Proper abstract, introduction, and conclusion to paper
The title page and the first page should not have page numbers written on them, subsequent
pages should (starting, therefore, at “3”.
Fonts: General practice is to use serif fonts for text, and san-serif fonts for titles. One
common preference is for 12-point Palatino linotype for text, and 12, 14, and 16-point bolded
Arial for titles. Non-capitalized serif fonts are easiest to read because the reader’s eye
quickly sees the overall shape of the word. ALL-CAPITALS and sans-serif fonts, do not have
that easy shape. Fonts should be in a very dark colour (black, dark teal, etc.) and the
background should always be white.
