The Australian (previously AGPS) Style is an excellent style with broad appeal, especially to Australians, because it has been developed over many years in the local environment. It may have less appeal internationally. It is applicable to a wide variety of disciplines. The Australian style uses in-text citation and footnotes (sparingly).
This template shows the key concepts used in the generation of a statement of theoretical intention, designed for the formal explication of the methodology to be used in a planned doctoral thesis.

This template shows the key concepts used in the generation of a doctoral thesis of 80,000 words or more. This example uses the AGPS style and therefore has headings, a table of contents, but (usually) no footnotes. The chapter headings contain a title and 9 chapters are offered on the basis that this is the minimum number of chapters necessary if dictated by the title of the chapter based on the formal model type hypothesis/exploration/critical review.
