MBCS Formatting Guidelines

The individual projects (i.e. Research Project 1, Research Project 2 and Literature Thesis) lead to written works of different kinds:

• A technical report for Research Project 1
• A journal article for Research Project 2
• A review paper for Literature Thesis

The exact formatting and citation style can follow that of a respectable journal within the field of enquiry of the student. It is at the discretion of the student a supervisor to decide which journal to use. Yet for all written works, there are a few constraints.

Cover page

For all projects, the written work must be submitted via the respective Datanose project page with a single cover page that includes:

• The title of the written work
• The name of the student submitting the work, including UvA student number
• A designation of the specific project type
• The name and affiliation of the programme (research master Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Amsterdam)
• The date of submission
• The names and affiliations of all other parties involved in the work, as well as their roles:
  • Supervisor
  • Assessor
  • Examiner

An example cover page has been posted to the programme Canvas page.

Affiliation

Please use the following affiliation when submitting work (possibly in conjunction with that of your hosting lab):

Research Master's Programme Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Amsterdam.
