The researcher should follow the correct format and style in
typing the research paper. The following are the guidelines with
sample illustrations.
1. Template. Researchers are required to follow the

institutional template given by the RDO. Paper size is 8.5″ x 11″
(letter), Arial 12. The template follows the standardize margin.
2. Page Number. Preliminaries should be in Roman

Numerals, while the main part of the feasibility paper is in Arabic
Numerals.
PAPER ELEMENTS AND FORMATTING
3. Spacing. The body of the research should be double line
spacing. Exceptions to double line spacing are as follows:
• Title page
• Table numbers, table titles and table figure
• Figures
• Displayed equations
4. Tables. Tables should only include borders and lines that are
needed for clarity (i.e., between elements of a decked head, above
column spanners, separating total rows, etc.). Do not use vertical
borders, and do not use borders around each cell. Spacing and strict
alignment is typically enough to clarify relationships between
elements.
5. Sub-components should be indented and italicized. This is to
distinguish the level of importance of the components of a feasibility
study.
