Abstract

This R Markdown template is for writing an Harrisburg University dissertation. The template is built using Yihui Xie’s bookdown package, with heavy inspiration from Chester Ismay’s thesisdown and the OxThesis 
aTeX template (most recently adapted by John McManigle). This template’s sample content include illustrations of how to write a thesis in R Markdown, and largely follows the structure from this R Markdown workshophttps://ulyngs.github.io/rmarkdown-workshop-2019/. Congratulations for taking a step further into the lands of open, reproducible science by writing your thesis using a tool that allows you to transparently include tables and dynamically generated plots directly from the underlying data. Hip hooray! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, his ornatus disputando ut. Reprimique adversarium in vix, labore virtute nominati pro eu. Per ea sonet omnium, cu torquatos repudiandae vim. Dolor quaerendum an mei. Libris singulis posidonium has eu, usu et sale urbanitas efficiantur, mea eu eros delectus. At natum legimus per, ex his meis bonorum fuisset. Id equidem dolores principes pro. Te fabulas facilisis est. Ad mea case dicit numquam, eos et oratio dicant soluta. Nisl prima voluptatibus eu vis, enim postea offendit mei eu, tale purto ne vix. Per ut errem vivendo.

1 Introduction

Above all else, look to your committee for needed chapters and their content.

Your standard APA introduction goes here.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, his ornatus disputando ut. Reprimique adversarium in vix, labore virtute nominati pro eu. Per ea sonet omnium, cu torquatos repudiandae vim. Dolor quaerendum an mei. Libris singulis posidonium has eu, usu et sale urbanitas efficiantur, mea eu eros delectus.

At natum legimus per, ex his meis bonorum fuisset. Id equidem dolores principes pro. Te fabulas facilisis est. Ad mea case dicit numquam, eos et oratio dicant soluta. Nisl prima voluptatibus eu vis, enim postea offendit mei eu, tale purto ne vix. Per ut errem vivendo.

2 General Overview

At this point you have already written at least three different literature reviews. This chapter explains why your portfolio should be considered as a single work, not several different works stapled together.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, his ornatus disputando ut. Reprimique adversarium in vix, labore virtute nominati pro eu. Per ea sonet omnium, cu torquatos repudiandae vim. Dolor quaerendum an mei. Libris singulis posidonium has eu, usu et sale urbanitas efficiantur, mea eu eros delectus.

At natum legimus per, ex his meis bonorum fuisset. Id equidem dolores principes pro. Te fabulas facilisis est. Ad mea case dicit numquam, eos et oratio dicant soluta. Nisl prima voluptatibus eu vis, enim postea offendit mei eu, tale purto ne vix. Per ut errem vivendo.

Diam justo et quo, an prima inermis qui. Eam laudem praesent no, atqui graeco nonumes te sed, et has suas facete diceret. Nihil instructior ius ad, nec nobis utamur ad. No repudiare theophrastus mei, vim novum scribentur ad.

Semper instructior ei sit, cu tamquam dolores mei. Ex suas vocent delicata est, augue populo te vim. Accumsan aliquando vituperatoribus eu mel, ne euismod instructior vel, vix ea delectus appetere. Pro id graeci laoreet eligendi. Eos ex animal timeam accumsan, ad mel platonem delicata. Quo doming necessitatibus eu.

3 Research Status

This chapter details where you are going to publish your portfolio works. You need the working name, targeted publisher, current status, and timeline.

This chapter will be very short and only needed as part of your proposal.

The following sections detail the targeted publications.

  1. “My 1st Publication,” Chapter 4
  2. “My 2nd Publication,” Chapter 5
  3. “My 3rd Publication,” Chapter 6

Chapter 4 will be submitted to the Datahttps://www.mdpi.com/journal/data for consideration in their January Issue. Chapter 5 will be submitted to the Datahttps://www.mdpi.com/journal/data for consideration in their January Issue. Chapter 6 will be submitted to the Datahttps://www.mdpi.com/journal/data for consideration in their January Issue.

NOTE: The chapters in your publications are sub-chapters in your dissertation. This means you need to add a \(2^{nd}\) # in front of your headings in those files.

7 Conclusion

If we don’t want Conclusion to have a chapter number next to it, we can add the {-} attribute.

More info

And here’s some other random info: the first paragraph after a chapter title or section head shouldn’t be indented, because indents are to tell the reader that you’re starting a new paragraph. Since that’s obvious after a chapter or section title, proper typesetting doesn’t add an indent there.
