One version uses a sans serif font, while another uses Times New Roman. Not all style parameters are well-defined, but some seem to be adapted from the APA 6 style. 52 | 53 | ## FAQ 54 | ### How is the manuscript type (thesis, dissertation) determined? 55 | It is inferred from the `\Degree`. Note that the string comparison is currently case-sensitive. Make sure to input "Master..." or "Doctor..." 56 | 57 | ### Can I use a bib style other than APA or IEEE? 58 | Yes. In `main.tex`, remove the `apa` or `ieee` option from the `manuscript` document class, then configure `biblatex` as desired. 59 | 60 | ### Why are links in the document enclosed in boxes? 61 | This is the default behavior of `hyperref`. The boxes are visible only on-screen; they do not appear in print. You may specify `colorlinks` to color the link text instead of showing boxes, or `hidelinks` to fully disable any visual link styling. 62 | 63 | ### Why does the line spacing vary? 64 | Double- or 1.5-spacing applies only to the text body. The following are always typeset in single space: 65 | * Preliminary pages (excluding _Abstract_ and _Acknowledgments_) 66 | * Footnotes and floats (tables and figures) 67 | * Bibliography 68 | * Chapter headings (for consistent top margins across all pages) 69 | 70 | ### Can I use package *X* instead of `biblatex`, `cleveref`, etc.? 71 | The packages *required* in the `manuscript` class are required. These are generally the *go-to* packages used by most documents. The packages in `main.tex` are recommended but not required and can be replaced. However, some of these packages are preconfigured by the `manuscript` class for your convenience. 72 | 73 | ### What should I do if I have a specific formatting requirement not covered by the template (e.g. multiple advisers)? 74 | You can edit all content, including the preliminary pages (found under the `prelim_pages` directory), according to your needs. The `manuscript` class should handle most cases well. If you find yourself directly editing `manuscript.cls`, feel free to ask a question, or create a new issue and/or pull request. 75 | 76 | ## License 77 | This project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Here is an example: 69 | \begin{quotation} 70 | \cref{fig:onecol} is also quite important. 71 | \end{quotation} 72 | 73 | %------------------------------------------------------------------------- 74 | \subsection{References} 75 | 76 | List and number all bibliographical references in 12-point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your manuscript. 77 | To make a reference in the text, use the 78 | {\small\begin{verbatim} 79 | \autocite{...} 80 | \end{verbatim}} command instead of plain \verb`\cite{}`, for example~\autocite{Authors14}. 81 | Where appropriate, include page numbers and the name(s) of editors of referenced books. 82 | When you cite multiple papers at once, please make sure that you cite them in numerical order like this \autocite{Alpher02,Alpher03,Alpher05,Authors14b,Authors14}. 83 | If you use the template as advised, this will be taken care of automatically. 84 | 85 | \begin{table} 86 | \centering 87 | \caption[Results]{Results. Ours is better. Note that table captions should be placed above, in contrast to figure captions which are positioned below.} 88 | \begin{tabular}{@{}lc@{}} 89 | \toprule 90 | Method & Frobnability \\ 91 | \midrule 92 | Theirs & Frumpy \\ 93 | Yours & Frobbly \\ 94 | Ours & Makes one's heart Frob\\ 95 | \bottomrule 96 | \end{tabular} 97 | \label{tab:example} 98 | \end{table} 99 | 100 | %------------------------------------------------------------------------- 101 | \subsection{Illustrations, graphs, and photographs} 102 | 103 | All graphics should be centered. 104 | In \LaTeX, avoid using the \texttt{center} environment for this purpose, as this adds potentially unwanted whitespace. 105 | Instead use 106 | {\small\begin{verbatim} 107 | \centering 108 | \end{verbatim}} 109 | at the beginning of your figure. 110 | Please ensure that any point you wish to make is resolvable in a printed copy of the paper. 111 | Resize fonts in figures to match the font in the body text, and choose line widths that render effectively in print. 112 | Readers (and reviewers), even of an electronic copy, may choose to print your paper in order to read it. 113 | You cannot insist that they do otherwise, and therefore must not assume that they can zoom in to see tiny details on a graphic. 114 | 115 | When placing figures in \LaTeX, it's almost always best to use \verb+\includegraphics+, and to specify the figure width as a multiple of the line width as in the example below 116 | {\small\begin{verbatim} 117 | \usepackage{graphicx} ... 118 | \includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth] 119 | {myfile.pdf} 120 | \end{verbatim} 121 | } 122 | 123 | %------------------------------------------------------------------------- 124 | \subsection{Color} 125 | 126 | If you use color in your plots, please keep in mind that a significant subset of reviewers and readers may have a color vision deficiency; red-green blindness is the most frequent kind. 127 | Hence avoid relying only on color as the discriminative feature in plots (such as red \vs green lines), but add a second discriminative feature to ease disambiguation. 128 | 129 | \subsection{Miscellaneous} 130 | 131 | \noindent 132 | Compare the following:\\ 133 | \begin{tabular}{ll} 134 | \verb'$conf_a$' & $conf_a$ \\ 135 | \verb'$\mathit{conf}_a$' & $\mathit{conf}_a$ 136 | \end{tabular}\\ 137 | See The \TeX book, p165. 138 | 139 | The space after \eg, meaning ``for example'', should not be a sentence-ending space. 140 | So \eg is correct, {\em e.g.} is not. 141 | The provided \verb'\eg' macro takes care of this. 142 | 143 | When citing a multi-author paper, you may save space by using ``et alia'', shortened to ``\etal'' (not ``{\em et.\ al.}'' as ``{\em et}'' is a complete word). 144 | If you use the \verb'\etal' macro provided, then you need not worry about double periods when used at the end of a sentence as in Alpher \etal. 145 | However, use it only when there are three or more authors. 146 | Thus, the following is correct: 147 | ``Frobnication has been trendy lately. 148 | It was introduced by Alpher~\autocite{Alpher02}, and subsequently developed by 149 | Alpher and Fotheringham-Smythe~\autocite{Alpher03}, and Alpher \etal~\autocite{Alpher04}.'' 150 | 151 | This is incorrect: ``... subsequently developed by Alpher \etal~\autocite{Alpher03} ...'' because reference~\autocite{Alpher03} has just two authors. 152 | 153 | \begin{figure*} 154 | \centering 155 | \begin{subfigure}{0.68\linewidth} 156 | \fbox{\rule{0pt}{2in} \rule{.9\linewidth}{0pt}} 157 | \caption{An example of a subfigure.} 158 | \label{fig:short-a} 159 | \end{subfigure} 160 | \hfill 161 | \begin{subfigure}{0.28\linewidth} 162 | \fbox{\rule{0pt}{2in} \rule{.9\linewidth}{0pt}} 163 | \caption{Another subfigure.} 164 | \label{fig:short-b} 165 | \end{subfigure} 166 | \caption{Example of a short caption title.

If a certain topic is a bit specialized or hard to remember, make a concise introduction. Point the reader to a reference for further understanding. Each chapter should be complete or stand-alone and concise. 175 | 176 | \textbf{Finish Strong:} At the end, make a summary (2 or 3 paragraphs) to re-emphasize the points discussed in the chapter. 177 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /LICENSE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Apache License 2 | Version 2.0, January 2004 3 | http://www.apache.org/licenses/ 4 | 5 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION 6 | 7 | 1.
