MANUSCRIPT CONVENTIONS
Below is a list of manuscript conventions. Keep in mind that writing is revision and proof reading is expected. If you have a paper returned to you unread, you may well find the reason below.
Materials, Presentation, Margins, Documentation, Diction…
* Long quotes, those that extend to a THIRD line, are forbidden. Brief quotes (those that do not extend beyond TWO lines) must be uniformly cited. You can keep most quotations brief, quoting only what is essential.
* All papers should include a Work Cited page.
* All written assignments must be typed and submitted to turnitin.com
* Save a twig: do not use a title page. But do give a title–an apt one.
* Include an epigraph, italicized and placed one space below the title, as you see above. Place the (italicized) name of the epigraph’s author on the next line, centered, set off by a dash (not a hyphen).
* Place your name in the left margin of the first page, an inch from the top. Below that, state the class name and number (i.e. Poli Sci, 101). Below that line, insert the instructor’s name and, on the next line, the date.
* For most papers, use a standard legible typeface such as Times New Roman, Arial Narrow or Palatino. Acceptable type sizes are 10 or 12 point. (This entry is in Arial Narrow 10).
* Number all pages and use Arabic numerals (1, 2, etc.).
* Double space. (One-and-a-half spacing is acceptable.) Do not double space between paragraphs. Do not type on both sides of the paper.
* Use one-inch margins all around the page. Do not justify margins along the right; keep the right margins raggedy edged, like this page.
* Use MLA format when documenting ideas, information or quotations. Document all your sources. Paraphrase any ideas or information you derive from another and always document the source, giving credit for the information or idea.
* Avoid slang, clichés and pretentious diction. You can sound intelligent by using simple words.
