1. INTRODUCTION
This guide for thesis preparation has been developed and prescribed by the Scientific
Committee (SC), Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) in the aim of assisting not only
Associate Degree in Engineering, Engineers Degree, and Master Student but also ITC
lecturer in preparing the thesis. In this means, ITC is holding the Intellectual Property Rights
adopted by Royal Government of Cambodia together with the research partners. Students and
lecturer in all departments are compulsorily required to strictly follow this guide for thesis
preparation to ensure the standard of uniformity and preservation of standard archival thesis
copy. Any query not specified in this guide should be referred to the respective department
officer or the SC via info@itc.edu.kh.
2. SUBMISSION OF THESIS
2.1. Submission of thesis
Students are required to deliver 5 copies of thesis (3 to Panelists, 1 to Advisor, 1 to
Enterprise) to the respective department secretary at least 1 week period prior to the final
presentation date which is decided by Academic Office. For more information on the
academic schedule, the academic calendar could be found in the ITC website at the following
link, http://www.itc.edu.kh/itc/en/index.php/calendar. Additional copies of the thesis may be
required differently by each department. For late submission, student will not be permitted
to take his/her defense and be subjected to 2
nd
defense.
2.2. Revision after submission of thesis
After the defense, students are required to incorporate/response to the thesis
committee constructive comment/suggestions and revise thesis until proven satisfied by the
thesis advisor within 1 week. After the revision, these hard-copies of thesis will be
submitted to Thesis Advisor, Head of Department, Enterprise Representative, and Director
General of ITC for the approval and signature. Students are required to submit the final
version of the revised thesis, 2 hard-copies and soft-copy (either in pdf or word file) to
respective Department (Department will later hand over 1 set of hard and soft-copy to
Library).
2.3. Thesis binding
All copies of thesis must be submitted to respective department bound between
printed covers. In particular, the final version of thesis should be tied together. A template for
thesis cover could be found Download Sample. The front cover should be labeled all
information as shown in the template of thesis cover and printed in white paper.
2.4. Copyright
Reference made based on the Intellectual Property Rights of Royal Government of
Cambodia, ITC and Enterprise hold the ownership of the thesis copyright.

2.5. Plagiarism
2.5.1. Definition
Student must understand the definition, nature, and how to avoid the plagiarism.
Plagiarism could be defined as follows:
Plagiarism is the presentation of someone elses ideas or words as your own.
(Fowler and Aaron, 1992, pp. 578).
An obvious form of plagiarism is copying any direct quotation from your source
material without providing quotation marks and without crediting the source. A more subtle
form, but equally improper, is the paraphrasing of material or use of an original idea if that
paraphrase or borrowed idea is not properly introduced and documented. (Lester, 1976, pp.
48).
One area that can be confusing to researchers involves the use of information
classified as common knowledge. If a fact or an idea is well known, it does not have to be
documented, even if it is taken from another sourceto be considered common knowledge,
information must be well known to a general audience. (Clines and Cobb, 1993, pp. 20).
2.5.2. Punishment
Associate Degree in Engineering, Engineers Degree, and Master theses are subjected
to the plagiarism verification. In case that plagiarism is founded, student will account for the
Intellectual Property Rights adopted by Royal Government of Cambodian and be required to
revise thesis until proven satisfied by Advisor.
2.5.3. Plagiarism avoidance
It is necessary that the use of the previous published materials in thesis must be
acknowledged properly within the text by either putting quotation or paraphrasing; this means
that the authors name with the year of publication should appear in the text while the
reference list should contain all references. The in-text quotation styles could be founded in
the following examples (Om et al., 2011):
- For one author:
Klein (2013) reviewed the biology and strategies to delay
In a recent review on the antimalarial drug resistance (Klein, 2013),
- For two authors:
Sadana and Snow (1999) investigated the perceptions and preferences
In a study on the balancing effectiveness (Sadana and Snow, 1999),
- For many authors: in the case that we would like to cite the guide for thesis
preparation by Dr. OM Romny, Dr. CHUNHIENG Thavarith, Mr. NUTH Sothn,
Mr. PHOL Norith, and Mr. SIEANG Phen, it is as follows:
Page 6 of 26
Om et al. (2011) introduced the guide for thesis preparation
In the thesis preparation for ITC student (Om et al., 2011),
-In case of NGOs, student could cite the report published by NGOs, e.g., Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as follows:
FAO (2006) published the livestocks long shadow-environmental issues..
In the report on the livestocks long shadow-environmental issues (FAO, 2006),
3. FORMATTING

List of Tables, Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology or Materials and Methods,
Results and Discussion, Conclusions (and Recommendations), References, and Appendices.
3.3. Text layout
Text must be written using Times New Roman (12 pt font size) with 1.5 lines spacing
and the margins shall be 25.4 mm from top, bottom, left, and right on white paper. A full
justification shall be used and each new paragraph shall be clearly indicated with indentation
(12.7 mm) and no-space between paragraphs. Tables and figures should be presented in the
text with spacing before and after text of 12 pt (See Example in Appendices).
3.4. Pagination
Theses of all degrees shall be started with the title pages consisted of the first cover
page, second cover page, and third cover page; these cover pages shall not be paginated and
prepared single-sided while the following pages of theses shall be prepared double-sided.
The acknowledgment page, abstract page, abbreviations and symbols page, table of contents
page, list of figures page, and list of tables page, shall be paginated with roman numerals
i.e., i, ii, iii, etc. From the introduction page to final part of thesis, all pages shall be paginated
in one consecutive numbering sequencei.e., 1, 2, 3, etc. All page numbers shall be at the
bottom-center of pages. Moreover, each heading shall be started with a new page by using
page breaking.
3.5. Title selection
The title selection for the thesis for all degrees shall be done carefully to ensure that
the consistency between title and thesis manuscript is achievable. Therefore,
Page 7 of 26
Be sure to select a title that reflects and/or provides a meaningful description
of the content of the thesis manuscript;
Be sure to select a title that in overall covers all the specific objectives aimed
for in the thesis; this means that from the title, a number of specific objectives
could be developed.
3.6. Thesis title pages
The first title page must contain the information on the department, type of degree
(Associate Degree in Engineering, Engineers Degree, or Master Degree), thesis title, name
of author, main course of study, name of thesis advisor, and academic year. The second title
page must be written in Khmer and bear the original signatures of Director General of I TC,
Head department, Supervior, and Enterprise Representative while the third title page must
be written in French and containt the same information as that of the second title page. The
template for these title pages could be found in the following link:
Download Sample.
3.7. Acknowledgments
The acknowledgment page shall be included in the thesis manuscript. In this section,
author could express his/her sincere gratitude to his/her family for support and so on. Author
could also include his/her special thank to Professors, Thesis Advisor, Lab Assistant, and

abstract should contain the purpose of the research, the materials and methods, the principal
results and major conclusions. An abstract must be written in 3 languages (Khmer, French
and English in order) except Associate Degree Abstract must be written only in Khmer. In
the case of Abstract in Khmer, all technical terms must be remained in original language
except common and well-known technical terms could be used in Khmer. Moreover, this
abstract should be presented separately from the thesis manuscript, so it must be able to stand
alone. Therefore, references should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and
year(s). Moreover, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if
essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
3.9. Abbreviations and symbols
All abbreviations and symbols that are not standard and well known in the field of
enginnering should be defined in the abbreviations and symbols page. In the case that any
abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract, they must be defined at their first mention

symbols throughout the thesis manuscript.
Page 8 of 26
3.10. Table of contents
Table of contents should contain all informations on heading and sub-heading of all
chapters presented in the thesis manuscript. Title pages, Acknowledgements, Abstract,
Abbreviations and Symbols, Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables must not
be numbered in the Table of Contents (See Example in Appendices). The sequencing numeral
shall be started from Introduction (e.g., 1. INTRODUCTION) while the subdivision
contained within Introduction chapter should be numbered 1.1. (then 1.1.1., 1.1.2., ...), 1.2.,
etc. This numbering system should also be used in the following chaptersi.e., 2.
LITERATURE REVIEW, 3. METHODOLOGY or MATERIALS AND METHODS, 4.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, 5. CONCLUSIONS (AND RECOMMENDATIONS).
On the other hand, REFERENCES, and APPENDICES should appear without any
numbering system.
3.11. List of figures

where the figures exist. Figure caption must be numbered in a consecutive sequencei.e.,
Figure 1.1., Figure 2.1., Figure 3.1., etc., in accordance with their appearance in the thesis.
Figure 1.1. refers to the first figure appeared in chapter 1, Figure 2.1. refers to the first figure
appeared in chapter 2, Figure 3.1. refers to the first figure appeared in chapter 3, etc. A
caption should comprise a title which is a description of the illustration. Author must keep
text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations
used within the illustrations. In the case that Figure is cited from other sources, student must
put the reference after the Figure caption.
A figure is a single, concise, pictorial, visual summary of the process or finding
during the research activities. It should be well designed and prepared so that it could be
understood by readers at a single glance. The authors must provide an image/graph that

All numbers used in thesis content/tables must be Arabic numerals (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.).
Table embedded in the thesis manuscript could be accompanied by the footnotes to
tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Author must
ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in thesis
Page 9 of 26
manuscript. In the case of simple one parameter tables, author is recommended to present
such information in the text itself.
3.13. Introduction
Introduction should contain the rationale/background, goal and objectives, and scope
together with the limitation of the study. Student should begin with the establishment of a
study territory by showing the importance, interesting, and/or problems of the general study
area, and/or by reviewing the previous studies. Student could then continue with the
indication of gab or weakness of previous study based on which the present study must be
conducted. At last, student should finish the introduction section with the announcement of
the goal and specific objectives of the study with the scope/limitation of present study
(Hartley, 2008).
3.14. Literature review
Author could prepare the literature review by taking into account the following
criteria:
To show the history of the related study field/topic
To review all previous work done related to the thesis topic
To integrate and synthesis work from different study field/topic
To present/evaluate the current state of art of study field/topic
To reveal the inadequacies in literature and gap where further research needs
to be done
3.15. Methodology or Materials and Methods
In this section, title of this section could be chosen either Methodology or Materials
and Methods accordingly to Advisor Preference. In general format, Author must provide
sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced; in addition, methods already published
should be indicated by a reference while only the modifications should be described.
Methodology is usually sub-divided into many sub-sections viz:
. Materials for the study: author must describe in detail (physic-chemical
characteristics, technical specification, data, model, software, equipment, etc.)
the raw materials used for the study.
For example: The raw composting mixture consisted of swine manure, a
compost product produced previously in our laboratory from swine manure,
sawdust, and a commercial seeding material (Alles G; Matsumoto Laboratory
of Microorganisms Co., Ltd., Matsumoto, Japan) in a ratio of
. Experimental operation for the study: author must describe (in detail) how
laboratory or full-scale experimental set-up is constructed. Author is also
required to describe how set-up is operated to ensure that the re-fabrication of
the experimental system.
Page 10 of 26
For example:
1-Laboratory-scale experimental set-up composed of a mini-reactor made of
a Pyrex glass cylinder, 45 mm in diameter, 100 mm in height, and sealed with
silicone rubber stoppers with glass pipes for aeration
2-The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM Version 5.0.022; Rossman,
2010; US EPA, 2011) was used to simulate current and projected watershed
conditions. Sub-catchments were delineated to collect precipitation, and the
kinematic wave method (Rossman, 2010) was used to route water through..
. Parameter analyses: author must describe (in details) how to
measure/determine each parameter during the study; this includes the
condition of the machine and the model of machine used. It is also important
to note that one parameter analysis must be described in one sub-section.
For example: A DNA extraction kit, ISOIL for Beads Beating (Nippon Gene
Co., Ltd., Toyama, Japan), was used for the extraction of DNA from the
compost samples collected at days
In the case that author would like to include the formulae and equations in the
manuscript, each formulae/equation should be given separate numberingi.e., (Eq. 1.1.),
(Eq. 2.1.), etc. Eq. 1.1. refers to the first equation/formulae appeared in chapter 1 while Eq.
2.1. refers to the first equation/formulae appeared in chapter 2.
3.16. Results and discussion
The results should be clear and concise, separated into different sub-sections
depending on the findings, and discussing the significance of the results/findings, not repeat
them. In this part, author should state the main findings in order and evaluate how the results
fit in the previous findings; therefore, citation and discussion of the published work should be
included in this part.
3.17. Conclusions (and Recommendations)
The main conclusions drawn from results should be presented in a short conclusions
section. Author must ensure that the conclusions response/reflect the specific objectives
stated in the introduction section. Any discussion must not be included in this section.
In the recommendations section, author should (not obligate) describe the
limitation/gap of the study based on which author should recommend for further
studies/investigations.
3.18. References
It is a must to ensure that each reference cited in the thesis manuscript is also
presented in the reference list, and vice versa. It is recommended that the unpublished results
and personal communications should not be used for citation. References list should be
Page 11 of 26
arranged alphabetically. In the case that more than one reference from the same author(s) in
the same year, it must be identified by the letters a, b, c, etc; these letters should be
placed after the year of publication.
For example: Author Mongkul has published two journals in 2013 and we would
like to reference these two journals; thus, the citation will be Based on the recent study
(Mongkul, 2013a, 2013b),.
Reference list should be prepared based on the type of document, for instance:
