Struggling with your Ph.D. thesis? You're not alone.

Crafting a thesis that meets the rigorous


standards of academia can be an overwhelming task. From conducting extensive research to
organizing your thoughts coherently and presenting them convincingly, every step demands
meticulous attention to detail and scholarly finesse.

One of the most challenging aspects of writing a Ph.D. thesis is the sheer volume of work involved.
It's not just about putting words on paper; it's about delving deep into your subject matter, critically
analyzing existing literature, formulating original ideas, and synthesizing complex information into a
cohesive argument. Moreover, the process can be mentally taxing, requiring sustained focus and
discipline over an extended period.

For many students, balancing the demands of thesis writing with other commitments such as
coursework, teaching responsibilities, or personal obligations can feel like an uphill battle. The
pressure to produce groundbreaking research while adhering to strict academic conventions can lead
to feelings of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt.

And it is a fact, that women only after the First World War, thanks to the social changes and the
granting of women’s suffrage in 1918 finally equal treatments had and from now on full membership
of the University enjoed. (Eddey, VF, 18). For my List of Symbols I want an additional row, i.e.
Symbol, Description, Unit. I would like to split them onto the next page (ideally on the page facing
the figure, but overleaf would be fine too). Assuming you are using biblatex (the default bibliography
formatter used in the template), there are examples of many pre-defined styles here. However,
switching to PageStyleII also changes the overall style of the pages which may be undesirable. Any
advice on this? Do you perhaps have access to a similarly-formatted beltcrest that is the newer
version. I have had personal communication with Keith Gillow (author of the original maths
template) who said “From my perspective you are very welcome to use and adjust this as the others
have done before you, and also feel free to put it on github etc.” and Sam Evans (who modified it for
social sciences use) who said “I’m also totally fine for this code to be as open as possible and live
freely on the net.”. I would like to split them onto the next page (ideally on the page facing the
figure, but overleaf would be fine too). An optional draft notice (with date) can be included in the
footer — just remember to turn it off before submitting. 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.

University Library and Information Science Program. The redactions were made in line with requests
from the British Government, and include primarily a description of the location of the Wassenaar
Secretariat, the Arrangement’s information system, and the reproduction in Appendix G of the
Guidelines for the Drafting of Lists. Would you tell me an example chapter title and page size so I
can start testing. The maintoc section level is set in the main text fairly straightforwardly but i’m
finding it hard to figure out what to amend to make the minitoc depth match it. It also tends to
involve pretty individual help depending on your setup. Besides that, our intuitive editor saves you
from writing and formatting it in Oxford PhD Thesis. I’ll also take a look at how to modify my
template to do what you’re asking, but it might take me a couple of days. With a bit of a clumsier
tweak from me the script did exactly what I wanted as I also needed the “Chapter” word before the
number. Some of the more popular are with bibtex and biber. I’m hoping to use it (or a slightly
modified version) for my MSc thesis this year. I was wondering whether it’s possible to change the
font size of just the bibliography, i.e., have chapters in 12pt and bibliography in 10pt. I haven’t
changed any of the page size or font settings from your template. These cookies will be stored in

Really appreciate you sharing it and for your help on this issue. I was wondering is there a way for
the examples not to start from 1 with the beginning of every chapter. Is it possible to also change the
sub-section numbering within different chapters. How can I adjust the look and feel of the links
behavior. I found this a great way to inject a bit of personality into the thesis (via the epigraph) and
ensure that my reader wasn’t getting lost (table of contents). An example to mention would probably
be Eton, a great private boarding school, each preparing its students for Oxford of Cambridge.
(Curtis, 1952, 240). You can rearrange the text blocks, and the title page will rearrange according to
your changes. White ties for the students at exams and bowler hats for the porters are the correct
dress forChrist Church. (Shukmann, VF, 140) A famous Christ Church lecturer was Charles Dogson,
who wrote under the pen name of Lewis Carol, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the
Looking Glass, to please Alice Liddell, little daughter of the dean of the college. However, why use
a template when you can write your entire manuscript on SciSpace, auto format it as per Oxford PhD
Thesis's guidelines and download the same in Word, PDF and LaTeX formats. Which doesn’t mean
what you’re asking for is impossible, just that it’s a little clumsy. As there is no copyright and license,
people in most jurisdictions are not allowed to make any changes to ociamthesis.cls. I was lucky
enough to find a template that Sam Evans adapted for social sciences use based on the original maths
template by Keith Gillow. To turn this package off, open ociamthesis.cls and comment out (by
putting a percent sign % at the beginning of each line): 1. If you decide to make further
modifications yourself, it might help to refer to the source code for quotchap. Nearly all the titles
longer than one line are hyphenated, often very awkwardly. When you’re starting a new section in a
LaTeX document, you don’t click bold and increase the font size. Do you know how I might be able
to use bold face small caps in my document? Thanks. Let me play around with your solution to the
second issue. Most LaTeX packages should have an option to run biber, but more technical advice
can be found here. Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. I
was wondering whether it’s possible to change the font size of just the bibliography, i.e., have

Perhaps by reducing the size of the section and subsection font. Let me play around with your
solution to the second issue. If you are feeling particularly generous, you could put a sentence in
your thesis Acknowledgement section that says something like “I would like to thank John
McManigle, Sam Evans, and Keith Gillow for developing the template used to format this thesis.”.
It grew rather than was founded and it was not until it had been in existence for some time that it
was anything like a colege in the modern meaning of the word. I have experience with Latex, I
worked on it a lot but still no results. The survey was open to researchers in Humanities and Social
Sciences at all stages of their careers and garnered almost 5,000 responses. With a bit of a clumsier
tweak from me the script did exactly what I wanted as I also needed the “Chapter” word before the

up making my own modifications, and re-packaged the template for posterity. This will return you to
the default LaTeX chapter headers. I was wondering whether it’s possible to change the font size of
just the bibliography, i.e., have chapters in 12pt and bibliography in 10pt. I haven’t changed any of
the page size or font settings from your template. I am trying to update the beltcrest to the newer

template by Keith Gillow. John’s, on the site of Magdalen, which still has some of its walls. I have
tried putting the caption in a separate float but this doesn’t always appear immediately after the
figure and it disrupts the figure numbering. I’m using it currently for my master thesis in physics.
Many science and engineering theses use lots of abbreviations. Another new educational way was
the privat schools. Most LaTeX packages should have an option to run biber, but more technical
advice can be found here. Thanks for making data science easier, more accessible, and more fun for
us all. I think there should be a reasonably straightforward solution. I’m currently struggling with
recurrent Overfull \hbox errors in my section and subsection headers. Btw can you tell me how to
rearrange the different block items on the title page. At the Renaissance the new learning found its
leading exponents in Easmus, who lectured there and in such famous scholars as William Grocyn,
John Colet, and Sir Thomas More. Any changes you make there should carry over to your complied
thesis. Assuming you are using biblatex (the default bibliography formatter used in the template),
there are examples of many pre-defined styles here. We also use third-party cookies that help us

Times New Roman and the line spacing of all text to 1.5x line spacing? Also, is there a way to
include the Supervisor Name on the Title Page. The template retains Sam Evans’s use of the
quotchap and minitoc packages to (optionally) include an epigraph and brief table of contents at the
beginning of each chapter.
You can rearrange the text blocks, and the title page will rearrange according to your changes. An

near the century everything was put in question. There are no doubt more “correct” answers to this
question in terms of modifying the chapter headings entirely, but the simplest answer to your
question is to insert the following line. So it will only be added if the new chapter would otherwise
start on a left-facing page. 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. I wound up making my own
modifications, and re-packaged the template for posterity. More science students, more laboratories,
a whole new class and kind of Oxford academic. It would be ideal if there is a way to remove that
big white space when applying the first solution. 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. I’m having trouble with the Bibtex
as John Ylang had written previously. This has fixed it and brought it back to the default (which I

This template has a quick option to switch to this master’s submission format. To turn this package
off, open ociamthesis.cls and comment out (by putting a percent sign % at the beginning of each
line): 1. 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. I tried to screenshot the new
logo, save as jpg and convert to pdf as the same name, but the pdf is now considered an entire A4
page so it looks terrible. While there are some dedicated LaTeX classes that meet these needs in

used in the template), there are examples of many pre-defined styles here. 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. In order to answer your question, I would have to know exactly how you set your
font to something different in the first place. Remember that in LaTeX, a percent sign begins a
comment, so if you have a line like. That way quotchap will override titlesec for chapters only. If you
just download the thesis file, unzip it, and compile it, does the logo appear. Respondents felt it
complemented the journal article, while playing its own unique role as a medium for both research
and publication. Humanities and social sciences theses often need glossaries. This seems like the kind
of thing people would do all the time but I can’t seem to get anything to work. Have the term on one
line and the definition below.
I’m using it for my dissertation with a few alterations here and there. 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. This seems to be happening because of the chapters being in their separate.tex files. 2.
There seems to be something weird happening with some of the formatting when I have a figure, a
table or a big example. Most LaTeX packages should have an option to run biber, but more technical
advice can be found here. For a more “full-featured” glossary, look into the official glossary package
in LaTeX. It seems like this error sometimes comes up when the program (based on a google search,
maybe TexStudio and MiKTeX more than others) can’t find the LaTeX package repository to get all
of the fonts installed. AndQueen’s College, whose members troop to dinner at the sound of trompet.
(Grosvenor, 1966, 98). But I would like to use “Chapter 1” instead of only number. 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. Most
LaTeX packages should have an option to run biber, but more technical advice can be found here. To
turn this package off, open ociamthesis.cls and comment out (by putting a percent sign % at the

separate references. I was wondering is there a way for the examples not to start from 1 with the
beginning of every chapter. I’m having trouble with the Bibtex as John Ylang had written previously.
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. Let me play around with your
solution to the second issue. Some of the more popular are with bibtex and biber. Thankfully,
typesetting tools like LaTeX can minimize this headache by providing consistent, structured
formatting. Will also take this opportunity to upload to Github so that people can suggest updates and
pull requests more easily. It also tends to involve pretty individual help depending on your setup.
This template has a quick option to switch to this master’s submission format. If you decide to go
this route, this cheatsheet might help. I’m using it currently for my master thesis in physics. I haven’t
changed any of the page size or font settings from your template. I tried reordering these blocks
PhDThesisPSnPDF.cls and thesis-info.tex files to no effect. If I insert a hypen or line break then this
looks odd in my mini-toc. Is it possible to also change the sub-section numbering within different
chapters. I’m using it currently for my master thesis in physics. If you are feeling particularly
generous, you could put a sentence in your thesis Acknowledgement section that says something like
“I would like to thank John McManigle, Sam Evans, and Keith Gillow for developing the template

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. For some reason my chapter titles have changed font
from the Computer Modern font they were before. I have three unrelated chapters, at the end of
which I would like to add separate references. I’m having trouble with the Bibtex as John Ylang
had written previously. You'll see how helpful they are and how inexpensive they are compared to
other options, Especially for Oxford PhD Thesis. I am wondering when using multiple citations
within the same parentheses, can I tell latex to order them. The disadvantage is that without a float
environment, you’ll have to put the figure exactly where you want it in text, so if you change the text
around the figure, or change page layout or line spacing, you may have to move the picture manually
to put it in the correct place on the page. Oxford as well as Cambridge, which is the second most
famous college city in England, located on the Eastcoast, suffred from lots of land confiscations and
revenues during the Reformation period. More science students, more laboratories, a whole new class
and kind of Oxford academic. The other one is like you said, term on one line and definition below.
I have tried putting the caption in a separate float but this doesn’t always appear immediately after
the figure and it disrupts the figure numbering. And, just as importantly, it can be turned off when
you want to print a version for yourself. The disadvantage is that without a float environment, you’ll
have to put the figure exactly where you want it in text, so if you change the text around the figure,
or change page layout or line spacing, you may have to move the picture manually to put it in the

should be), a good template is everything. 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. This template
also inserts an “Appendices” page (and ToC entry) between chapters and appendices. Is there anyone
who can display the references page. This can get tricky in documents using lots of packages. 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). I’m hoping to use it (or a slightly modified version) for my
MSc thesis this year. You can write your entire paper as per the Oxford PhD Thesis guidelines and
auto format it. If your (single spaced) minitoc would end in a place where the next paragraph would
fall in a very odd place (ie with only one line on the page, or one line dangling off the next), LaTeX
might have decided that it “knows best” and to fix the “issue” instead increased spacing on your
minitoc. With a bit of a clumsier tweak from me the script did exactly what I wanted as I also
needed the “Chapter” word before the number. I have tried putting the caption in a separate float but
this doesn’t always appear immediately after the figure and it disrupts the figure numbering. My
graduate school says they want them removed (tbh I think they’re great though). Performance
