What’s the purpose of a report cover page, 20 free report cover page templates, how to make a report cover page, report cover page faqs.

You didn’t spend umpteen hours researching, writing, editing, proofing and perfecting your  business report  just for nobody to read it, right? Your report cover page, also known as your title page, matters because it’s the first thing people see. Your report cover page is a first impression.

From it, people make snap judgments like:

  • What is this about?
  • Do I need to read this?
  • Is this going to be worth my time?

Several things subconsciously make up those judgments, including:

  • Your title, and how intriguing it is (or isn’t).
  • The cover page’s design.

Because it’s your first page, seeing a polished and professional report cover page / title page subconsciously makes people assume your report is equally as high quality, too. And that makes them more likely to actually read it and have a positive opinion of it afterwards.

All ready to impress? Let’s take a look at 20 report cover page templates that’ll help you nail those first impressions and  create an amazing report !

  • Wow your boss/team/mom

Whoever’s gonna be reading your report will be heckin’ impressed by your top notch style, friend. Nicely done.

What should be on a report cover page?

There is only one “must-have” thing on your report cover: your report title.

But, most people also include:

  • Your company name
  • Company website URL
  • Contact information, like email or phone number (usually only if giving a presentation)
  • An identifier of what type of report it is (e.g. “ Annual Report ,” “Q4 Earnings Report,” “ Progress Update ,” etc)

Ultimately, what you include is up to you and the requirements of your report. You can easily add new text fields or images — or edit existing ones — to any of our  report cover page templates  to suit your needs.

Does my report cover page need to match the rest of my report?

Well… it’d be nice if it did. But no, it’s not required.

For example, your report may be in a spreadsheet format, or listing out balance sheets and financial statements. Most of these types of reports are automatically generated from software. Trying to brand them by copy and pasting that content into a nice looking template probably isn’t worth your time.

Plus, the people reviewing those reports are likely expecting the familiar format they’re used to and may be put off by a big change.

But your report cover page and actual report don’t need to be identical to “match.”

As long as the font in your report isn’t size 36 Comic Sans, attaching a nicely designed cover page will make any report appear more professional and put together. (If your report  is  in Comic Sans, sorry, nothing can redeem it.)

Make a report cover page in 60 seconds or less

A professional, well-designed report cover page communicates the value of your report right away. It immediately gives your reader the impression of importance and competence, which is probably what you want your boss to think about you.

Plus, a great title page makes it much more likely your report will actually be read.

To recap, here’s how to make your own report cover page in less than 60 seconds:

  • Step 1:  Sign up for a free  Venngage account .
  • Step 2:  Choose a report cover page template.
  • Step 3:  Add your branding, colors, fonts, and edit the text.
  • Step 4 (Optional):  Create the rest of your report with matching report page templates.
  • Step 5:  Save, share, print or export your cover and attach it to your existing report.

It’s really that quick to make a professional report cover page using a Venngage report cover page template. Gather your brand elements and report title and go forth and rock that report!

These differences mostly extend to the title page and running head. Crucially, citation practices do not differ between the two styles of paper.

On This Page:

In APA Style (7th edition), the cover page, or title page, should include:
  • A running head (professional papers only) and page number
  • The title of the paper
  • The name of the author(s)
  • The institutional affiliation
  • An author note; optional (professional papers only)
  • A student paper should also include course information
Note : APA 7 provides slightly different directions for formatting the title pages of professional papers (e.g., those intended for scholarly publication) and student papers (e.g., those turned in for credit in a high school or college course).

Professional paper APA title page

An example of an APA format reference page

Student paper APA title page

An example of an APA format reference page

Formatting an APA title page

Note : All text on the title page should be double-spaced and typed in either 12-point, Times New Roman font. In the 7th edition, APA increaded the flexibility regarding font options: which now include Calibri 11, Arial 11, Lucida Sans Unicode 10, Times New Roman 12, or Georgia 11. All words should be centered, and capitalize the first letter of important words.

Running Head

In the 7th edition of the APA style manual, running heads are only required for professional papers that are being submitted for publication (student papers do not require a running head, but still need a page number).

Your title page should contain a running head that is flush left at the top of the page and a page number that is flush right at the top of the page.

Place the running head in the page’s header:

  • The running head is the abbreviated title of the paper (IN UPPERCASE LETTERS) aligned left on the page header of all pages, including the title page. APA (7th edition) guidelines require that running heads be a maximum of 50 characters (spaces count as characters).
  • The “Running head:” label used in the APA sixth edition is no longer used.
  • Place the page number in this same header, but align right, beginning with page number 1 on the title page.
  • This header should be 1 inch from the top. Some instructors allow for 1/2 inch, too, but the default is 1 inch.

Paper Title

Position the title of the paper in the upper half of the page. The title should be centered and written in boldface, and important words should be capitalized.

The APA recommends that your title should be a maximum of 12 words and should not contain abbreviations or words that serve no purpose.

Author Name(s)

Institutional affiliation.

Position the school or university’s name below the author(s) name, centered.

A student paper should also include the course number and name, instructor name, and assignment due date.

Research Paper Title

Research Paper Title Page

Research Paper Title Page is the cover page of a research paper that provides basic information about the paper. It typically includes the title of the research paper, the author’s name, the date of submission, and the name of the institution or department where the research was conducted.

The title page of a research paper typically includes the following information:

  • Date of submission or publication
  • Name of the academic institution or organization where the research was conducted (if applicable)

Research Paper Title Page

Notes on formatting:

  • The title of your research paper should be centered on the page, and should be written in title case (capitalizing the first letter of each major word).
  • Your name should be written underneath the title, centered on the page.
  • Your institutional affiliation (e.g. the name of your university or research institution) should be written underneath your name, centered on the page.
  • The date of submission should be written underneath your institutional affiliation, centered on the page.

Research Paper Title Page Writing Guide

Here are some guidelines for writing a research paper title page:

  • Title of the paper: The title should be concise and descriptive, reflecting the main idea or focus of the research paper. The title should be centered on the page and in title case (capitalize the first letter of each major word).
  • Author’s name : The author’s name should be written below the title, also centered on the page. Use first name, middle initial, and last name.
  • Institutional affiliation: The institutional affiliation is the name of the university, college, or organization where the research was conducted. It should be listed below the author’s name and centered on the page.
  • Date of submission: The date of submission is the date when the research paper is being submitted for review or publication. It should be written below the institutional affiliation and centered on the page.
  • Running head: A running head is a short version of the title that is used on subsequent pages of the paper. It should be written in all caps and flush left at the top of each page.
  • Page number: The page number should be flush right at the top of each page.
  • Font and spacing: Use a standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial in 12-point size. Double-space the entire title page.

Purpose of Research Paper Title Page

The purpose of the research paper title page is to:

  • Identify the title of the research paper: The title page provides the title of the paper in a clear and concise manner so that readers can quickly understand the topic of the research.
  • Indicate the author(s) of the paper: The title page should include the name(s) of the author(s) who conducted the research and wrote the paper. This information helps to establish credibility and accountability for the research.
  • Provide information about the institutional affiliation: The title page should also include the name of the institution where the research was conducted. This information helps readers understand the context of the research and can be useful for citations and further research.
  • Give the date of the research: The title page should include the date that the research was conducted or the paper was written. This information helps readers understand the currency of the research and can be useful for citing sources.
  • Include other relevant information: Depending on the requirements of the research paper, the title page may also include other relevant information such as the course title, instructor’s name, or a brief abstract of the research.
  • Establish a professional appearance : The title page provides an opportunity to present the research paper in a professional and organized manner. A well-designed title page with all necessary information can make a positive first impression on readers and demonstrate the author’s attention to detail.
  • Facilitate easy referencing: A properly formatted title page can help readers locate the research paper easily in a database, library, or other sources. This is particularly important for academic and scientific research papers that may be referenced frequently by others.
  • Comply with formatting guidelines : Many academic and scientific disciplines have specific formatting guidelines for research papers, including requirements for the title page. Adhering to these guidelines ensures that the research paper is presented in a consistent and standardized format that is familiar to readers in that field.
  • Demonstrate compliance with ethical standards: Some academic institutions require that the title page include a statement of compliance with ethical standards for research, such as human subjects’ protection, data privacy, or animal welfare. This information ensures that the research was conducted in an ethical and responsible manner.

Advantages of Research Paper Title Page

There are several advantages to including a title page in a research paper, including:

  • Professional Appearance: A title page provides a professional appearance to the research paper. It is the first thing that readers see, and it gives them an impression of the paper’s overall quality.
  • Credibility : Including a title page with all the necessary information, such as the author’s name, institutional affiliation, and the date of submission, enhances the credibility of the research paper.
  • Easy Identification: A title page makes it easier for readers to identify the research paper among other papers. It provides important information about the paper, such as the title, author’s name, and institutional affiliation.
  • Easy Access: A title page provides a quick reference for readers who need to cite the research paper in their own work. The necessary information is all in one place and easily accessible.
  • Compliance with Formatting Guidelines: Many academic institutions have specific formatting guidelines for research papers, including the use of a title page. Including a title page ensures compliance with these guidelines and helps avoid any confusion or penalties.

APA Title Page (7th edition) | Template for Students & Professionals

Published on November 6, 2020 by Raimo Streefkerk . Revised on January 17, 2024.

Paper title

  • Author name
  • Department and university name
  • Course number and name
  • Instructor name
  • Due date of the assignment

The professional title page also includes an author note (flushed left), but not a course name, instructor name, or due date.

APA title page - student version (7th edition)

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

Write an informative, striking title that summarizes the topic of your paper. Try to keep the title focused and use relevant keywords.

Place the title three or four lines down from the top of the paper. Center align and bold it. Don’t forget to use title case capitalization (capitalize the first letter of each word, except small words such as articles and short prepositions).

Write the author’s name under the paper title (leave a blank line in between). Give their full names (first name, middle initial(s) and last name), but don’t include titles (Dr., Prof.) or degrees (Ph.D., MSc).

Multiple authors on the title page

List the authors in order of their contribution. If there are two authors, separate their names with the word “and”, like this:

If there are more than two authors, separate their names with a comma. Only write “and” before the last author, like this:

Write the author’s affiliation on the next line under the author names. Students should specify the department and institution where they’re attending school. Professional researchers should specify the department and institution where they conducted their research.

Multiple authors with different affiliations

Use superscript numbers on the author line to indicate which institution they’re affiliated with. Don’t use superscript numbers if all authors are affiliated with the same institution (and department).

Scribbr Citation Checker New

The AI-powered Citation Checker helps you avoid common mistakes such as:

  • Missing commas and periods
  • Incorrect usage of “et al.”
  • Ampersands (&) in narrative citations
  • Missing reference entries

cover page of a research report

On a student title page, provide information about the course. List the following information on separate (double spaced) lines under the author’s affiliation:

  • Instructor(s)
  • Assignment’s due date

For professional papers, you may include an author note. This note may contain the author’s ORCID iD, affiliation changes, disclosures of conflicts of interest, brief acknowledgments, and contact information (in that specific order). Present this information in separate paragraphs.

Place the author note on the bottom half of the page. Center the label “Author note” and apply bold styling. The paragraphs in the author note are left-aligned. The first line of each new paragraph is indented.

For more information about formatting the author note, see section 2.7 of the APA Publication Manual.

For a student title page, the page header consists of just a page number in the top-right corner. There is no need for a running head (as was the case in APA 6th edition).

A professional title page does have a running head. The running head is an abbreviated version of the paper title in all capital letters. The maximum length is 50 characters (counting spaces).

Images are not usually included on an APA title page, and APA does not provide any guidelines for doing so. It’s usually viewed as unprofessional to include an image, since the title page is there to provide information, not for decoration.

If you do decide to include an image on your title page, make sure to check whether you need permission from the creator of the image. Include a note directly underneath the image acknowledging where it comes from, beginning with the word “ Note .” (italicized and followed by a period):

  • If you found the image online or in another source, include a citation and copyright attribution .
  • If it’s an image you created yourself (e.g., a photograph you took, an infographic you designed), explain this (e.g., “Photograph taken by the author.”).

Don’t give the image a label, title, or number. Only images within the text itself are labeled as figures .

August 29, 2019

A reader can become engaged or irritated after seeing your research paper title page.

Creating the title page for research paper is sometimes more difficult for students than writing a research paper.

How To Make A Title Page For Research Paper

The first thing you need to know is that there are primarily three formats for your title page – APA, Chicago style, and MLA. Your instructor will most likely tell you which format is ideal for the paper. The title page has to contain some precise information about the research in a few words. So, what should be contained in a research paper title page?

The front page of your research paper should contain your full name as it is stated on all your educational certificates. That should be on the same page where you put the topic.

Title Of The Research Paper

Make sure you come up with a good title for research paper and put it on the cover page along with your name. Make sure that the title is interesting. Also, it should not be misleading in any way but should provide a glimpse into the entire content. Typically, the title of the research paper title is expected to be written in capital letters and bold fonts.

Supervisor’s Name

Another important detail to add is the full name of the research supervisor. If you go through the research paper title page examples, you’ll see that adding the supervisor’s name is a must.

Course Information

You need to provide some information about the course, including the course code, academic year, and semester.

Now you know what your research paper title page is expected to contain, it’s time to dive into how to make a title page like a professional. Below are some useful tips for creating the perfect paper title page:

Use The Right Format

As stated earlier, there are three main research paper formats. The one you use will depend on what you’ve been instructed to use. However, you need to make sure you stick to one format from the title to the conclusion.

Chicago-format

If you’ve been instructed to use the Chicago format, you have to make sure all the content on the cover page is aligned to the center. Your paper title should be halfway into the page. After the page title, write your full name followed by the name of your instructor and then the course title. There is no need to number the cover page when you’re using the Chicago style.

APA-format

When you’re instructed to use the APA style, you have to number the title page at the top right corner. Use Times New Roman as your page font and keep one-inch margins on every side of the cover page. You may not need to write everything in capital letters.

MLA-format

For the MLA format, you need to start a third way into the paper, but it should not be as low as the Chicago style. You can add a subtitle to your original title. Just after that, add your name, the name of your school, the course title, your instructor’s name.

Writing A Research Paper – Quick Overview

After you’ve determined what you want your title page to look like, you need to find out how to start a research paper. It is important to note that each institution may have specific guidelines on how to write a research paper. So, make sure you read these guidelines thoroughly before you start. However, some general rules are as follows:

Don’t Joke With The Research

The research part of the research paper writing is crucial. Before you start writing anything, research the topic thoroughly, and get updated information about every fact you’re going to list. As soon as you understand the topic, you need to gather resources, formulate the idea, develop your thesis statement. Your research should be backed by empirical data. If possible, conduct first-hand research on the subject. Otherwise, look for reliable research on Google Scholar, government publications, encyclopedias, newspapers, and almanacs.

About Your Thesis Statement

Your thesis statement tells your reader what the main point of your essay is and what your supporting points are. It can be one or two sentences that prepare the minds of the readers for what is to come. Make sure that everything in the body of your paper is in line with the thesis statement, not opposite. Your thesis statement should appear at the end of your introduction and or should match the topic.

Work With An Outline

Your work would flow better if you use an outline from the beginning to the end. Your outline should be made up of all the points you intend to cover in the content. It can also include the research paper format. Make sure that you put down all the subheadings you intend to cover in the content as well as the details of the materials you want to use in each subheading.

Write A Draft First

To increase your chances of creating high-quality work, try writing a draft first. When you’ve completed the draft, you can start writing the content you will submit. Writing a draft first allows you to brainstorm ideas and find the perfect voice for the content.

Progress From Weakest To Strongest Point

For your content to have a logical flow, start with the weakest point, and slowly progress to the strongest. That doesn’t mean you need to start with a point that isn’t backed empirically. It just means the point you start with should not be your strongest. Each point should have a supporting argument as a backup. It makes your content better.

Restate Your Thesis Statement In Your Conclusion

When it’s time to conclude your paper after listing all the relevant points, you can restate your thesis statement as is common in research paper writing examples. That doesn’t mean you should copy and paste your thesis. Just find new words to say it and link all your points to it. Draw the reader’s attention to why all the points you’ve made support your thesis. That applies when you’re research is conclusive. If it is not, make sure you state that in the research is inconclusive.

Review Before Submission

So, you’ve completed your research paper successfully. That’s cool. However, you should not rush into submitting. Revise the work, make edits, and ask someone else to help you read it. Make sure that your work is as flawless as possible. There should be no inaccurate information, grammatical, or typographical errors. The last thing you want to do is submit a compelling research paper with bad grammar or typographical errors.

The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not require you to create a cover page when you complete your research paper, but some instructors may require it.

If your instructor requires your paper to have a cover page, here is how to make it (very easy). This cover page should include: your school name, your research paper title, your name, your class, your professor name and your paper due date.

How to Format Your MLA Cover Page:

  • This page is double spaced and the letters are centered.
  • Font: Times New Roman
  • Font size: 12
  • The first letter of each word should be capitalized with the exception of very short words such as: the, and, of, or, a, an, in, to, for. Note: the first letter of the first word should be capitalized, regardless of what kind of word it is.
  • Type the name of your university, college or high school.
  • Skip to about one-third of the page and type your research paper title, include a subtitle if you have.
  • Skip several lines down and type your name, your course name and number, your instructor name and your paper due date.

Alternate First Page (Important):

  • 6 In a Nutshell

Definition: APA Cover Page

Also known as the title page, an APA cover page is the very front page of an essay. It entails crucial information of the work presented by the author as advised by the examiner. The core duty of the APA cover page is to let the reader identify different parts of your work without having to read the paper.

Also, it also ensures that your work looks professional and well presented. To the learners, the APA cover page helps them know the work that needs to be presented.

Students are mostly asked to write essays or complete their projects in APA Format. However, quite a number of them do not have a clear understanding of what APA format entails and how to use it for their projects. This piece tends to explore the details of an APA cover page to help learners.

This section aims at answering some of the common questions asked by students and scholars looking to have a deeper understanding of the APA Cover Page. Let’s take a look at the five common questions asked about APA Cover page.

What is the APA format?

APA formatting is a style that is mainly used for academic and scholarly journals and books. Mainly, the APA style is used in citing sources that fall within the field of social sciences and other related areas. A perfectly formatted APA thesis entails following the rules of the APA formatting method for APA citation , APA title pages and finally, using these rules for your cover page.

What is the importance of an APA cover page?

To the examiner, the APA cover page helps them get an idea of the academic work in a glance since it contains all of the necessary information about the author’s work. It also allows the writers to present their research paper in an orderly manner that appears more professional and presentable. The cover page is one of the first things a reader will see (after the title page of course).

What’s the difference between the APA cover page and other cover page styles?

Compared to other styles like MLA and Harvard , APA has more details presented on the center of the cover page and a running head that bears a section of the main title of the paper written in capital letters. This is the main difference that immediately becomes obvious when trying to distinguish APA formatting from the other styles.

What are the common mistakes made in the APA cover page?

Though most students and other writers tend to research styles before writing, they make different mistakes whilst trying to craft a perfect APA cover page. Some of the most common mistakes are the placing of the page number, while others do not put page numbers at all, some APA cover pages also lack the running head, or lack clear information. Note that all of the APA title page details must be clearly formatted as well, as this is the very first view that readers will have of your paper.

Do I still have to indicate the title in the actual paper after indicating it in the APA cover page?

Yes. The APA cover page will  be one of the first pages of the essay, book, or any other academic writing work. The title should be on every page (due to the running header) as well as on the title page and cover page. The title should also appear once more on the first page of text, to remind the reader what they’re about to read.

What to Include?

If you are trying to write your piece in APA style, then you have to ensure that it entails a page number, a running head, the name of the author (your name), the title of the paper, and the institutional affiliation. These are the common components of a standard APA cover page, however, you can include more in case you are advised so by the examining body or even the editor if you are using one.

The above example of an APA Cover page depicts what a student or scholar would present in the final essay of a project. Note that what is indicated in the cover page might vary depending on what is requested by the examining body. Nevertheless, other than the details, that is what an APA cover page should look like.

APA-Cover-Page-Example

All Components

Let’s take a close look at what the APA Cover page should contain.

The Running Head

Also known as the page header, a running head is a text that usually appears at the very top of the page and is always separated from the body text. It is identical in all pages when you are writing in APA Style. If it appears at the bottom of the page, it is called the page footer, but that is not recommended in APA style.

The Page Number

As mentioned above, the APA style helps the writers to make their work appears orderly. The page number helps them achieve this so that the readers can know how much of the work they have read. In APA, the page number should be made using 12 pt Times New Roman Font. The page number should appear on the top right corner of all pages.

The Title of the Page

Other than the running head, you need to clearly indicate the title of your work so that the readers know what you are writing about. The running head should only contain a section of the title of the entire piece. Make sure that the title is placed in the middle of the APA cover page.

Name of the Author (Your Name)

In APA Cover page, you must indicate your name as the name of the author. That way, the readers will know right away whose work they are reading. Normally, include your official name so that when the work is published, your name goes as the author of the piece. The name of the author usually appears beneath the title of the work.

Institutional Affiliation

If you are a student working on a project or essay, then the institutional affiliation is the name of your college. If you are working for an agency, then you will indicate the name of the organization in this section. It is crucial that you use an authentic institution so that you are recognized as a member, and that you worked on the project following their instructions.

Beneath the Institutional Affiliation, your work should have a date. The time is vital because it helps the examiners to know when the work was done. If it is a book you are writing, your readers will see when you have completed the work.

Importance of APA Cover page in Academic Writing

In academic writing , the APA cover page is essential in helping examiners identify your work easily. Being that it contains your name and the details of the work, they will have an easy time telling it from other files that they might have.

Ireland

In a Nutshell

The APA style has many formats that can be used by learners and scholars to present their works. Therefore, before you get started, it is vital that to you do your homework well. Also, your institution will provide you with the latest APA cover page format that you need to use throughout your work.

A well-structured, meticulously carved out cover page is indispensable to the submission and the ultimate acceptance of every research paper . It gives a huge facelift to the detailed analysis, appraisal, or interpretation that the researcher conducted and now wishes to document through the research paper.

The cover page is the first impression of your research paper. A way to understand the significance of a cover letter for a research paper is going through this quote of an American film director, Miranda July, “People like to recall their first impressions, which is why those first descriptions are so important. After a while, you don’t look at people as attentively; you hold on to that first impression.” Hence, listing all pertinent information on the research paper’s all-important first and opening page is crucial.

The introduction to a research proposal is your first chance to impress your reader and should be perfect. Click here  to know more.

A well-written research paper cover page should be center-aligned, preferably in font Times New Roman, size 12, but it can be any font and size in line with the guidelines that the sponsoring institute or the guide may mandate. It should also be correctly capitalized, clear, intriguing, and brief.

FAQs ON RESEARCH PAPER COVER PAGE

What is a research cover page.

A cover page is the first page of a research paper that comprises information about the author and the content. It is concise and brief and is meant to give readers the first impression of your work, which in most cases has spanned years. Its goal is to provide a professional viewpoint to a report, academic dissertation, or thesis. It includes the author's name, the title of the essay, the name of the course with its code, the author’s affiliation, the due date of the paper or date of publication, and the guide’s/teacher's name.

What is the difference between a research paper's cover page and the title page?

A title page is a page that appears at the very beginning of your document and contains only the title, the author’s name, and the institution name. A cover page, on the other hand, is usually placed after the title page. It can concisely describe the project's true purpose and intended research. It lists the why and the how of the research in 2-3 sentences, not any more.

What should a research paper cover?

Introduction

References sections (Figures, tables, and appendix or appendices)

In each of these sections, there needs to be a definite flow and the same formatting to look uniform. The major section that the assessor or the reader looks at immediately is the cover page, and as this blog has explained, you need to get it ready-made from us to create a wonderful first-impression. Then, the discussion section and the results are two major sections where the meat of the research is to be found. After the cover page, a researcher has to be work hard to make these stand out and deliver to world-class standards.

How to Make a Cover Page for a Research Paper

Only some people pay the necessary attention to the correct design of the title page, which increases the probability of getting a bad grade. This material will teach you to create your cover page per the university’s rules and correctly write your research paper title .

Why is the title page required?

A cover page looks like the cover of a book. It contains all the essential information about you and your research, shows which university or course it was created for, etc. Simply put, the title is a squeeze of your most important information.

The scientific paper title page consists of the following:

  • Research topics;
  • The name of the student who wrote it;
  • Information about the university and faculty;
  • Information about the type of paper (research paper, essay, etc.);
  • Delivery date.

As a rule, before writing research, your teacher tells you the format they want to see on the title page. Pay attention to this preference and do the cover page according to the standards.

What elements does the research paper cover page consist of?

The content of the title page may vary slightly depending on the citation format of the entire study. In general, the common elements remain unchanged. It’s the following:

  • Title of the research;
  • Full name of the author or student who conducted this study;
  • Information about the university for which the study was prepared;
  • The name of the faculty where the student is studying;
  • The degree that is being acquired (Bachelor, Master);
  • Date of application;
  • A summary of the research.

Additionally, when it’s time to write a cover page for a research paper, it is essential to adhere to the design standards: indents, fonts, selections, etc.

How to make a cover page for a research paper with different types of citing?

Now, let’s look at different research page design types and their specific requirements.

The APA Citation Standards contain strict guidelines for a student’s research design. If your university uses this style and requires you to follow it, you should add a “running heading” to all research pages and number the pages.

The title page of the research should contain the author’s name and the university where he studies. If an organization wrote the research, then the organization’s full name. Next, there should be information about the faculty, course number, and the teacher’s name. Finally, if the research is not student but professional, there must be notes by the author.

The name of the study must be placed in the center of the page, in bold type. It should take a maximum of 2 lines and be concise. All other information is located below in the center.

If you have used the MLA citation style when writing, you will not need a title page in most cases. When using this design, all information is placed above the paper’s main text. You need to write information about yourself in the following order:

  • The name of the professor who is evaluating the study;
  • Faculty and course name;
  • Delivery date;
  • Paper title.

If you are writing a group study or your professor asks for a research paper title page, move all of the information above to a separate page and do not include it on the first page of your paper.

The design of the cover page for college paper in this style may vary, so check with your professor before creating it.

If no special instructions are given, place the name of the study in the center of the page, with your name immediately below it. The research paper title page should be in the first third of the second half of the page. Next, place the professor’s name, the course title, and the due date. You do not need to number and include the research paper front page in the overall numbering.

This design style contains more information about the research authors than the previous ones. Consequently, you need to indicate the study name in the page center. The author’s name, the university’s name, and the number of words in the research go right below.

The lower part contains the author’s name, email, thanks, and grant information.

According to the AMA standards, you must place crucial information about studying all the listed styles to write a title page. Thus, when designing the research paper title page, you need to indicate the paper title page at the top in the center. Then, immediately below it, place the author’s and university’s names. The author’s name, without academic degrees, should be indicated through the surname and initials.

Next, you need to place an annotation where to describe the purpose of the research, by what method it was carried out, and what main results were obtained. It is also worth writing a few main keywords used in the paper: from 3 to 10.

So, how to write a proper title page?

Before writing the cover page, stick to the following algorithm:

  • Ask your professor how to style and write the research paper title page.
  • Check out the requirements for this citation style.
  • Find some research paper title page examples.
  • Write a research paper title that captures the research essence but remains concise.
  • Provide all the necessary information about yourself, your professor, and your university.
  • If necessary, write an abstract detailing all the most important details of your research. Stay brief.
  • After creating the cover page, check the font, indents, and all the information you provided.

Bonus tips for making a great research paper title page

  • Don’t try to be creative. Use different fonts, underlines, and highlights. Adhere strictly to standards.
  • Stay concise. Keep the title short and specific, and keep all other information in the correct format.
  • Check the indentation and all citation standards after creating the research paper title page.

Posted By: admin 24/05/2019

A research report encompasses the outcomes of scientific research conducted by scientists, and engineers and conveys its results to the targeted audience. These researches can be surveys or any form of qualitative methods or they may focus on currency, geographic area, commodity, or an industry sector.

Generally, the research report covers a vast range of topics but mostly it concentrates on communicating particular information to the marketers for designing new strategies. Research reports hold special attention because they are reliable for providing all details about the research conducted and the procedures undertaken. 

A report has several components for a detailed explanation of its purpose but major components include,

  • Certificate/Statement
  • Table of Contents
  • Acknowledgment
  • List of Figures/Tables/Acronyms
  • Introduction
  • Materials & Methods

Among all these components, the cover page is of utmost significance due to its placement in the entire report. A good cover page signifies the worth of the document that follows and attracts viewers to give the document a full read. Different layouts of cover pages are presently based on the type of research conducted. But it usually includes the following information

  • Identification of Research Report  
  • Name of Company/Institute/Bank
  • Respective Logo
  • Title of the topic under Discussion
  • Name of Researchers
  • Researcher’s Designation 
  • Name of Department
  • The time duration of the Research

Research reports define the status and consequences of a completed project. Care needs to be taken while devising its cover page as its first impression needs to make a mark on its viewers and indulge themselves in the report.

These reports are viewed and critically analyzed by other researchers who want to collaborate and then decide if they want to proceed with the collaboration, therefore, cover pages are designed very cautiously, and following important rules are taken into consideration,

  • Do not use very bright colors. Choose colors that complement the title of the report
  • Keep the report formal and decent
  • Do not crowd the page with excessive information. Provide a breathing space. Overdone cover pages cast negative impressions on the viewers
  • Try to use graphics instead of text to explain the idea behind the report
  • Use images according to to report title
  • Date, Logo of Company, Title, Researcher’s name, and designation should be correct
  • Avoid spelling mistakes
  • Provide Company/Institute addresses and other contact details for communication purposes by other researchers
  • Choose readable font size and style

There are various templates provided by different websites for cover pages. These templates bypass the effort required to design them. Information of own research is entered into the template and it can be used immediately. Some of these templates are altered by researchers according to their own needs and thus can be personalized.

These templates can be available online for free or can be bought from its website. On the contrary, many researchers design their own cover page along with the report as they can mold it depending on the information they want to present.

Along with its appearance, information on it also requires special attention. A cover page should serve its purpose of being concise, informative, and complete.

Dead reckoning.

The cover shows a mass die-off of fish in Lake Corpus Christi, Texas. Such events are becoming more common, but the full effects of predator deaths on food webs has been unclear. In this week’s issue, Simon Tye and colleagues reveal that, somewhat counterintuitively, mass mortality of predators in a lake ecosystem can actually stabilize the food web, masking the effects of predator removal. The researchers created an artificial lake environment featuring phytoplankton, zooplankton (which fed on the phytoplankton) and fish (which fed on the zooplankton). When the fish died off, instead of the zooplankton proliferating wildly owing to reduced predation, decomposition of the deceased fish helped fertilize the phytoplankton, thereby boosting their numbers and helping to stabilize the food web.

  1. How to Make a Cover Page: APA and MLA Format

    A cover page, also called a title page, is the first page of a research paper or report. The cover page is dedicated exclusively to basic information, such as the title and authors. The actual content of the paper begins on the page after the cover page. When should a cover page be used?

    Your report cover page, also known as your title page, matters because it's the first thing people see. Your report cover page is a first impression. From it, people make snap judgments like: What is this about? Do I need to read this? Is this going to be worth my time? Several things subconsciously make up those judgments, including:
