Thesis Proposal

This repository contains the template for a Thesis Guidance Committee Reports sample. The general template can be found on the src/ directory. A version of the template can also be found on the Overleaf platform. We used the LaTeX format, a typesetting system that includes features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is available as free software. For more detailed information regarding this repository please follow our wiki.

Citing

We’d like to ask scientific works and studies that use the repository to cite it in their associated publications. Similarly, we ask open-source and closed-source works that use the repository to warn us about this use.

You can cite our work using the following BibTeX entry:

@phdthesis{HCDPIAMID2024,
  title        = {Human-Centered Design of Personalized Intelligent Agents in Medical Imaging Diagnosis},
  author       = {Francisco Maria Calisto},
  year         = 2024,
  month        = {February},
  address      = {Avenida Rovisco Pais 1, Lisbon, Portugal, European Union},

}

Instructions

The report_tgc_template repository can be used for the Thesis Guidance Committee Reports at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) of PDEI (or other Doctoral Programs), as it follows the regulations published by the Scientific Council of IST. The all source of the template is available inside the src/ folder, so please open it first. To start using, just open and modify your data as follows.

Cover

In the cover.tex file insert your data (your full name, titles, supervisors names, date, degree, etc.):

\title{}
\subtitle{}
\author{}
\degree{}
\supervisor{}
\othersupervisor{}
\date{}

Chapters

The content of your report will be written in the files of the chapters/ folder. Do not modify the header in all those documents, except the name of the document as it contains compilation directives. If you need to add more Chapters, just create new .tex file and add the header.

If you do not need that many Chapters in your report, just comment the lines in the main document:

document.tex

For example, if you do not need a 6th Chapter, comment the following lines:

%Chapter 6
\input{chapters/chap006.tex}
% If Printing on DOUBLE SIDED pages, the second page should be white.
% Otherwise, comment the following command:
\cleardoublepage

Bibliography

This file is the default bibliography database. If you are using mendeley.com as Reference Manager, you can link the .bib file to your account in that swervice in order to keep the data automatically synchronized.

For those purposes, replace that file with your own file, and if the name is different, just modify the corresponding line in in the main document document.tex file:

\bibliography{bibliography/references}
