Title page. Center the title of your paper. Beneath it, center your name. Include other relevant information, such as the course name and number, the instructor’s name, and the date submitted.
Margins and spacing. Leave standard margins at the top and bottom and on both sides of each page. Double-space the text and the references list.
Page numbers. Type a short version of the paper’s title and the page number in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
Abstract. CSE style frequently calls for a one-paragraph abstract (about one hundred words). The abstract should be on a separate page, right after the title page, with the title Abstract centered one inch from the top of the page.
Headings. CSE style does not require headings, but it notes that they can help readers quickly find the contents of a section of the paper.
Tables and figures. Tables and figures must be labeled Table or Figure and numbered separately, one sequence for tables and one for figures. Give each table and figure a short, informative title. Be sure to introduce each table and figure in your text, and comment on its significance.
List of references. Start the list of references on a new page at the end of the essay, and continue to number the pages consecutively. Center the title References one inch from the top of the page, and double-space before beginning the first entry.
