\section{General Setup}

In the HY-CS-main.tex file you will find the following STEPS 0--5. Below you can find related instructions.
\vspace{0.5cm}

\textbf{STEP 0 -- Access the thesis template}

\begin{itemize}
\item Import the thesis template into a new Overleaf project. The easiest way to do it is to:
\begin{itemize}
    \item Obtain a zip file of the LaTeX template from the webpage of your programme.
    \item Go to \url{https://www.overleaf.com/edu/helsinki} and login to Overleaf with your university credentials.
    \item Go to the list of your projects at \url{https://www.overleaf.com/project}, click ``New Project'' and ``Upload Project''.,  the projects under your account 
    \item Then upload the zip with the template.
    \item You are now ready to write your thesis in Overleaf by editing the template, you can start by renaming the project.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}


{\textbf{STEP 1 -- BSc or MSc thesis?}}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Select whether your are writing BSc (tkt) or MSc (csm for CS) thesis.
\item Select your language: \texttt{finnish}, \texttt{english}, or \texttt{swedish}.
\item If you are writing MSc select your line / track.
\end{enumerate}


{\textbf{STEP 2 -- Set up your personal information}}

\begin{enumerate}
\item Specify the title of your thesis with \texttt{\textbackslash title\{\}}.
\item Specify your name to the author field with \texttt{\textbackslash author\{\}}.
\item Specify the names of your supervisors of the thesis with \texttt{\textbackslash supervisors\{\}}.
\item Specify the keywords of the thesis with \texttt{\textbackslash keywords\{\}}.
\item Specify the ACM classification terms of the thesis with \texttt{\textbackslash classification\{\}}. See \url{https://dl.acm.org/ccs} for more information.
\end{enumerate}

{\textbf{STEP 3 -- Write your abstract}}

\begin{itemize}
\item You can have the abstract in multiple languages with the \texttt{otherlanguages} environment. The example below shows how to provide an English abstract: 

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{otherlanguage}{english} 
\begin{abstract}
Your abstract text goes here. 
\end{abstract} 
\end{otherlanguage}
\end{verbatim}

\end{itemize}

{\textbf{STEP 4 -- Writing your thesis}}

\begin{enumerate}
\item There are some minimal contents and instructions below 
\item Remove, or comment out, this appendix from your thesis.
\end{enumerate}

{\textbf{STEP 5 -- Set your bibliography style}}

\begin{itemize}
\item The default is Author-Year style (Einstein, 1905), but it can be easily changed to numbered [1] or alphabetical [Ein05] , as the examples of these are in comments.
\item Discuss the style to use with your supervisor.
\end{itemize}

\section{Bibliography in Latex}

The bibliography is defined in a separate \texttt{.bib} file. For this template, it is named \texttt{bibliography.bib} and includes the content show in Figure~\ref{bibexamples}.

Chapter Bibliography lists all the works that you refer to in your text. You refer to the works in the bibliography using an appropriate \emph{citation key}.
%
%This thesis template contains an example of a bibliography.


References are done using \texttt{\textbackslash citep\{einstein\}}, which generates in text a citation formatted according to the selected style \citep{einstein}, or \texttt{\textbackslash citep\{latexcompanion,knuth99\}}, which generates \citep{latexcompanion,knuth99}. 
As examples of a different kinds of citations (see how these look in the Latex source), we can write \citep{einstein} to refer to the work written by \citeauthor{einstein} in \citeyear{einstein}, because the work by \citet{einstein} appears in the bilbliography included in this template.

Note that there are different possible styles for the bibliography and citation keys.
%
Consult your supervisors on the chosen style -- and once you arrive at a preferred style, use it consistently throughout the thesis.

\section{Some instructions about writing in Latex}

The following gives some superficial instructions for using this template for a Master's thesis. For guidelines on thesis writing you can consult various sources, such as university courses on scientific writing or your supervisors.

For more detailed instructions, just google, e.g., "Overleaf table positioning", and your chances of finding good info are pretty good.  


\section{Figures}
Besides text, here are simple examples how you can add figures and tables in your thesis.
Remember always to refer to each figure in the main text and provide them with a descriptive caption.

Figure~\ref{fig:logo} is an example of a figure in the document (see the source about how to add them). 
%Using figures is particularly useful to display plots of experimental results.

\begin{figure}[ht] 
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{template/figures/HY-logo-ml.png}
\caption{University of Helsinki flame-logo for Faculty of Science.\label{fig:logo}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\section{Tables}

Table~\ref{table:results} gives an example of a table.
Remember always to cite the table in the main text, table captions go on top of the table. 

\begin{table}[h] % h positions the table here, t! would force on top of the page, or example.
\begin{center}
\caption{Experimental results.\label{table:results}} % caption is here to make it on top
\begin{tabular}{l||l c r} 
Experiment & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 
\hline \hline 
$A$ & 2.5 & 4.7 & -11 \\
$B$ & 8.0 & -3.7 & 12.6 \\
$A+B$ & 10.5 & 1.0 & 1.6 \\
\hline
%
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
