Report structure
TPU and TUSUR materials converge on a stable core: title page, task or purpose, main body, conclusion, and references. The uploaded TPU template additionally shows abstract, definitions, abbreviations, introduction, and appendices.
Laboratory report
A compact lab report usually includes the title page, purpose or task, theoretical basis, execution steps, results, conclusion, and references.
- Title page using the university form.
- Purpose and tasks.
- Theory, baseline data, or object description.
- Execution, calculations, tables, and figures.
- Conclusion tied to the purpose and results.
- References in one bibliographic style.
OS TUSUR 01/02-2021 makes the introduction, main text and conclusion mandatory. Assignment, abstract, contents and terminology depend on the type of work and the assignment; the 2011 guide is supplementary.
Coursework or qualification-style paper
For larger works, the uploaded TPU template and TPU qualification-work materials show a broader structure with abstract, definitions, introduction, main body, conclusion, references, and appendices.
- Title page and assignment sheet.
- Abstract.
- Definitions and abbreviations.
- Introduction with purpose and tasks.
- Main body with numbered sections.
- Conclusion, references, appendices.
Formatting rules
A4, font, spacing, and paragraph settings
TPU STO 2.5.01-2011 recommends Times New Roman 14 pt (Arial 12 pt is also allowed), A4, line spacing 1.5, justified text, and a first-line indent of 1.5–1.7 cm. The generator uses Times New Roman 14 pt and 1.5 cm. TUSUR uses Times New Roman 14 pt, spacing 1.5 and a 1.25 cm indent; margins are 30/15/20/20 mm (left/right/top/bottom).
Margins
The same TPU PDF sets minimum margins of 30 mm on the left, 10 mm on the right, and 20 mm on the top and bottom. The uploaded DOCX template uses approximately 30 / 15 / 20 / 20 mm.
Section numbering and hierarchy
The uploaded template uses 1 / 1.1 / 1.1.1 numbering. Its starred heading styles carry Word outline levels 0–2, which is why those headings appear in navigation and in the contents.
References-list standards
For the references list itself, GOST R 7.0.100-2018 is a safer anchor. GOST R 7.0.5-2008 governs bibliographic references and citations in the text or notes.
Examples from the uploaded TPU template
Task
The uploaded template treats the task section as a near-verbatim restatement of what the teacher assigned: the overall goal, major steps, and constraints.
Overall goal; key stages; important constraints and report requirements.
Abstract
The template describes the abstract as a compact summary of the document volume, purpose, methods, results, significance, and keywords.
The abstract usually fits within one page and ends with 5–15 keywords.
Definitions and abbreviations
Definitions and abbreviations are separated. Abbreviations are written one per line in the “term — full name” pattern.
API — application programming interface DBMS — database management system
Main body and references
The template demonstrates a nested heading structure and already contains sample lines for the references list.
1 Scope and boundaries 1.1 Section purpose 1.1.1 Relation to the task
Generator
Choose the university first
Available work types depend on the selected university and on the current API catalog. The project UI and metadata explicitly mention TPU and TUSUR.
Check auto-filled supervisor data
The current auto-import logic is tied to public TPU portal pages (`portal.tpu.ru`). Positions and degrees should always be checked manually.
Review the DOCX in Word
Before submission, verify the title page, numbering, table and figure captions, and the final references list.
Table of contents is not generated automatically
After the template is generated, the table of contents placeholders remain unbuilt. Open the DOCX in Word, click inside the contents block, and update the table so Word recalculates headings and page numbers.
Word style gallery
How to use the style gallery
- Use starred styles for headings that should appear in the contents and in the Word navigation pane.
- Use non-starred styles for body text, captions, lists, and code blocks.
- After editing the structure in Word, update the automatic table of contents.

FAQ
Can I submit the generated DOCX without manual review?
No. The generator creates only a document template: section structure, title page, and Word styles. It does not know the actual content of your specific laboratory work, calculations, results, conclusions, or source list, so those parts must be filled in and checked manually.
Why do some Word styles start with an asterisk?
In the uploaded TPU template, starred styles have Word outline levels. That is why they appear in navigation and in the automatic table of contents.
Which standard should I use for the references list?
For the references list itself, GOST R 7.0.100-2018 is the safer baseline. GOST R 7.0.5-2008 is for references and citations inside the text.
What if the supervisor data was imported incorrectly?
Correct it manually. The current auto-import relies on public TPU portal pages, and those pages can change over time.
