Table of abbreviations. Many science and engineering theses use lots of abbreviations. Humanities and social sciences theses often need glossaries. While there are some dedicated LaTeX classes that meet these needs in complex cases, I decided to create a simple list environment to handle the routine cases. Highlighted corrections. Most Oxford theses go through a round of corrections, as time-honored a tradition as the viva itself.
Minor corrections generally just involve sending a PDF of your revised thesis to your internal examiner. Major corrections often require a more exacting process.
This class allows you to designate text or figures, etc as a correction. You can then toggle between generating a document in which these corrections are highlighted in blue ideal for sending to your examiner for a quick read-through and just printing them without any adornment for generating your final copy.
Page layout, draft, and spacing options. In a few keystrokes, you can switch between a double-spaced, single-sided, binding-margin document ideal for submission , a 1. An optional draft notice with date can be included in the footer — just remember to turn it off before submitting! And, just as importantly, it can be turned off when you want to print a version for yourself. Subscribe to comments with RSS.
Thanks very much to you and Sam Evans for developing this! Thanks very much for this. I am trying to change the titles of the chapters though to align left rather than right.. I have been trying all day! This should redefine the chapter-heading command to move both the grey number and the chapter title to the left side of the page. Hope it helps! Pingback: Structure your thesis — thesismathblog. It is the most beautiful template which I have referred. HOW can I do, please? I am the beginner in Latex.
Hi John, great code! I would like for the number to always be at the bottom centre of the page… Thanks in advance!
Hi Sandra, So sorry for the delay in responding! Hi John, thanks a lot! If you just download the thesis file, unzip it, and compile it, does the logo appear? I have removed the quote and want the Section header i. Hi William, Apologies for the late reply! Setting it to 0 will leave a generous top margin that you might find looks appropriate even without a quote. But do play with it! Hello John, thanks for the template. How do I add my bibtex database i. It also tends to involve pretty individual help depending on your setup.
This template should work with whatever your preferred LaTeX referencing setup is, so I suggest getting in-person help from someone at your uni who has done it before. I was wondering how I could decrease the upper margin of the title page so that there is more space for additional subtitles below. Thank you for the amazing template! Apologies for the late reply! Assuming you are writing a DPhil thesis, add a line to ociamthesis. That section of the file would then look like:.
Try -3cm. I was wondering is there a way for the examples not to start from 1 with the beginning of every chapter? This seems to be happening because of the chapters being in their separate.
There seems to be something weird happening with some of the formatting when I have a figure, a table or a big example.
The text gets spread out. Any suggestions? That will help me answer this question. Yes, raggedbottom will fix this, at the expense of not having the bottoms of your pages line up neatly. Can you please help me to figure out to add a Glossary and a List of Publications in the preamble before ending the Roman pages?
The template uses the Computer Modern font , which is the default in LaTeX and is widely used in technical publishing partially for this reason. Thank you for the great template. I guess the font size that is used is How can I change it? I am a bit confused as google returned to me another file with the same name first. Why is the same material distributed at different places, with different versions and a clear copyright and license note?
As there is no copyright and license, people in most jurisdictions are not allowed to make any changes to ociamthesis. You are of course absolutely right; without a clear license it is very difficult to confidently make and distribute changes.
With that permission, Diego Vitali has adapted the same to suit the Roehampton University standard, which he published under a GNU license. Will also take this opportunity to upload to Github so that people can suggest updates and pull requests more easily.
Some of the more popular are with bibtex and biber. This template is currently designed to use biber, since it is growing in popularity and is easier to make custom changes to without learning a whole new language.
Hello, I have an issue, I am not able to find how to display the bibliography in this oxford template, how can I display it?
Hi John! Thank you very much for opening up this template for others but I seem to have an error from it when trying to compile the bibtex as it is from the download, that says. I am running it from texmaker. Hi, this is a great template! My only question is how do I adjust the font to Times New Roman and the line spacing of all text to 1. Also, is there a way to include the Supervisor Name on the Title Page?
I have stumbled across this having already written my masters dissertation. I would like to make my title page the same as the one in yours, but I have not managed to figure out how to do so.
Any help would be appreciated! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this template with the wider community. Hi John, thank you so much for this brilliant template which is making my PhD life much easier! Can you assist? Hi John, I managed to solve the problem in my last post — please ignore! Hi, Thank you so much for this template. May I ask how to change the option of double space and 1.
Hi John, Many thanks for this! Many, many thanks for this template, it is so helpful. I am submitting my thesis in the form of journal articles for the different chapters.
I was wondering if you could advise how I can create a small reference list per chapter including only those references cited in that chapter? Is it possible to also change the sub-section numbering within different chapters? Hi John, is the template still working? Update: I fixed the referencing problem using the following. You need to select Biber instead of Bibtex. From stackexchange:.
Thanks so much for making this available, I really like it! Thank you for the template, great job! However, as many complained about it, the refences page is missing. Is there anyone who can display the references page? I have experience with Latex, I worked on it a lot but still no results.
I wonder how I could fit in a subheading below the title on the front page, in a slightly smaller fonts size? So it will only be added if the new chapter would otherwise start on a left-facing page. Specifically, you should probably add a percent sign at the beginning of line 26 and remove the one at the beginning of line 28 to change to one-sided binding, like so:.
If you do want two-sided binding, but with chapters allowed to start on either side, change line 26 to:. I am wondering when using multiple citations within the same parentheses, can I tell latex to order them?
I would want them to be ordered, starting with the oldest publication. Hi, sorting of citations, and especially sorting them differently in the bibliography vs the in-text citations, is a big rabbit hole that you can dive down here if your resolve is firm.
You already provided a list of abbrevations with two rows. For my List of Symbols I want an additional row, i. Symbol, Description, Unit. It should look like this:. Is there a way to modify the existing mclistof environment to achieve that, i.
I make no promises, but try adding to ociamthesis. Thanks a lot for your quick response. The proposed code works just as I wanted it to work. Thanks a lot for your help. Assuming you are using biblatex the default bibliography formatter used in the template , there are examples of many pre-defined styles here. Basic ideas about customizing styles in more detail which can get pretty complicated are here , with one example here.
If you decide to go this route, this cheatsheet might help. Hello, Thanks so much for the amazing template. If I insert a hypen or line break then this looks odd in my mini-toc. Is there a away to get round this? Perhaps by reducing the size of the section and subsection font?
Hi John, thank you so much for the template! Just prepping for hard copy bod submission and wondering how to remove page numbers from the blank pages between chapters? Thanks in advance! The blank pages between chapters are there to make sure that chapters open on right-hand facing pages when printing a two-sided thesis. For more details, look here and here. Hi John — thank you for the template! I have an issue with some very long captions which run off the bottom boundary of the page.
I would like to split them onto the next page ideally on the page facing the figure, but overleaf would be fine too. Any suggestions would be great — thanks in advance! The two I would suggest trying are:.
Option 1, adapted from here , is to forego the float environment entirely and just do everything inline. Code to insert a figure would look like this:. Try this to place your image:. Hi John — this is great. Thank you very much! Option 2 worked for me with some careful placement parameters. I really appreciate it :. Remember that in LaTeX, a percent sign begins a comment, so if you have a line like:.
I am trying to remove hyphenation from my section and sub-section titles. Nearly all the titles longer than one line are hyphenated, often very awkwardly. This works but it breaks the chapter pages: instead of the nice grey number, it outputs eg. I guess this is something to do with quotchap.
Is there a way to make section and subsection left flush or at least change the tolerance without affecting the chapter pages? Would you tell me an example chapter title and page size so I can start testing? I think there should be a reasonably straightforward solution.
Thanks very much indeed. Thanks; sorry I misread your original post and thought it was chapter titles, rather than section titles, that were being hyphenated. The easiest solution is to add this not in the preamble, but to ociamthesis. That way quotchap will override titlesec for chapters only.
I tried forcing it with single-spacing which seems okay. But in either case the minitoc spans across two pages when really it seems in your version the chapter title page is quite compact with even text beginning directly after. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
The version of this template that I modified had the minitoc double spaced, and one of my changes was to single space it. My biggest suggestion is that maybe your first paragraph just after the minitoc is a length that the system thinks would look bad without that extra spacing.
Another way would be to compile the thesis with the example text that came with the template and see if that is single or double spaced.
Hi John, thanks very much for your input. I toyed around with the following in the cls file. Basically all of these start way at the top of the page including one of the chapters. I think the easiest thing might be to make a copy of your whole thesis directory, remove all but one chapter and all figures, compile it to make sure it still has the problem, and then and email the directory to me john oxfordechoes.
Unfortunately trying to debug something like this that depends on changes to multiple files is too hard to do on this kind of forum. Main TOC successfully shows numbers to subsubsection but minitoc stops at subsection. Thanks very much in advance! For excruciating detail on minitocs, see here. This is surprisingly a more complicated question than it should be. A list of codes is here , but a short list is: ptm for Times, ppl for Palatino, pbk for Bookman, phv for Helvetica, pcr for Courier.
The list of font packages in the same order as above is mathptmx, palatino, bookman, helvet, courier. Thank you for the excellent template. I could not figure out how to change the colour of the chapter number headings to black instead of grey, and how to make chapter title to bold.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance. Thanks John. This seems to work. But instead of using nogrey I redefined chaptergrey with a new color with a new command.
Most of my terms are very long. It is possible to make the item automatically set a new line in their own space for glossary in the mclistof environment?
My little glossary area was designed to be a relatively quick-and-easy template for my minimal glossary. Have the term on one line and the definition below? I looked at most of the glossary style, there are mainly two ways to do for the long terms. The other one is like you said, term on one line and definition below.
I am happy with either one. But I think I prefer the first one with an adjustment which is when a term longer than a certain length the definition start a new line below. Do you know how I might be able to resolve this issue? If you decide to make further modifications yourself, it might help to refer to the source code for quotchap. Hi John, it is possible to put the footnote at the bottom of the page? I want to put a footnote for the chapter heading. Do you have any idea?
So your line would look like:. This is the title as it will appear in the Table of Contents. You can leave that part out if you want, but then the footnote mark will appear in the ToC. Do you know how I might be able to use bold face small caps in my document? Hi John, I will remove the red boxes lines around the links on the tableofcontents.
How can I adjust the look and feel of the links behavior? Hi Hermann, I apologize for the late reply! You will have to add your hyperref options to the oicamthesis.
Any changes you make there should carry over to your complied thesis. Let me know if you need any help! Hi John, Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful template! I just wanted to check one thing with you. For some reason my chapter titles have changed font from the Computer Modern font they were before. Is a way to bring them back to match the rest of the text. Many thanks, Claire. In order to answer your question, I would have to know exactly how you set your font to something different in the first place.
Hi John, Thank you so much! This has fixed it and brought it back to the default which I think is computer modern. Sadly I have no idea how I managed to change it from the default in the first place. Very much still learning with regards to Latex but your template has made it so much easier.
Really appreciate you sharing it and for your help on this issue. All the best, Claire. Thank you for producing such a brilliant template. This would help with my page limit massively, while still being within the rules. Glad the template is helping! Believe it or not, the bibliography font size is already a little smaller in the default template.
But you can fiddle with it more. You could theoretically do something fancier like the last thing described here to get an exact font size if you needed it, but you can probably get satisfactory results sticking with those pre-made options. Thanks for the great template!
I would like to remove the big chapter numbering, but unfortunately I cannot find the code for it. Can you help me? The same package, quotchap , does both the big chapter numbering and the quotes epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter. To turn this package off, open ociamthesis. Line — which loads the quotchap package, 2. I also moved the titlepage logo definition to the document preamble.
I felt these changes made it a derivative so appended -lyx to the filename. Yes, there is a latex class out there: S. Evans has modified the ociamthesis. He's added a definition to ociamthesis. Good luck, email me with any questions at danny. Skip to content. Star Branches Tags. Could not load branches. Could not load tags. Latest commit. Git stats 21 commits. Failed to load latest commit information. View code. How do I know if I installed the document class correctly?
How do I change the logo on the titlepage to my university? Where is my LyX user directory? What are the main differences between the ociamthesis-lyx. Is there an equivalent ociamthesis. How can I change the title page to my requirements? Next Copy the ociamthesis-lyx.
