Citation style and sources
The citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, etc.) is specified in order to cite sources correctly in the text and the bibliography.
It is important to mark direct quotations, paraphrases, and references consistently and according to the required citation style.
Structure
A typical structure includes a title/cover page, table of contents, introduction, main body, conclusion, bibliography/source list, and, if applicable, appendices and affidavit.
The introduction introduces the topic, specifies the research question, and explains the approach.
The main body is logically structured, often organized by topic or argument.
The conclusion summarizes the most important findings and reflects on the research question.
Language
Clear, precise, and objective scientific language is required.
Avoid colloquial language, subjective formulations, and unnecessary filler words. Use gender-neutral expressions.
