PhD_Thesis_template

This is a template for writing a PhD thesis build upon the LaTeX standalone package. This template is suitable when major contribution chapters are published papers that the author would want to directly integrate. In this template, each chapter can be compiled separately, making it easier to track incremental changes. **Important** All chpater-wise tex files must have the following package declarations in the beginning: \documentclass[float=true, crop=false]{standalone} \usepackage[subpreambles=false]{standalone} \usepackage{import} \usepackage{blindtext} And, the following conditional inclusion of bibliography in the end of the chapter-wise tex files. \ifstandalone % \bibliographystyle{Your_Preferred_Format} \bibliography{chap1} \fi
