Introduction (berschrift 1)
These formatting guidelines have been defined for written papers at the Professorship of Information Systems and Strategic IT Management (BWL SIM). For formatting the text, the predefined styles should be used. A different styleguide may be used in coordination with the supervisor only. Text accentuations should be made using italic type.
Headers and Pages Numbers (berschrift 2)
The page number is displayed in the upper right corner of the page header. There is no page number on the title page. Serif type (Georgia, otherwise Times New Roman), 10 pt, line below, should be used. The introducing part of the paper (title page, abstract, and index tables) have to be numbered in Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ), the main part of the paper with Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, ).
1.1 Page Setup
Page size A4, margins left and right 2.5 cm, top 3 cm, bottom 2 cm, mutiple pages: Normal
Standard text: Serif type (Georgia, otherwise Times New Roman) 12pt, line spacing 1.5 lines, spacing after paragraph 6pt, justified text[footnoteRef:1] without hyphenation (for English papers). [1: Footnote in serif typeface (Georgia, otherwise Times New Roman) 10pt.]
Example of Header 3 (berschrift 3)1.1.1.1 Example of Header 4 (berschrift 4)
And here the text continues.
Differences Between Paper Types
These guidelines should be used for seminar papers as well as for bachelor and master theses. The following differences between the paper types should be considered.
Page Limits
Seminar Paper: 10-15 pages (Bachelor), 15-20 pages (Master)
Bachelor Thesis: 40 pages ( 5 pages)
Master Thesis: approx. 90 pages ( 10 pages)
Title Page
On the title page, two modifications have to be done: For bachelor and master theses, the specification of the semester (e.g., Winter Term 2013/14) should be removed. Furthermore, the lines
Seminar Paper for the Seminar
Seminar Title
should be replaced by
Bachelor Thesis
or
Master Thesis
respectively.
Lists of Figures and Tables
In seminar papers, the lists of figures and tables may be put on the same page as long as sufficient space is available on a single page. For other paper types, the two lists should begin on individual pages.
Figures and TablesFigures
Figures should be included with a frame, which ends right and left justified with the text; line width of the frame pt, line width in the figure minimum 1pt, figure title below the figure.
Figure 1. Title of Figure (Beschriftung)
There should be no page break between a figure and its title.
Tables

Here, the text continues. Table titles should be placed above the tables. The table itself should end right and left justified with the text.
Literature
Literature should be cited within the text (Shannon and Weaver 1949). The complete reference should be included in the reference list.
References with:
One author: (Choe 1996)
Two authors: (DeLone and McLean 2003)
More than two authors: (Gable et al. 2003)
Two references: (DeLone and McLean 2003; Gable et al. 2003)
Internet sources should be similar to other references (see example in references): (Saunders 2011).
For direct citations, the page numbers have to be included. According to DeLone and McLean (2003), a causal or variance model studies the covariance of the success dimensions to determine if there exists a causal relationship among them (DeLone and McLean 2003, p. 11).
