Graduate School LaTeX templates for Lab rotation proposal + report, OIST beamer and Thesis + thesis proposal

LaTeX-templates

This repository has been split into 6 repositories, one per template, to help with maintaining Overleaf templates.

Please follow the links below to find the repositories:

• Lab Rotation Proposal
• Lab Rotation Report
• PhD Thesis Proposal
• PhD Thesis
• Scientific Posters
• OIST presentation

All instructions are specified within the templates themselves. Contact Academic Program Team ([email protected]) for any question related to the templates.

latex-templates's Issues

Automatic construction of glossaries

I am sorry for suddenly making many suggestions, but how about using a package such as glossaries to automatically construct lists of abbreviations, glossaries and nomenclatures?

If you think it would be nice, I am willing to work on it (because I will use glossaries in my thesis in any case).

Workflow question

Due to the way this repository is structured, it is unlikely for users to directly fork it to create their presentation / Thesis / Proposal. Instead, users will copy the relevant sections, modify the license, and create a new repo entirely (such is the case here: https://github.com/leios/thesis).

Because of this, if there is a change in the relevant template, it is difficult to merge those changes to the working repositories. It is also difficult to make PR's because the working repo is not a direct fork of OIST/LaTeX-templates.

This is ultimately not a huge issue, but I am wondering if it might be better to split each template into its own repo (OIST/PhD-thesis, OIST/LaTeX-presentation, OIST/PhD-proposal, etc...) such that it's easier to pull changed from upstream or make PR's?

Admittedly, these are OIST templates and most OIST users do not actively use git or version control. As such, this is a really low-priority issue for now.

Using Subfiles Instead of Input

This is not an issue, but how about using subfiles package and subfile command rather than input command?

Currently, a whole thesis is compiled. However, for a long thesis (hopefully with sparkling scientific findings), compiling a whole thesis takes a bit of time. Therefore, when writing a thesis, it would be nice if each chapter or section can be compiled separately.
