PhD thesis template for LyX

This is the LyX document style that I used for my PhD thesis.

It's made available in the hope that it might be useful. It provides separate chapter files that can be independently compiled.

Instructions

1. Install the fonts in the fonts directory (if Open Sans is not already installed on your computer).
2. Edit preamble.tex to include your details
3. Edit Statements.lyx to include the copyright statements that you need. If you keep the existing ones, change your name in the two places where (insert your name) appears.
4. Place your bibtex file into this folder as library.bib
5. To create a new chapter file, copy an existing file and modify accordingly. There are some settings (e.g. output type, latex preamble) that are required at the top of each file, so copying an existing file is easier than creating an empty new document.

Notes

The bibtex style "bwp.bst" is a clean style with clickable DOIs. I didn't find a built in style that I liked with explicit DOIs, so I made one.
