+\section{Producing the thesis pdf}
+
+This template has been prepared in LaTeX for usage with Overleaf. If your LaTeX source files contain no errors, then Overleaf produces the pdf file automatically.
+
+Of course, you are allowed to use the LaTeX template in other systems, but make sure you know how to produce the pdf file there.
+For example, in Linux, you typically need to execute the commands \texttt{pdflatex mainfile.tex} and \texttt{biber mainfile.tex} repeatedly until no more warnings are shown. This process can be automised using make-command.
+Note that normally we would be using \texttt{bibtex} command instead of \texttt{biber} but because of the biblatex package \texttt{biber} should be used.

+To refer to other works in the literature, make sure you include a ``Bibliography'' chapter after the concluding chapter that lists all the works that you refer to in your text; and that you refer to the works in the bibliography using an appropriate \emph{citation key}.
+%
+This thesis template contains an example of a bibliography.
+%
+As an example of a citation key, we can write \citep{einstein} to refer to the work written by Einstein in 1905, as it appears in the bilbliography included in this template.
-In Linux, run \texttt{pdflatex filename.tex} and \texttt{biber filename.tex} repeatedly until no more warnings are shown. This process can be automised using make-command.
-Note that normally we would be using \texttt{bibtex} command instead of \texttt{biber} but because of the biblatex package \texttt{biber} should be used.
+Note that there are different possible styles for the bibliography and citation keys.
+%
+You may consult your supervisors on the chosen style -- and once you arrive at a preferred style, use it consistently throughout the thesis.
