Problems with the design of the title page are first encountered by students and, as a rule, at the beginning of training. Quite often, when receiving a topic for an essay, the student does not know how to write it. In search of rules for compiling an abstract, a student can lose a lot of time, which will undoubtedly subsequently affect the quality of the document.

That is why it is recommended to study the standards for filling out title pages in accordance with GOST (y), as well as have samples of them that can be easily “downloaded” on the Internet. It should be noted that for a long time no special innovations were made to the abstract title page templates.

How to draw up a title page according to GOST in 2019

The further fate of your work depends on the quality filling of the title page.

• First of all, - The title page is the face of your document. It demonstrates the quality level of attitude to the task.
• Secondly, an experienced teacher will immediately be able to pre-evaluate the work by the appearance of the first page, and the first impression plays a significant role in evaluating your work.
• Thirdly, the high-quality performance of tasks “from cover to cover” develops conscientiousness, purposefulness, punctuality and responsibility in the character of the performer.

When compiling an essay, the student hopes for a good assessment of his work and it is a shame when he is returned the work done or significantly reduces the grade due to non-compliance with GOST in its design. Therefore, its design must be taken very seriously. And this is especially true for the title page of the abstract, since the teacher gets acquainted with it in the first place. If the title page is filled out incorrectly, the reviewer can send the work for revision without even opening the document.

The title page can be filled out using two GOST (a) standards:

1. GOST 2.105-95 is used as the main standard for filling out the title page of the abstract, which was adopted back in 1995 and is still valid today.

This standard is valid for all CIS countries, including for:

• Ukraine
• Russia
• Belarus
• Kazakhstan

1. GOST 7.32-2001 - “Research report”, refers to the abstract of the research work. This standard describes in detail all the necessary requirements and students must strictly adhere to the rules for the design of the title page of the document.

If you are not sure about the correct filling of the title, it is best to contact the reviewer for preliminary advice.

The title page is the initial page of the abstract, which reveals information about the topic of the assignment, about the student and the reviewer. This sheet is not numbered.

The page displays the following data:

1. The cap is the full name of the educational institution (school, college, university, etc.). The faculty and the department are also entered here. In addition, you can enter the belonging of the educational institution to the ministry. The header is located at the top of the sheet and aligned in the center in Word.
2. The inscription "SUMMARY" and the topic of the abstract are usually placed in the middle of the sheet and also aligned in the center.
3. The student's data (name, course, sometimes department or group) is placed below the topic by 7 - 9 intervals. The inscription is formatted, as a rule, on the left.
4. Information about the teacher is filled in and arranged in the same way as information about the student.
5. And finally, at the very bottom is the name of the settlement where the educational building is located, and the date the abstract was completed. Alignment is carried out in the center of the line.

It should be noted that there are universities where teachers create their own manuals with the rules for compiling an abstract, including the title page. However, it is better to write an abstract according to GOST (y). In this case, if everything is done correctly, the teacher will have nothing to object to.

The features of filling the title page should include the exact observance of all the requirements of GOST, namely: compliance with the size of the margins, font, as well as the location of all inscriptions.

To compile the title page of the abstract, first of all, an A4 sheet is selected and the page fields corresponding to GOST are indicated:

• top and bottom indent: 20mm;
• indent left: 30 mm;
• indent right: 10 mm;

To do this, on the top panel of Word, click on the button " PAGE LAYOUT", then press the button" Page settings" and in the window that opens, put down the fields and select the orientation " Book».

After that, sheet A4 can be conditionally divided into 4 parts (top, center, left and bottom), in each of which certain requirements must be met.

All inscriptions on the title are made in font No. 14 with an interval of 1. When choosing a font type, Times New Roman is most often used, although another font type is also allowed.

The procedure for preparing the title page of the abstract

After the conditional division of the title into parts, we begin to fill in the page. At the top of the page, the educational institution where the student is studying is written in capital letters. The text is bold and center aligned.

Below, in the central block, the word "SUMMARY" and the topic of the task are written, and also aligned in the center. With the permission of the teacher, the word "SUMMARY" can be highlighted in bold.

In the next, left block, all information about the student and the teacher is recorded. These inscriptions are aligned on the left side of the sheet. In some cases, it is allowed to move this label block to the right using the " Tab”, so that all lines start on the same line.

And finally, the lower conditional part of the page contains information about the locality in which the educational building is located and the year the abstract was submitted. This completes the title page.

If you know the rules for filling out the title page of the abstract, the design is quite easy and fast. Here, almost the minimum requirements. The main thing is to carefully fill in the necessary information, without missing anything.

(Video: “How to issue a title page according to GOST”)

At school, children are taught to write essays in the form of messages, projects, reports from grades 1-2. To assist children in compiling the title page and report or message, parents will have to work hard so that the child gets a good mark.

Below is a sample essay title page for the school that parents and their children can use.

How to properly issue the title page of the abstract in accordance with GOST? This question is asked by both students and schoolchildren who undertake research work as part of the school curriculum. Legislatively, the rules for the preparation of abstracts are regulated by standards (GOST 7.32-2001 and its annexes).

Note!

There are several types of abstract works. So, GOST provides, among other things, for the preparation of an abstract for research, an abstract for a dissertation. Therefore, we immediately warn you: we are talking about the design of an abstract work devoted to the presentation of a particular topic or problem. Other types of abstracts and features of their design will be considered in more detail in other articles.

Memo on how to make a title page for an essay

1. The title page of the abstract is A4 size.
2. The font, its size and line spacing are stipulated by the methodological instructions of the university (institute, technical school, lyceum, school).
3. GOST provides for the need to fill in the title page of the abstract 14 in Times New Roman, bold, with a line spacing of 1 or 1.5 1 (clause 6.10.1 of GOST 7.32-2001).
4. Alignment is done depending on the block.
5. Since the legislation does not provide for the mandatory use of GOST rules for the preparation of an abstract, the educational institution brings to the attention of students in the training manual (usually located in the Annexes) how the title page of the abstract should look like.
6. The title is not numbered, although it is taken as the first page.

How to Write an Essay Cover Sheet: A Step-by-Step Guide

See what the title page looks like below. Conventionally, it can be divided into several blocks:

1. In the upper block are written: the name of the ministry to which the educational institution belongs, the name of the institution with a center orientation, for example:

Sample design

Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation

MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY IM. M.Yu. LOMONOSOV

2. Middle block: information about the discipline and the topic of the abstract, orientation in the center, for example:

Sample design

By discipline: History

Subject: February Revolution of 1917 in Russia

Please note: GOST does not provide for the need to put quotation marks, however, the methodological instructions of your educational institution have the right to stipulate this, and then the topic name will need to be enclosed in quotation marks:

Sample design

By discipline: History of state and law

Topic: "The formation of Soviet authorities in 1917"

3. Right block: the abstract must be signed correctly! Information about the author of the abstract and the supervisor (the teacher who will check it and allow it to be defended), with right orientation:

Sample design

Completed:

2nd year student

correspondence department

group I-23

Polevoy Oleg Ruslanovich

Checked:

Senior Lecturer, Department of History and Social Science

Gursky Ivan Petrovich

Grade __________________

Note!!!

Corporate ethics requires that before the name of the teacher, his position must be indicated, as well as - if any - a scientific degree. Do not take risks: there are cases when problems with the defense of an abstract began with such a “little thing” as the lack of regalia of a teacher on the title page.

4. Bottom block: an indication of the city in which the educational institution is located, as well as the year the abstract was written. Orientation in the center, at the very end of the page:

Little tricks on how to print the title page of the abstract

As a rule, the problem with the design of the title page goes away as the student gains experience ... For those who are faced with the question of how to write the title page of an abstract for the first time, advice from "experienced" students:

• The department must have titles in electronic form. Let the head of the group ask the secretary for them - and you will only have to enter the necessary data into a ready-made form and print it.
• Even if you order an essay from us - do not ignore the training manual! Remember: even experienced authors cannot predict many nuances. Therefore, take care in advance to provide methodological instructions - and then our author will print the title page for you, you just need to specify it in advance .
• Many universities place their guidelines in the public domain for students: check if it is possible to download them.

Every day we publish useful life hacks for study

It happens that a student brings to the teacher a wonderful, deep, excellent essay that reveals the topic, and the teacher wraps up the work due to improper design. It is especially disappointing to receive such a surprise just before the test or exam, which is not allowed without a credited abstract. So the design of the abstract is not a trifle.

However, there is nothing complicated in the rules for preparing an abstract. Problems usually arise with first-year students who simply don’t yet know how to write an essay correctly (because they were too lazy to find out before passing). But this article will help those who did not take a training manual at the department and thought about designing the night before submitting their work - agree, a common situation!

Sometimes fawn with the correct design of the abstract happens to newcomers-studlancers. Deciding to earn some money, a novice student believes that it is enough just to write a paper, and is very upset when the customer demands improvements with a scandal: the design is not according to the standard. So, this article, it seems to us, will also be useful for studlancers.

General rules for the preparation of abstracts

There are several types of abstracts, but in this case we mean the format of the academic work. This is a work that can be called a reduced, simpler version of the term paper. Therefore, the educational essay is drawn up in general in the same way as term papers and diplomas.

In many universities, and even more so in schools, they approach the design of abstracts less strictly, allowing small deviations from the strict GOST standard. Some faculties have their own rules regarding the design of papers, especially title pages (so, in addition to studying the general rules described below, we recommend that you still take a training manual at the department; sometimes special requirements are invented by teachers precisely in order to check whether you have read this method or not?).

But in general, it is enough to follow the basic rules regarding font selection, footnotes, numbering, content design, bibliography, title page.

It is best if you study the rules for preparing an abstract in accordance with GOST, which correspond to the standards for the design of more serious research papers. Even if the teacher is not picky, these skills will not be superfluous. And if you come across a "bureaucrat" from ours, then the design of the abstract in accordance with GOST will be more important than the content!

How to write an abstract?

1. Use Times New Roman font. This is not spelled out in GOST, but the practice is already established.

1. Size 14 is traditionally used, sometimes 12. This point is best clarified with the teacher. As a rule, the 14th is chosen for academic papers, but if the volume of the abstract is large, it makes sense to choose a slightly smaller font size. But the larger one is impossible, since the teacher will immediately understand that you are visually inflating the volume.

1. The line spacing is one and a half. A longer interval, again, indicates an attempt to cheat with volume.

1. Sheet orientation is portrait. Landscape is sometimes allowed when designing applications (for example, wide tables).

1. Margins: 1.5 cm for the top, 3 cm for the bottom, 1.5 cm for the right and 2.5 cm for the left (1 cm is a margin for filing sheets). Increasing the margins is sometimes used by students to increase the number of sheets, but this practice can lead to trouble, especially if you are completely insolent and set 3 - 3 - 3 - 4 in the settings.

1. Sheets form A4, density - standard for printing by a printer, white color.

1. Text is printed on one side of the paper only. The reverse must remain clean. By the way, a common mistake among beginners, who often write on both sides, as in a notebook.

1. Numbering (in Arabic numerals) is put down from the third sheet (from the introduction). The 1st and 2nd sheets (title and content), according to GOST, are not numbered, but are taken into account in the calculation. Simply put, there are no numbers on the first two sheets at the bottom, on the sheet with the introduction - “3” is already put. Applications are not numbered.

1. The title page consists of the following parts:

- A cap with the full name of the educational institution (university, college, school, etc.), the name of the faculty and department, as well as the phrase "Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation" (it is sometimes excluded when making the title page of the abstract). Formatting is centered.

- The inscription "SUMMARY" with the title of the work and an indication of the discipline. Center formatting. Sometimes the name is indicated simply, without quotes, sometimes it fits into the formula ... on the topic "N" ...(the same with an indication of the discipline; check the specific requirements at the department). Formatting in the center, the location is approximately in the middle of the sheet (or slightly higher).

- Information about the author (name, course, sometimes a group or department) and supervisor (name, position, scientific degree - either in the format "D. H. N.", "C. M. N.", or expanded, specify in the manual). This block is located 7 - 9 intervals below the previous one. Please note that the block is located on the right, but the first letters of the lines are lined up - this arrangement can be achieved using the Tab key.

- The final block with information about the city in which the educational institution is located and the year the work was written. It is located at the very bottom of the sheet, formatting is centered.

The main size in the design of the title page is 14, but the word "SUMMARY" and the title of the topic are usually typed larger.

A sample of the title page for the abstract:

1. The content is located on the 2nd sheet and includes the names of all parts (introduction, chapters and paragraphs of the main part, conclusion, list of references (sometimes with a list of sources), applications).

For each of the elements, except for applications, a page number is indicated. Applications are not numbered, as they can be not only sheets, but also folders with materials, disks, etc.

At the top of the sheet is written: "CONTENTS" (without quotes, upper case). The following is information about the elements of working with formatting on the left, but the pages are indicated opposite, with formatting on the left (use the TAB key).

Content template:

1. The introduction starts. As a rule, all educational essays contain this part, similar to coursework and diplomas.

1. The main part of the abstract is divided (with rare exceptions) into chapters. Sometimes paragraphs (or paragraphs) are highlighted within chapters.

1. Chapters start on a new page. Sometimes paragraphs also begin with a new sheet (specify this point in the training manual).

An unspoken rule: the final part of the chapter should occupy at least a quarter of the page. For cunning students who inflate the volume, the ends of the chapters “hang” with a few lines on an almost blank sheet, which causes great irritation among teachers: they feel that they are, how to put it… considered fools.

1. The conclusion also begins on a separate sheet.

1. The headings of the structural elements of the abstract (introduction, conclusion, list of references, titles of chapters) are drawn up in a uniform way. Formatting is centered. Usually in upper case. Additional use of bold (bold) is possible.

It is not allowed to design the name of one element in upper case, the other in lower case.

Exception: Paragraphs and paragraphs, if they do not begin on separate sheets, may be in lower case and bold when the chapter titles are in upper case. In this case, they are considered an integral part of the chapters. This nuance is better to clarify with the teacher.

1. The titles of chapters, paragraphs, paragraphs and other elements of the work are written WITHOUT quotation marks.

1. Attention! After the titles of the chapters, the words "Introduction", "Conclusion", "Appendix" and the phrase "References" THE POINT DOES NOT PUT! DO NOT PUT!!! DO NOT PUT!!! A very common mistake. Drives teachers into hysterics

1. The list of references is drawn up on a separate sheet. In the abstracts, the number of materials used is small, so the groups in the list of references, as a rule, are not distinguished (however, this depends on the requirements of the department and supervisor). But if there are sources in the list of references, and not just scientific research, the selection of groups is necessary. This is true for historians, lawyers, philosophers and several other specialties.

1. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically. Works in foreign languages, if any, academic papers usually follow after Russian-language ones.

1. Registration of the list of used literature - according to GOST, that is, according to the rules for the bibliographic design of sources.

Two design options are allowed: with a dash between the areas of the bibliographic description and without it. The number of pages in a job may be omitted.

Sample bibliography:

Ivanov I. I. Intergalactic hyperdrives. - M.: Polytech, 2010. - 421 p.

Ivanov I. I. Intergalactic hyperdrives. Moscow: Polytech, 2010.

Attention: initials are separated from each other not only by dots, but also by spaces.

1. Links are an optional requirement. Some essays (for example, school ones) are written without links. If links are needed, they are made according to standard rules. Usually - on a separate sheet, after the list of references. Sometimes - page by page (in this case, continuous numbering of links is recommended). How to arrange links - at the end of the work or page by page, check with the teacher.

Ivanov I. I. Intergalactic hyperdrives. M.: Polytech, 2010. S. 35 - 37.

If you cite the same source twice or more, the following formula is used:

Ivanov I. I. Decree. op. pp. 35 - 37.

If you refer to this source twice or several times in a row, it is written simply:

1. The application is shutting down. Its pages are not numbered. If there are several applications, they are numbered in Latin numerals: I, II, III, etc.

1. Sheets of the finished abstract are fastened with a spiral or punched through with a hole punch and put into a folder with a transparent top sheet.

When writing a creative or scientific project, there are strict rules for the design of the title page: you must indicate your scientific adviser, the name of the educational institution, the year the work was submitted and the full name. How exactly to place this data on the sheet and what fonts to use, you will learn in this article.

Start writing the title page: go to Microsoft Office Word or more convenient for you, and set the font to Times New Roman, size 16. Mark the text alignment to the center.

Write the full name of your educational institution, you can ask about it on the Internet or in advance with your scientific consultant.

You should make page markup that complies with the design rules. Go to the “Page Layout” tab in the program header and select the “Margins” box. At the very bottom of the list, you will see the line "Custom fields".

In the menu that appears, set the following values:

• Align top and bottom by 15 mm.
• Right 10 mm.
• Left 20 mm.

This way your project will look neater, and later on you will be able to flash it on the left side.

Move the cursor to the middle of the page and leave the alignment centered. Change the font size from 16 to 24. Write the type of work: scientific project, creative project, report, independent work, etc.

On the next line, enter the title of the work without the period and quotes. The font size will be 28.

Move to the very bottom of the page. Leave about six lines to the end of the sheet and start entering information about the author and consultant.

Change the font back to 16 and set the alignment to right. Write your name after the words “Author:” and the name of the scientific adviser after “Consultant:”. Don't forget to put a colon and make these words bold.
Names are given with initials.

On the very last line of the page, put the current year. To do this, do not change the font settings, but set the alignment to the center. You don't need to put a dot.

Look at examples of completed work, such design will be counted as correct.

Check with the consultant beforehand on how to record their role in your work. If the teacher gave you advice and guidance throughout the work on the project, then, most often, he fits in precisely as a consultant. In serious and voluminous works for scientific conferences, the teacher can be written as “Research Associate”, if he was directly involved in writing the work.

You can see some other design options in the short video below:

Title page, title page - the first page of the academic work, reveals the student's data and the topic. It is used for abstract, term paper, diploma work, report, . It contains information on:

Can they reduce the score for incorrect design of the title

The design of the title page is an important point on any subject and is part of the normative control. If the teacher accepted the work, in which the title page is incorrectly designed, he does not have the right to reduce the score for this, because. in this case, the work was checked and approved by the reviewer.

Which universities are suitable for

These rules are GOST. Therefore, they are universal and suitable for any university in Russia, Ukraine and other CIS countries. If you fundamentally do not want to redo it when the teacher requires it, you can refer to GOST 2.105-95. in which it is clearly spelled out for whom and how it operates.

Is the design different for different items?

The template for the design of the title does not depend on the subject. All its elements can remain the same and only the name of the item can change. The exception is test papers, which in some subjects may require a title page for a notebook. This is the usual A4 sheet format folded in half. We have a separate material where you can download this sample or design it yourself.

Is the design different for specialties?

Specialty doesn't matter at all. All elements remain unchanged, except for the specialty, which needs to be changed for the current one.
