- Structure
- If using the Ifi latex example thesis, do not use the content (divsion in parts, etc.)
- The "nifty gadget" structure is a good starting point
- Example structure:
- Introduction
- Background / Related Work
- Methods / Implementation
- Experiments & Results
- General experimental setup
- Experiment1
- Setup
- Results
- Analysis
- ExperimentN
- Discussion
- Discussion (Taking a step back and interpreting/discussing at a general level what you have learned/implemented)
- Conclusion
- Future Work
- Figures and tables
- Reference in the text to all figures and tables
- If figures are not self-explanatory, explain either in caption or in text. Do not duplicate the explanatory text.
- Line-based figures should be included as vector graphics, and definitely not as low resolution images with compression artifacts.
- Try to keep figure fonts/text about the same size as in the text
- Do not copy-paste figures from other work, unless you have author/publisher consent (from same research group). If remaking a figure, refer to the original in the caption
- Creative commons / similar. Can be used. E.g. flickr, wikimedia commons.
- Remember proper attribution which is a license requirement, Creative Commons: Best practices for attribution
- Check how you can use the works Creative Commons: Licenses
- Figures should be centered and no text around
- If using "list of figures" in latex, please use caption summaries (using []) to avoid a very long list
- Grammar and spelling
- Typos and grammar mistakes should be avoided, and one needs to actively work with this
- Copy-paste to Word or similar for a grammar + syntax check. Only syntax checking is not sufficient
- Have a human read through as well!
- Typos and grammar mistakes should be avoided, and one needs to actively work with this
- References
- If you want to refer to a website without any specific document, one can include it in a footnote (as to not "spam" the reference list)
- Introduction
- Brief intro to the area (and problem)
- Brief state-of-the-art in the research field
- Move on to the challenge - what you are planning to do to fix this / why you want to do this
- Research/thesis goals/questions (with sub-goals)
- Contributions - your own contributions with this thesis work
- Outline / structure of the thesis (what you will do in each chapter)
- Experiments and results
- for each major experiment:
- description of experiment
- results - objective without interpretation
- analysis / discussion - for that specific experiment
- for each major experiment:
