Alternatively, personal data has been anonymised in line with the Data Protection Commissioners Guidelines on Anonymisation.
I consent that my work will be held for the purposes of education assistance to future students and will be shared on the ATU Donegal (Computing) website (www.lyitcomputing.com) and Research THEA website (https://research.thea.ie/). I understand that documents once uploaded onto the website can be viewed throughout the world and not just in Ireland. Consent can be withdrawn for the publishing of material online by emailing Jade Lyons; Head of Department at Jade.Lyons@atu.ie to remove items from the ATU Donegal Computing website and by email emailing Denise McCaul; Systems Librarian at denise.mccaul@atu.ie to remove items from the Research THEA website. Material will continue to appear in printed formats once published and as websites are public medium, ATU cannot guarantee that the material has not been saved or downloaded.

Introduction
A heading should always be followed by a gap. Set the line spacing options for the heading to 12 points after the heading. All paragraphs should be fully justified. Text should be in a font of 12 points and one and a half line spacing. Headings and sub-headings provided here are for demonstration purposes and may differ in your final thesis.
Purpose
The text for each section should begin exactly under the section title. The text should wrap around at that same point as can be seen from this sample paragraph. A blank line should follow every paragraph.
Background
This document is provided to demonstrate the layout for headings, image captions, etc. Where third level headings are required a further numbered list may be used providing that the items constitute more than one line per section.
One liner
Where one line of text is required a bulleted list should replace the heading. This is done to aid the legibility of the final document.
Sub-Item
If only one sub-item is required neither a bulleted nor numbered list is required.
1.2.2.1 Fourth sub heading
Continue with text as required.
Research Question
This is where information on the research question might be presented. Remember that the headings presented here are exemplars only. Select the most appropriate heading for the given data being presented.
Report Outline
In some sections of the thesis an image may be required. Any image utilised must be referred to within the main body of text. In Figure 1 the ATU Donegal logo can be seen with an appropriate caption.
Figure 1 Atlantic Technological University Donegal Logo
In order to provide a caption for an image, table or equation the item should be selected. The Microsoft References ribbon should be selected. From there the Insert Caption button should be selected. The label should be set to the most appropriate one. In this example the Figure label was selected. New labels can be created as necessary. Remember not to simply copy and paste from above. Instead insert the image into the file and select it. Add the caption as described.
Where an image does not have a clearly defined border, one should be added. Care should be taken to ensure that all details of images are clearly visible both when in print and when in electronic format. Careful selection of colours should be considered for this purpose. Images as shown in Figure 2 should always be referred to from the main text.
Figure 2 ATU Donegal, Letterkenny
Chapter Name
The chapters should all begin on a new page. Page numbers appear at the bottom right of each page. Page numbers appear from Chapter 1 and onwards. Appendices should be paginated using roman numerals (I, II, etc.).
Bullets should be aligned with the text.
Bulleted items should have one blank line above and below.
If there are only 1 or 2 items a bulleted list is not required.
Any paragraph after the list, image or table should resume its normal position for the given header. When using any acronym such as Some Silly Acronym (SSA) it must be expanded on its first occurrence within the text. All acronyms should appear in an acronyms list preceding the main chapters.
Problem Context
In some
Report Outline
The text of any given chapter may refer to an interesting idea presented in another book, paper, journal or whitepaper. On-line sources should not normally constitute more than 50% of your references. ALL of your references must be peer-reviewed or whitepapers. Further details on this will be given in the Research Workshop and may be obtained from your supervisor. This is supported by research (Bloggs, 2012) carried out how best to reference. The idea is succinctly expressed by Murphy:
“A reference in a thesis should be of the previously demonstrated Harvard Style.” (Murphy, 2011a)
Notice that the quote has indentations on both sides and is surrounded by quotes. If the quote abstracts only part of a sentence double dots should be placed before or after to show where there is missing text. Further, where additions for clarification are used in the text square brackets should be used. According to Murphy:
“A reference in a thesis should be of… Harvard Style.” (Murphy, 2011b)
While the example above is provided for demonstration purposes it is obviously not a good idea to provide the same quote twice so for the purposes of this example we will assume this quote was taken from a different book by the same author. Further the general use of a single or a small number of sources multiple times is referred to as ‘over-reliance on a source’ and is deemed plagiarism.
Tables
The text of any chapter may include tabular data. In order to aid legibility some simple guidelines should be adhered to. Refer to Table 1.
Table 1. Table Formatting Guidelines
Format Description
Size The table should be able to fit into one page and should not overrun.
Margins The table should not extend past the normal margins of the page
Colour Colour may be used but consideration should be given to both on screen display and printed display.
Design Simple designs are best. At all times consider that the information in the table is more important than the ‘flashy’ design.
The title for an image or code must appear directly underneath and on the same page. If this is not possible then move the item within the text to ensure that the caption remains with the item. The title for a table must appear directly above the table.
Refer to Table 2 for the second short table sample.
Table 2 Second Sample Table
Format Description
Size The table should be able to fit into one page and should not overrun.
Code and Formulae
Where code requires listing within the text it should be treated as an image in that it is sectioned off with a border and has a caption directly underneath. Refer to Code Listing 1.1 below.
…
TextMessage msg = null;
try {
if (message instanceof TextMessage) {
msg = (TextMessage) message;
System.out.println("A Message received in TMDB: "
+ msg.getText());
}
else {
System.out.println("Message of wrong type: "
+ message.getClass().getName());
}
} catch (JMSException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
mdc.setRollbackOnly();
} catch (Throwable te) {
te.printStackTrace();
}
…
Code Listing 1 MDBean Message Handling
Notice that only minimal commenting is provided within the text. The code is shown in Cambria, 10 point. This reduces the overall text size and clearly distinguishes it from the main text.
If a single line of formula is required it can be referred to within the text as formula (Equation 1) for example with the formula example shown slightly indented and with the formula number to the far right.
Equation 1
?v=v_e ln m_0/m_1
A single line space above and below the formula (Tsiolkovsky, 2000) also aids legibility. Note also that the font size is increased by one point. A further item to note is that equations may also be referenced.
