This skeleton demonstrates how to use the \texttt{infthesis} style for
|
|
undergraduate dissertations in the School of Informatics. It also emphasises the
|
|
page limit, and that you must not deviate from the required style.
|
|
The file \texttt{skeleton.tex} generates this document and should be used as a
|
|
starting point for your thesis. Replace this abstract text with a concise
|
|
summary of your report.

\chapter{Introduction}
|
|
|
|
The preliminary material of your report should contain:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item
|
|
The title page.
|
|
\item
|
|
An abstract page.
|
|
\item
|
|
Declaration of ethics and own work.
|
|
\item
|
|
Optionally an acknowledgements page.
|
|
\item
|
|
The table of contents.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
As in this example \texttt{skeleton.tex}, the above material should be
|
|
included between:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\begin{preliminary}
|
|
...
|
|
\end{preliminary}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
This style file uses roman numeral page numbers for the preliminary material.
|
|
|
|
The main content of the dissertation, starting with the first chapter,
|
|
starts with page~1. \emph{\textbf{The main content must not go beyond page~40.}}
|
|
|
|
The report then contains a bibliography and any appendices, which may go beyond
|
|
page~40. The appendices are only for any supporting material that's important to
|
|
go on record. However, you cannot assume markers of dissertations will read them.
|
|
|
|
You may not change the dissertation format (e.g., reduce the font size, change
|
|
the margins, or reduce the line spacing from the default single spacing). Be
|
|
careful if you copy-paste packages into your document preamble from elsewhere.
|
|
Some \LaTeX{} packages, such as \texttt{fullpage} or \texttt{savetrees}, change
|
|
the margins of your document. Do not include them!
|
|
|
|
Over-length or incorrectly-formatted dissertations will not be accepted and you
|
|
would have to modify your dissertation and resubmit. You cannot assume we will
|
|
check your submission before the final deadline and if it requires resubmission
|
|
after the deadline to conform to the page and style requirements you will be
|
|
subject to the usual late penalties based on your final submission time.
|
|
|
|
\section{Using Sections}
|
|
|
|
Divide your chapters into sub-parts as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
\section{Citations}
|
|
|
|
Citations (such as \cite{P1} or \cite{P2}) can be generated using
|
|
\texttt{BibTeX}. For more advanced usage, we recommend using the \texttt{natbib}
|
|
package or the newer \texttt{biblatex} system.
|
|
|
|
These examples use a numerical citation style. You may use any consistent
|
|
reference style that you prefer, including ``(Author, Year)'' citations.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{Backgrounds}
|
|
|
|
This section provides a overview into
|
|
|
|
|
|
\chapter{Your next chapter}
|
|
|
|
A dissertation usually contains several chapters.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{Conclusions}
|
|
|
|
\section{Final Reminder}
|
|
|
|
The body of your dissertation, before the references and any appendices,
|
|
\emph{must} finish by page~40. The introduction, after preliminary material,
|
|
should have started on page~1.
|
|
|
|
You may not change the dissertation format (e.g., reduce the font size, change
|
|
the margins, or reduce the line spacing from the default single spacing). Be
|
|
careful if you copy-paste packages into your document preamble from elsewhere.
|
|
Some \LaTeX{} packages, such as \texttt{fullpage} or \texttt{savetrees}, change
|
|
the margins of your document. Do not include them!
|
|
|
|
Over-length or incorrectly-formatted dissertations will not be accepted and you
|
|
would have to modify your dissertation and resubmit. You cannot assume we will
|
|
check your submission before the final deadline and if it requires resubmission
|
|
after the deadline to conform to the page and style requirements you will be
|
|

\chapter{First appendix}
|
|
|
|
\section{First section}
|
|
|
|
Any appendices, including any required ethics information, should be included
|
|
after the references.
|
|
|
|
Markers do not have to consider appendices. Make sure that your contributions
|
|
are made clear in the main body of the dissertation (within the page limit).
|
|
|
|
\chapter{Participants' information sheet}
|
|
|
|
If you had human participants, include key information that they were given in
|
|
an appendix, and point to it from the ethics declaration.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{Participants' consent form}
|
|
|
|
If you had human participants, include information about how consent was
|
|
gathered in an appendix, and point to it from the ethics declaration.
|
|
This information is often a copy of a consent form.
