ABSTRACT

Page numbers are normally placed 20 mm from the bottom of the page and are centred between the margin lines (110 mm from left-hand edge of the paper). The exception to this rule is the title page which, although technically designated page 1, is not actually numbered. Appendices (such as off-prints of articles) that have been previously page-numbered in their publications, are re-numbered within the sequence in which they are presented in the dissertation. As the order of the different sections of the dissertation may be changed while the work and the typing or word-processing of the work progresses, the final numbering of the pages should be left until the entire dissertation is assembled. If typing the page numbers in at this stage presents great difficulties, it is sometimes permissible to write the page numbers in ink. This concession does not apply normally to research degree theses or dissertations in which page numbers must be typed.
