Thesis template(s) for Chalmers E2 PhD students
Contact: phd-council.e2@chalmers.se
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:
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.
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
- Using git
You can either fork this repository to your own github account, see this guide, or you can clone it to a local computer. The command
git clone git@github.com:E2-PhD-Council/ThesisTemplate.git ThesisTemplatewill create a local copy of the template repository in <current-directory>/ThesisTemplate.
- Just getting the files
In the releases tab, you can access all released versions of the template.
- 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.
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.
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.
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
We will strive to follow a semver 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.
If you find any bugs or inconsistencies, please open an issue here. That way we can continue to improve the template and help future colleagues.
If you also have a solution, please open a pull request and we'll review it as soon as possible.
