes can be used to make the report cover visually pleasing. The Report number is always at the page top, right corner. Use transparent plastic cover before the title page. Bind report using the spiral binder or other binders.) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>New Page>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Table of Contents (Start numbering from this page on until the end of the document/report/proposal. Insert page numbers at page bottom, center or right corner. Appendix may have a different numbering system.) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> New Page >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Abstract/Executive Summary (An abstract should have around 500 words, but not more than 750 words. An executive summary can be longer, as long as 1000 words.) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> New Page >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I. Introduction (For the report text, use font size 12 for typical reports. Insert line space between heading and paragraph and between paragraphs. Start paragraphs without indent - currently accepted format. For draft copies, use 1.5 spacing to facilitate revision and editing. For final copies, use single spacing.) II. Literature Review II.1. Welding Fluxes II.1.a. Chemical Nature of Fluxes II.1.a.1. Ionic Theory as proposed by Flood (Always retain headings in separate lines. Avoid using more than four levels of sub-headings. Use icon type bullets wherever necessary, i.e. under any levels of sub-heading. However, avoid further numbering. Refrain from using uncommon bullets since different computers may not have all the font files. Instead, unusual characters will be displayed.) III. Technical Approach (Note that you may not and do not have to use all the headings listed in this set of guidelines. Omit existing ones or add new ones if necessary.) IV. Scope/Objectives V. Experimental Procedure VI. Results and Discussion (Some authors present the results together with discussion. Others prefer separate sections on results and discussion.) VI.1. Weld Metal Temperature Measurements VI.1.a. Thermocouple Data Details (Data can be reported in table form or graphs. If tables are included in the text, always remember that table captions precede the tables. If figures are included in the text, note that figure captions follow the figures. Data plots and photomicrographs are treated as figures, similar to schematic drawings. Preferentially, tables and figures should be inserted in appropriate locations near to the citation, whether in the text or as a separate page. However, they can also be grouped together and presented at the end of the report, but before the appendices.) Table I. Flux Components and Their Primary Functions.
