Introduction
The dissertation is the academic document that certifies the completion of master's university studies. Unlike the bachelor's thesis, the dissertation is not limited to demonstrating mastery of basic knowledge—it requires an original, identifiable, and well-argued contribution to the knowledge of the studied field. This fundamental difference structures all the requirements of this guide. It was developed by the Redactum editorial staff based on Romanian academic conventions, the official guides of several Romanian universities, and international standards for academic writing.
The guide covers all aspects of writing a dissertation: from document structure and formatting requirements to citation rules, writing each chapter, ethical use of sources, and the submission procedure. It is addressed to master's students in all master's fields—from social sciences and humanities to medicine, engineering, law, economics, and psychology—and can be used as a reference throughout the writing process.
