# Thesis template

Thesis template(s) for Chalmers E2 PhD students

Contact: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

## Disclaimer

The intention of the template is to provide an open-source basis for Chalmers PhD students to collaborate on the mundande task of structuring a thesis.

We strive for compliance with Chalmers official guide lines, but this is not an official Chalmers document and we give no guarantees of compliance.

The guidelines are available here:

- [Licentiate guidelines](https://intranet.chalmers.se/en/tools-support/doctoral-studies-support/licentiate/layout-and-printing-of-licentiate-thesis/)

- [PhD thesis guidelines](https://intranet.chalmers.se/en/tools-support/doctoral-studies-support/doctoral-thesis-defence/thesis-layout/)

They are currently under revision but will be posted in full here.

Our ambition is to stay up to speed with them but if you see any discrepancies please let us know, see [below](#Contribute).

## Current status

The template has been released to the public but it is in a beta-phase and needs to be tested thoroughly.

Found a problem or bug? See [below](#Contribute)

## Usage

### Get the template

1. Using git

You can either _fork_ this repository to your own github account, see [this guide](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo),

or you can _clone_ it to a local computer. The command

```bash

git clone [email protected]:E2-PhD-Council/ThesisTemplate.git ThesisTemplate

```

will create a local copy of the template repository in `/ThesisTemplate`.

2. Just getting the files

In the [releases](https://github.com/E2-PhD-Council/ThesisTemplate/releases) tab, you can access all released versions of the template.

3. Overleaf template

The template is available with the name "Chalmers University of Technology E2 Thesis Template".

Whenever there is a release in the github repo, we will update the overleaf template.

### Template structure

The only files that should be changed are contained within the folder `YourThesis`.

When creating a new thesis, start with `YourThesis/Config.tex` to set up all the general information.

The main file of the thesis is `Thesis.tex`, which initiates the template files.

No changes should be made to this file, it is just for easy access.

### Mock-up cover

The print service will scrape info like name, title et c. and produce a new cover.

The template will still generate a mock-up of the cover for you to get a notion of the layout,

but note that this is will not be used in the print.

### Title page

This actual page will be used by the print service. We are trying to have them generate this title page as well

but until then you need to make sure to replace the watermarked logo yourself.

Logotypes are found [here](https://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/profile-and-identity/Pages/logotype.aspx)

## Versioning

We will strive to follow a [semver](https://semver.org/)

policy by changing major versions whenever breaking changes occur.

However, as long as we are in a 0.x.y version this is not guaranteed.
