Tips and tools for writing your LaTeX thesis or dissertation in  Overleaf, including templates, managing references , and getting started guides.

Managing References

BibTeX  is a file format used for lists of references for  LaTeX  documents. Many citation management tools support the ability to export and import lists of references in .bib format. Some reference management tools can generate  BibTeX  files of your library or folders for use in your  LaTeX  documents.

LaTeX on Wikibooks   has a  Bibliography Management  page.

Find list of BibTeX styles available on Overleaf   here

Collaborate with Overleaf

Collaboration tools

Every project you create has a secret link. Just send it to your co-authors, and they can review, comment and edit. Overleaf synchronizes changes from all authors, so everyone always has the latest version. More advanced tools include protected projects and integration with Git.

Getting Started with Your Thesis or Dissertation

How to get started writing your thesis in LaTeX

Writing a thesis or dissertation in LaTeX can be challenging, but the end result is well worth it - nothing looks as good as a LaTeX-produced pdf, and for large documents it's a lot easier than fighting with formatting and cross-referencing in MS Word. Review this video from Overleaf to help you get started writing your thesis in LaTeX, using a standard thesis template from the  Overleaf Gallery .

You can  upload your own thesis template to the Overleaf Gallery   if your university provides a set of LaTeX template files or you may find your university's thesis template already in the Overleaf Gallery.

This video assumes you've used LaTeX before and are familiar with the standard commands (see our other  tutorial videos   if not), and focuses on how to work with a large project split over multiple files.

LaTeX template to outline and draft academic papers (or theses) in Computer Science (in English and German language)

stefantruehl/research-proposal-template

Folders and files, repository files navigation, latex template for research proposals.

This LaTeX template can be used to draft and outline the topic for a academic paper or thesis in Computer Science (in English and German language). I have found it particular helpful for topics that are more on the engineering side of CS.

Table of Contents

Core ideas and concept, how to fill in the template, pdf generation tool chain, setup latex environment from scratch.

Students at the Computer Science department of University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt frequently have to write seminar papers. In addition, they have craft a comprehensive thesis (Bachelor's Thesis or Master's Thesis, depending on the degree they aim for) at the end of their studies. During the creation of these papers (or theses), one of the major challenges for many students is to find the topic they are going to write about and shape it the way that it is interesting and of relevance.

The purpose of this template is to support students in developing and defining the essence of what they want to write their academic papers about.

As a supervisor I ask my students to fill it the template already at the start of their research projects. It forces them to write down, rethink, and reshape their research ideas. Based on this document I will discuss their ideas with them, helping them to shape a good storyline and strategy for their work.

Usually my students create multiple iterations of this documents as they dive deeper and deeper into their area of research and gain deeper understanding of what they want to accomplish.

The most important part for the students, is to have them answer the following four questions (within in the template they are described in much further detail as LaTeX comments):

• The objective here is to have students give a very brief and to the point description (1 sentence) of the problem they want to address within their paper.
• Why is the problem at all relevant? Why should we spend effort into investigating/solving it?
• What results have been (or will be) produced? How do these results address the proposed problem?
• What is the quality of the results? What shortcomings are there? How did the student ensure that the results are genuine?

Furthermore, I ask them to provide:

• A abstract of their proposed work
• A proposal for a table of contents
• relevant/significant pieces of related work they have already found

The intention of this template was to be as easily usable as possible. Nevertheless, there are a few things to keep in mind while using it. The following guide is supposed to assist you in using it as smooth as possible.

Step 0: Clone, Open, and Generate a PDF

Start by cloning or downloading this repository and opening the researchproposal.tex file in your favorite LaTeX environment. The template is set up the way that, at this point, you should be able to generate a PDF without any errors or warnings. This will allow you to double check that your environment is set up the way that you can generate a PDF document from the template.

In case you have trouble generating the PDF, please take a look to the PDF generation tool chain section. This may help you getting the PDF generated.

Step 1: Choose Language

Please acknowledge that the template is bilingual. It can be used to create a research proposal in English or in German language. Thus, the first thing you have to do is choosing the language that you want to use. This is done by opening researchproposal.tex and stating the language in the following comment block.

Step 2: Create your Proposal - Fill in your ideas!

Obviously, filling in your content is the most important step. In order to do that, you will find a lot of comment blocks in the document that assist you. These blocks will also give you further explanations about what you need to consider and keep in mind. This is where you need to fill in your content.

Important: Read and follow the explanations for each comment block!

The following is an example for these blocks:

There is nothing special about the tool chain used to generate the pdf. It uses:

• pdflatex - to generate a pdf document
• biber - to process the bibliography

Assuming you are familiar with LaTeX it should easily be set up.

Please understand, if you have a running environment that makes sense to you - stick with it! It is by no means necessary to use the one poposed here, if you should be in one of my classes. Further, there are probably better environments out there.

If you should not have a working environment, a possible environment setup for LaTeX editing is described here .

The essence and wisdom of the core of this research proposal is NOT my own.

It is more the collected wisdom from many people that I have met and talked to. Further, I have encountered this style of presenting academic engineering work as a best practice at many well established conferences.

To the best of my knowledge I am just the only one to make it available like that.
