When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.
However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.
This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.
Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!
After your document has been edited, you will receive an email with a link to download the document.
The editor has made changes to your document using ‘Track Changes’ in Word. This means that you only have to accept or ignore the changes that are made in the text one by one.
It is also possible to accept all changes at once. However, we strongly advise you not to do so for the following reasons:
You choose the turnaround time when ordering. We can return your dissertation within 24 hours , 3 days or 1 week . These timescales include weekends and holidays.

In the realm of academic writing , a well-structured research paper is essential for conveying complex ideas and findings effectively. A critical component of this structure is the table of contents, which serves as a roadmap for readers to guide them through the various sections and subsections of the paper. This article will delve into the format and designs of TOCs, aiding you with various examples.
Inhaltsverzeichnis
A table of contents is a list found at the beginning of a written work and acts as a guide to help readers easily find certain sections.
In what format are you currently required to submit your thesis?
A table of contents, also known as “Contents” or “TOC,” is a crucial organizational element found at the start of a written work, such as a dissertation , book, or academic essay . It provides a detailed listing of the numerous sections, chapters, and subsection titles included in the document, along with their corresponding page numbers. It should list all front matter, main content, and back matter, including the headings and page numbers of all chapters and the bibliography . A good TOC allows readers to quickly navigate to specific parts of the text, enhancing the accessibility and usability of the work. Therefore, it should be completed last to ensure its complete accuracy. Although you can create a manual table of contents, many word-processing tools like Microsoft Word let you format your Contents automatically.

A TOC typically follows a structured format to ensure clarity and ease of navigation. Many word processors such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs can automatically do the work for you with traditional tables. However, it is advisable to customize it to your liking and double-check that the titles and page numbers are in line with your academic work.
The length of your document determines which type of TOC to choose. There are three types: single-level, subdivided, and multi-level. Each one will be explained below.
Multi-level.
This is the simplest format and lists only the first-level headings of the document without any subdivisions. This format is usually not suited for longer documents, such as dissertations.
A subdivided TOC includes first-level headings along with second-level headings that provide more detail.
A multi-level TOC provides an in-depth structure by including multiple heading levels, such as main sections, subsections (second-level headings), and sub-subsections (third-level headings). This type, however, can get very convoluted due to its complexity if more than third-level headings are used.
The general format of a TOC, suitable for use in a dissertation, essay, or any other extensive written work should include the following points:
Some assignments have specific requirements for margins, indentations, and spacing, so you may need to adjust them to ensure your academic paper meets the necessary standards. Digital tables of contents, such as for digital books or presentations, often offer links for you to jump quickly to any section with a simple click.
In the context of TOCs, “leaders” or “dot leaders” refer to the series of dotted lines or dashes that connect section titles to their corresponding page numbers. The dotted lines serve as a navigational guide, guiding the reader’s eye across the page and aiding in the identification of each section with its page number. Simple table of contents examples can be found in a different article, which you can read by clicking on the button below.
For the APA style , there are format guidelines that you should adhere to. Here is what a proper table of contents must include:
Creating a TOC in Word can be done using built-in features in each application. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do it.
In this paragraph , you will learn how to create, format, and add a TOC in Google Docs.
PowerPoint does not have a built-in feature to create an automatic TOC, but you can create one manually. There are two options: the zoom feature, which highlights each section by using a thumbnail of the slide or typing the TOC manually with links to switch back to the TOC slide.
Toc with links.
The image below depicts an example TOC slide with zoom thumbnails.
The image below shows a TOC slide, where the hyperlink is perfectly hidden in the bottom-left corner.
A table of contents is a navigational guide that lists sections and chapters in a document, often along with their corresponding page numbers. It serves as a roadmap for the reader, allowing them to quickly locate specific parts of the document.
The table of contents is found on a page right at the beginning of an academic writing project. It comes specifically after the title page and acknowledgements, but before the introductory page of a writing project. This position at the beginning of an academic piece of writing is universal for all academic projects.
A sample table of contents includes the title of the paper at the very top, followed by the chapter names and subtitles in chronological order. At the end of each line is the page number of the corresponding headings. Examples of chapter names can be: executive summary, introduction, project description, marketing plan, summary, and conclusion. The abstract and acknowledgments are usually not included in the table of contents; however, this could depend on the formatting that is required by your institution.

Set the "normal" style of font.
Before we can set up headings, we'll need to define the format of the text that isn't a heading. The "styles" in word set some default formatting for text. Setting up the "Normal" style will create a default font setting to keep the text uniform throughout the document. The Styles pane is located under the HOME tab.
Right click on the "Normal" style to open the Modify option.
This will open a Modify Style Dialog Box. Start by changing the Paragraph formatting. This is located by selecting the Format drop down in the bottom left of the Dialog Box.
There are two things that should be set under the Paragraph settings. Under the INDENTS AND SPACING tab, check to turn on "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style." Under the LINE AND PAGE BREAKS tab, check to turn on the "Widow/Orphan Control."
Once both of those have been set and you click "okay," you'll be returned to the Modify Style Dialog Box. Now we can set the font formatting. Select the font you wish to use throughout the document, change the font size to 12 point, ensure the line spacing is double spaced, and select the option to remove space between paragraphs (this is indicated by two lines pointing towards each other).
Inserting headings and subheadings.
Using the same technique we can create a standard for the various types of headings and subheadings used across the thesis. The Thesis & Dissertation Manual generally follows APA style for heading levels. In order to keep headings consistently correct and link the Table of Contents, the Styles function in Word is used. This is going to show you some examples of the formatting required for the headings and how to use the various heading levels. We'll also see how to use styles and update your Table of Contents.
Level 1 headings.
Chapters will be linked to Heading Level 1. If you choose not to have chapters, you will use level 1 for your major headings (typically: Introduction, Literature Review, Methods, etc.). They should be typed in title case, center aligned, and bold. The number of the chapter can be in Arabic or Roman numerals or spelled out so long as it is consistently done throughout the document. The heading should be on one line, so if you are using chapters, it should look something like this:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Once you have formatted a chapter heading, select the text of the chapter heading then right click on Heading 1 in the Styles pane and select "Update Heading 1 to Match Selection."
Once you have formatted the first heading and updated the style, you simply need to type the new level 1 heading in title case and then, with your cursor in line with the heading, click on the heading 1 button in the styles pane to format it and link it for your table of contents. Make sure to use this feature every time to ensure all headings are properly linked to your table of contents.
Subsections of your major headings should be the next level down. Level 2 headings will be left aligned, bold, and title case. They should look like this:
Level 2 Heading
Once you have formatted a level 2 heading, select the text of the heading then right click on Heading 2 in the Styles pane and select "Update Heading 2 to Match Selection."
Once you have formatted the first heading and updated the style, you simply need to type the new level 2 heading in title case and then, with your cursor in line with the heading, click on the heading 2 button in the styles pane to format it and link it for your table of contents. Make sure to use this feature every time to ensure all headings are properly linked to your table of contents.
If you wish to further subsection your paper, you will use level 3 headings. Level 3 headings will be bold italic, left aligned, and title case. They should look like this:
Level Three Heading
Once you have formatted a level 3 heading, select the text of the heading then right click on Heading 3 in the Styles pane and select "Update Heading 3 to Match Selection."
Once you have formatted the first heading and updated the style, you simply need to type the new level 3 heading in title case and then, with your cursor in line with the heading, click on the heading 3 button in the styles pane to format it and link it for your table of contents. Make sure to use this feature every time to ensure all headings are properly linked to your table of contents.
It is common to find the first 3 heading levels in papers that are as long as a thesis or dissertation. Occasionally, you may find the need to go beyond those levels. It is important to note that for the thesis and dissertation, only the first 3 headings should be included in the table of contents. It is also recommended that you only use the styles function for the first 3 headings because they stand alone on their own line of text. The next heading levels will begin on the same line as the paragraph that starts that section which means that the style function will not work properly. If you were to link the heading, the entire paragraph will appear in your table of contents.
This means that you will need to, carefully, ensure you are formatting the headings manually. Each level should be consistently formatted the same way. APA has standards for levels 4 & 5 which are described here. For heading levels beyond level 5, you should pick a consistent formatting that clearly indicates they are a subsection of the level 5 heading. It is also recommended that you carefully evaluate if this level of heading is truly necessary for your writing.
Level 4 headings will begin on the same line of the paragraph that makes up the section. It will be indented 0.5", much like a normal paragraph indent. The heading will be in title case and bold font with a period at the end of the heading:
Level Four Heading Here. Start the first sentence of the paragraph that follows the heading on the same line and continue typing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc at pellentesque massa. Sed nec urna nec est efficitur iaculis. Etiam efficitur velit id dignissim eleifend. Duis euismod, nisi sed cursus sodales, sem nisi porttitor ante, eu dignissim justo tortor nec mauris.
Level 5 headings will begin on the same line of the paragraph that makes up the section. It will be indented 0.5", much like a normal paragraph indent. The heading will be in title case and bold italic font with a period at the end of the heading:
Level Five Heading Here. Start the first sentence of the paragraph that follows the heading on the same line and continue typing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc at pellentesque massa. Sed nec urna nec est efficitur iaculis. Etiam efficitur velit id dignissim eleifend. Duis euismod, nisi sed cursus sodales, sem nisi porttitor ante, eu dignissim justo tortor nec mauris.
Once you have added headings and used the styles feature, you will be able to use the word function to "generate" a table of contents. You will need to type "Table of Contents" in bold font, centered at the top of the page you will be inserting your table of contents onto. Then, place your cursor on the next line
From the References tab, click on Table of Contents and select Custom Table of Contents...
From the pop up window, you will want to change the tab leaders to (none) rather than the default. The rest of the default settings will be fine, so click ok once you've done so.
This will populate your table of contents.
From here, you will need to open the style pane to modify some of the formatting of the table of contents.
You will need to locate TOC 1 and click on it, and select "modify" from the drop down list.
TOC 1 style should be bold. If you've properly set up your "normal style" of font (see above), this should be the only modification to your TOC styles that you need to make. If the text is not properly set up and you need to further format it, you can do so from this window.
If set up correctly, your table of contents should look like the image below.

How To Write a Table of Contents for Academic Papers Although every author begins a writing project with the best of intentions and an ideal outline in mind, it often proves difficult to stick to one’s initial plans as the text begins to unfold and its complexities grow in number and depth. Sometimes a document quickly exceeds the word limits for a project, and at others certain important aspects are neglected or turn out a good deal shorter than intended. Drafting a working table of contents for your writing project can provide an excellent tool for keeping your discussion on track and your text within length requirements as you write.
A working table of contents should begin with a title. This title may change as you draft your text, but a working title will help you focus your thoughts as you devise the headings and plan the content for the main parts, chapters, sections and subsections that should be added beneath it. All headings, whether numbered or not, should be formatted in effective and consistent ways that distinguish section levels and clearly indicate the overall structure of the text. These headings can also be altered as your writing advances, but they will provide an effective outline of what you need to discuss and the order in which you think the main topics should be presented. At this initial stage, it is also a good idea to write under each heading a brief summary of or rough notes about what you hope to include in that part of the document, and you can continue to add, adjust and move material around within and among the sections as your table of contents and ultimately your text progresses. Reminders of how long (measured in words, paragraphs or pages) the entire text and each of its parts should ideally be may also prove helpful.
Once you have your annotated table of contents drafted, it will serve as an informative list of both content and order that can be productively consulted as you write. Assuming you construct your working table of contents as a computer file in the same program you intend to use for writing the entire document, you can also use the table of contents as a template for composing the text as a whole, replacing your rough notes under each heading with the formal text as you draft it. This practice lends an immediate physical presence to the guidance provided by your table of contents because you are literally working within that outline, which can be especially wise if you tend to run on or become distracted by new ideas as you write.
Finally, your working table of contents can become your final table of contents if one is required for your project. If you would like to use the working table of contents in this way and are also using it as a template, be sure to rename the file and save a separate copy before you begin adding the formal text of your document. Then you can simply delete your summaries and rough notes from the original table of contents to make your final one, leaving only the headings, to which you can add relevant page numbers as required.
