Concept definitions

If there are complex professional terms, jargon or acronyms that require definitions, a separate list with definitions in alphabetical order is added. In the concept definitions line spacing 1.5 is used. Concept definitions are included after the abstract on a separate page.

Below you can find the settings for listing the concepts:

The heading in bold: CONCEPT DEFINITIONS
No logo in the header.
This list is used only if the thesis includes difficult concepts or abbreviations.
Line spacing 1.5.
Two empty lines beneath the heading.
Font size 12 pt.

When using the ready-made Word template all settings are correct. If you do not need a list of concept definitions, this page can be removed from the Word template.
