Template for Student Abstracts
Abstracts should be limited to 1 page or less.
SUMMATIVE STATEMENT
This 2-3-line summary will be translated and should capture the main point of your communication. Like a journal abstract but shorter. This is the part that will be translated for the French/English speaking community so include your key findings.
PROBLEM STATEMENT / INTRODUCTION
This should explain and justify your research question.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE/QUESTION
These guidelines are intended to create consistency for all papers - please comply with all guidelines. Stay with the 1” (2.54 cm) margins, and Arial 11 font (Title is 14pt), single space, no page #s, single column layout, 1-line between paragraphs as per this template/shell.
(Note the line between paragraphs here!) Citations should be per APA format: (Author, year), (Author 1 & Author 2, year) (Author 1, et al., year)
METHODOLOGY
You may deviate or add to these headers if your paper requires it: e.g. for a theoretical work. But please stay to the look & feel of the template/shell.
RESULTS (if applicable)
Tables should have a header line and figure titles below the figure. Please fit figures in in a way that is consistent with the look & feel of the template (e.g. within margins). There should be no hyperlinks to images etc., these must be “embedded” into the submitted file.
DISCUSSION
