How to format a term paper

On the basis of the instructions that are offered by our mentor or university, the term paper has to be formatted. But, common formatting rules exist, which are followed in an extensive manner. To format an ideal term paper in an appropriate manner, we provide a general guideline explicitly:

  1. Typical Formatting
  • Font: Use Arial or Times New Roman font.
  • Font size: The size should be 12 pt.
  • Line spacing: Double-spacing is important.
  • Margins: On all sides of the paper, we have to provide 1 inch (2.54 cm) margin.
  • Alignment: It must be left-aligned (not justified).

Encompass the following details in cover page:
