Abstract

This is an emerging Wikibook to guide through the Bachelor/Master/PhD-Thesis process, with a focus on writing, but also on which work and steps need to be done to get to a good, written thesis.

Introduction

Specifics

How your specific thesis should and will look like depends on

• Region (e.g. Lower Saxony, Germany)
• Institution (e.g. Leibniz Universität Hannover)
• Faculty (e.g. Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science)
• (Sub)department (e.g. Data Science and Digital Libraries)
• Evaluator/Supervisor (e.g. your Professor)
• Time (e.g. 2024)

This guide attempts to unify all universal guidelines, while individual rules are separeted into modules:

• Data Science and Digital Libraries at Leibnitz Universität Hannover

Introduction

Introduce the Guide.

Background/Related Work

Anything that could be interesting for this thesis guide. Even if it might not end up being used, it should be here.

Software

Writing Environment

LaTeX

LaTeX

Trend towards Overleaf

Either Overleaf (online) or Visual Studio Code (local):

Visual Studio Code

+ a TeX distribution

MikTex + Strawberry Perl

See:

• Install Perl. You can use Strawberry Perl in Windows.
• If you don't have administrator privileges you can install the portable version and add the path to the executable to the PATH environment variable.
• Install MikTeX. The creator of LaTeX Workshop suggests to use TeX Live instead because it already comes with Perl and you could skip one step in this list. The disadvantages of using TeX Live instead of MikTeX are more (see here).

TexLive

+ LaTeX Workshop

Grammarly, LanguageTool

Approach

How-To knowledge. This is the "Guide" part of the thesis guide.

Present one example workflow of how a general thesis could look like.
