Integrated thesis is a thesis format accepted by some doctoral programmes in Oxford University. It could include scientific papers as thesis chapters.

The key function is to group your papers (e.g. your latex source from arXiv) into a single thesis file with minimal modification. The template is designed to:

1. Keep the references (e.g. tables and figures) in each paper directory.
2. Fix the bibliography from multiple sources.

• Copy paper directories into chapter/, e.g. chapter/paper1/.
• Remove the preamble and the bibliography in the paper tex file, let it start from \title{}. See chapter/paper1/main.tex for example.
• Import the paper tex file in chapter/papers.tex, by declaring their relative paths.
• Add the additional bib source (for your paper) in def.tex or main.tex.
• (optional) Use vgg_bibtex/group_bib.py script to remove duplicate bibliography items.
• Compile main.tex.

This template is originally developed for my own thesis. You are welcomed to use it for your work, but at your own risk. It might be built on other great open-sourced thesis templates:

The bibliography part in def.tex is Shangzhe Wu's contribution.
