Using LaTeX for Your Graduate Thesis

LaTeX is a powerful typesetting language and is a great way to prepare your graduate thesis and other high quality scientific documents. There is a steep learning curve but once you master LaTeX you will probably never go back to word processing.

University of leeds, condensed matter physics group thesis latex template.

This repository contains LaTeX templates for creating MPhys Reports. Transfer Reports and PhD theses at the University of leeds. It is maintained by members of the Condensed Matter Physics Group.

Instructions

Select the branch that most closely matches your degree/report

Download the .zip archive, clone or fork this repository. If you fork the repository then you could use github to keep a copy of your thesis with backups and full revision control - albeit at the expense of being a little bit public in your writing!

If you use Overleaf then you can use New Project->Upload Project and upload the zip file. The paid for version of Overleaf also offers github integration.

Fill in the .tex files in the various sub-directories with your content. You may need to uncomment the \include lines in the main template TeX file for your additional chapters.

Add figure files for your thesis to the Capter_#_Fig folders. We recommend that you use pdflatex to compile the thesis and use eps2pdf to convert your figures to pdf on the fly.

Bucknell Thesis LaTeX Template

Physics & Astronomy

Astronomy program, faculty and staff, major and minor requirements, course offerings, what's happening, seminar schedule, student resources, research opportunities, introduction.

The files below include a set of LaTeX class files for Bucknell University theses, and examples of how to use them. Theses classes are based on simple modifications to the standard LaTeX book class. (The class for undergraduate honors proposals is based on the standard article class.) The goal is a single class that will automatically generate the title page, text formatting, pagination, etc., called for by the Bucknell Honors Program. (For proposals, see, Proposal Preparation Guidelines , for undergraduate honors theses see, Thesis Preparation Instructions (I know this link is broken, but I can't find a replacement, ML, 8/30/2016), and for Masters Theses, see Thesis Formatting Instructions . or for Masters Degrees. As of May 2017 there are separate class files for the Honors Program and Engineering Masters Theses. The longer term goal is to produce a single class file with options, and load it in the standard TeX path on the Bucknell Linux network.

This LaTeX class was used for the first time by students in April 2005, and most recently in Spring 2017. The examples below are written assuming that graphics files are in the PDF format, and that the document will be compiled with pdflatex . This is not essential. The same class file can be used with latex and EPS files. I expect to modify the class file based on the experience of users. Please send questions, comments, and suggestions for improvement to Marty Ligare ( [email protected] ).

Dear soon-to-to-be Physics PhD,

If you reading this file, you are getting ready to graduate and move on to the next stage of your life.

This folder contains LaTex thesis templates modified to fullfil the GT thesis format. The intended users are those who are already somewhat familiar with LaTex. We hope you will find this template useful.

If you are an MS Windows user, a free compiler "MikTex" is available on  http://www.miktex.org .

A useful Windows text editor "WinEdt" (shareware, not freeware) is available on  http://www.winedt.com .

The text file "GT graduation FAQ.txt," contains the answers to frequency asked questions. Please take a look at this first.

The pdf document, "lshort.pdf," is the "Not So Short Introduction to LaTex 2e."

The text file "GT Thesis Template FAQ.txt" contains a list of LaTex tricks and modifications for "gatech-thesis.cls" in order to fullfil the GT thesis format requirements. We have implemented these modifications for you and the modified .cls file is saved as "gatech-thesis-physics.cls".

The file "msc_sty.bst" is the bibliography style file, which is modified to conform with the citation format of Physical Review Letters.

The folder "gatech-thesis-physics" contains a "toy'' PhD thesis as an example. Inside this folder, the main control tex file is "thesis.tex". As practice, just compile this file again. If the compilation is successful, you are qualified to use this template and you may start to fill-in your thesis in this format.

Enjoy your thesis writing, and good luck!

Thesis Templates

We have had many requests for thesis formats already set up in TeX. None of the files are guaranteed, but they have worked successfully for previous graduates. The Graduate College changes thesis formatting requirements from time to time ; as far as we know, these files conform to Fall 2009 requirements. However, be sure to consult the current version of the Graduate College Handbook .

The 2009 version of the template was prepared by a student who is himself in the process of writing his phd thesis and graduating. This template has thus not been validated in any way by the graduate college. There is still no indication that a thesis prepared with this template has been received and accepted by the graduate college. The student who wrote this package can make no guarantee that this template will comply to the current rules of the graduate college. This student is also busy, so support may be hit or miss until he graduates.

The 2007 version of the template was prepared by Tim Head, based on prior templates by Peter Czoschke and David Hull.

uiucthesis is a LaTeX package for formatting theses in the format required by the University of Illinois, effective Fall 2007.

A class file and a style file are provided. Both provide identical functionality, except that the class file loads the "book" class with the [oneside] option.

While we are happy to answer questions about this (or any Physics) page and to assist our visitors, we cannot provide any kind of meaningful help with specific TeX questions. An excellent resource for LaTeX users may be found at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX .

Installation

latex uiucthesis.ins <== Produces uiucthesis.cls, uiucthesis.sty and thesis-ex.tex latex uiucthesis.dtx <== Produces uiucthesis.dvi (documentation) latex uiucthesis.dtx <== One more time, to fix cross-references

You can do the last two steps on thesis-ex.tex as well to generate the example file (DVI).

Dependencies

This package requires the setspace package.

Templates for dissertations

LaTeX Template

Latex "how to" documents.

The original LaTeX thesis template files were developed by Dorothea F. Brosius in 2004 as a result of several requests from graduate students in the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics writing their dissertations.   The template currently in use was updated by D. Brosius on May 12, 2022. The software used for Windows-based PC's is Miktex with WinEdt; Apple users can use Texshop.  Although the sample documents were based on parts of the thesis of Bhaskar Khubchandani, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, College Park in the Spring of 2004, the template has been updated and follows " The University of Maryland Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) Style Guide, 2021 Edition " (pdf).   In addition, the Table of Contents, the List of Figures, the List of Tables, and the Bibliography are now single-spaced; the main text is double-spaced.

The current mainthesis.tex uses the hyperref package which links items in your Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables to corresponding sections in your thesis.   The links will show in blue when you save your thesis as a pdf file.   The Table of Contents has been updated at the request of the Graduate School to show Chapter 1: Name of Chapter.   I use Miktex and typeset my document using pdflatex, bib, pdflatex, pdflatex.   My figures are usually pdf files; if you use eps files, add \usepackage{epstopdf} to your preamble.

Please email [email protected] if you are using the LaTeX template (for my records) and also if you have any problems when submitting your thesis to the Graduate School (margins, indentations, etc.) so adjustments can be made to the template.

All of the files needed for your dissertation can be found in LatexThesisFiles_2022.7z or LatexThesisFiles_2022.zip , both were revised to adhere to the ETD Style Guide, 2021 Edition.    All of the files should be placed in the folder with your thesis files. Thesis.cls should not be changed. Mainthesis.tex should not be changed unless you include tables in your thesis, in which case you should delete the % sign on the listoftables line and the newpage line.  Chapter 1 has several tips for inserting tables, longtables, figures, theorems, landscape material, and adding your bibliography (using bibtex and natbib); open Chapter1.tex to see the Latex coding for inserting figures, tables, etc.. 

Insert your own text and figures in the following files: abstract.tex, titlepage.tex, copyright.tex, acknowledgements.tex, dedication.tex, foreword.tex, chapter1.tex, chapter2.tex, etc., appendix.tex, and bibliography.tex. I have included Bhaskar's .eps files from Chapter 2. If you pdf the files as they are, you can see exactly how a thesis using this template will look. The information in Chapter 2 and the Appendix is identical; I simply copied the text to show the difference between the numbering in a chapter and an appendix.

These files contain examples of several types of displayed equations (including arrays), as well as enumerated lists, theorems, axioms, references, tables, longtables, and displayed figures.

Please note that you must Latex "mainthesis.tex" twice to ensure the references will be properly shown in the dvi file. The dvi file must be changed to a pdf file before it can be submitted to the Graduate School.

I hope these files will be useful to you and save you valuable time. If you need additional assistance or if this information is unclear, please contact Dottie Brosius at dbrosius at umd.edu or 301-405-4955.

A Latex resource, recommended by Dr. Nicholas Mecholsky, Ph.D., 2010, is " The Not So Short Introduction to LaTex 2ε " (pdf), by Tobias Oetiker, et al.

Using Bibtex

Using Bibtex with LaTeX documents is not difficult. The bulk of the work is organizing your Bibtex file, which is a data base compiled by you of the articles, books, etc. which you use in the bibliographies or reference sections of your publications. The file BibtexSamples.tex contains examples of information needed for the different types of references you may wish to use (e.g., articles in refereed journals, books, unpublished articles, conference proceedings).

Please read the file " Bibtex Instructions ". The first two pages explain how to set up and run Bibtex; the remaining pages were taken from a published article and show how the references were cited in the .tex file. 

Using NatBib

Another option of citing references in the bibliography is using Natbib instead of Bibtex. You must still create a bibtex file, as noted above. The command "\cite" cannot be used with natbib; instead "\citet" and "\citep" must be used. "\citet" is used to show references in the text (e.g., Eq.\ 8 in Reiser,1996 shows ...); "\citep" is used in the parenthetical (e.g., Eq.\ 8 (Reiser, 1996) shows ...).

Add the following to the preamble of your mainthesis.tex file -- \usepackage[option]{natbib}.    I used "\usepackage[sort,square,numbers]{natbib}" in the template.  A list of options to be used with Natbib can be found at http://merkel.zoneo.net/Latex/natbib.php .

At the bottom of the mainthesis.tex file add: \bibliography{name of your bibtex file} \bibliographystyle{plainnat, abbrnat, or unsrtnat} (I use unsrtnat)

I use Miktex and typeset my document using pdflatex, bib, pdflatex, pdflatex.

APS Physical Review Style and Notation Guide

The following style guide may be downloaded from The American Physical Society: Physical Review Style and Notation Guide (pdf), published by The American Physical Society, compiled and edited by Anne Waldron, Peggy Judd, and Valerie Miller, February 1993. It may be old, but it is very useful.

Many students choose to write their senior thesis, captsone report, masters thesis, or PhD dissertation in LaTeX. To facilitate this we have created a document class (BYUPhys.cls) that encapsulates the basic format of a thesis and a template document that demonstrates how to use this class. The class has options for producing a senior, honors, or masters thesis as well as a PhD dissertation. To test it out, create a new folder and unzip the following files into the folder

The file 'template.tex' has quite a few comments to help you understand how it works. If you compile 'template.tex' using pdflatex, you should get the following output:

For longer documents, it is often nice to split the document into several files using the \include command. The following example shows you how to do this, and also illustrates the use of a bibliography management tool called BibTex.

Learning LaTeX

There are some excellent tutorials available for learning LaTeX, so we won't try to recreate one here. You might start with one of the documents listed at  //www.latex-project.org/guides/ , or you can do a web search for "latex tutorial" and you will find many excellent introductory documents. Take the time to read an online tutorial about LaTeX. If you get stuck, ask around for help. There are a number of students and professors that are familiar with LaTeX and can help you with the basics.

If you have questions about getting the template to run correctly or think you have found a bug, you can email Michael Ware about the problem.

Masters/Doctoral Thesis

This template provides a full framework for writing a graduate level thesis. It is carefully structured and separated into multiple parts for easy editing. Included are the following pages/sections: a cover page, declaration of authorship, quotation, abstract, acknowledgements, contents page(s), list of figures, list of tables, abbreviations, physical constants, symbols, dedication, example chapter, example appendix and bibliography.
