You may dedicate a page for this in the front matter.

5. Abstract
This refers to the brief summary of the thesis and
dissertation. It should contain the conclusion and
the findings and a short discussion of the statement of
the problem, method and design. An abstract is limited
to at least one page or 120 words. The presentation of
the abstract varies with institutional requirements.
This section presents two variations of model sample
culled out from the same study of Abogado-Monsalve
(2007). The first sample was patterned after
Dissertation International Abstract (DAI) format. The
second sample of abstract, illustrates a common abstract
format observed in most educational institutions.

6. Table of Contents
This lists all the contents of the front matter,
body, and back matter. The numbering of the chapters
and the wordings, capitalization of titles and heading
should be the same as those in the paper. In most
institutions, the lists of tables and figures are
included in this section. A sample format of Table of
Contents is shown in Attachment 6, taken from
Onsamang's (2014) dissertation. Other institutions may
vary in their presentation.

7. Clearance Forms
This seldom appears in most front matters. It
commonly appears in an experimental reports study. It
refers to the information as the ethical standards
for selecting participants, or use of animals in an
experiment. If information are short, the preliminaries
carry this element, otherwise this is placed in the
appendix (Matthews and Ross, 2010).
