The Arrangement Of Contents -- II
Tables and Figures: The word "Table" will designate tabulated information or numerical data used in the main body of the text or in the Appendices. The word "Figure" will designate all other non-verbal materials. Tables and Figures may appear together on the same page with text, separated by a space of one line. Tables and Figures should be placed as close as possible to the text they illustrate unless it is considered appropriate to put them in an appendix.
The numbers of the Tables and their captions are placed a space of one line above the Table. The numbers of the Figures and their captions are placed a space of one line below the Figure. The captions of Tables and Figures are centered in relation to the Table or Figure and written in bold. Each Figure or Table is numbered with consecutive Arabic numerals for the whole thesis.
If any Table continues to the following or subsequent pages, the top line on the subsequent page should read, "Table 3 (cont'd)," without quotation marks. The caption is not repeated.
Bibliography: A bibliography is always in alphabetical order, with the author's surname first. (In the case of those source material without an author, the articles "a", "an", and "the" are disregarded while ordering alphabetically.)
The heading, BIBLIOGRAPHY, is centered between the text margins without punctuation 5 cm from the top of the page; the list begins four spaces below.
Each bibliographic entry should be single-spaced with double spacing between entries.
Appendix or Appendices: Some authors may desire to include certain materials of the thesis or dissertation in an appendix rather than in the main text. If the information to be appended requires more than one appendix, each should be given a letter (Appendix A, Appendix B, and the like). The heading APPENDIX A should appear centered between the text margins 5 cm from the top of the page. The typeface and size should be those used for chapter titles.
Each appendix with its title must be listed separately in the table of contents as a subdivision under the heading APPENDICES.
