Scientific Writing for MSc in Computer Science : Layout and links
You must use the department's layout model for this article and in the future for your master's thesis.
You are expected to use this layout on seminar papers also, unless the seminar leader requires a different layout.
We also expect you to use LaTex to write your scientific report.
Layout template in LaTex (and openoffice):
- The department layout model and instructions. You can find the instruction document and other LaTex-templates in this directory (you will need tktltiki.cls, tktl.bst, babelbst.tex, englbst.tex, engl_malli.tex (your main text), lahteet.bib (your references), plus figure files etc).
- T.Oetiker et.al.: The not so short Introduction to LATEX2e
- Template for theses in OpenOffice (odt) format
- Template for abstract in rtf format
Bibliography management
As an computer science expert, you need to be able to manage your bibliography using an automated tool. Maintaining the bibliographical references by hand means that you are not yet a good-quality computer scientist.
- Latex users: Bibtex For Latex users this is easy, because bibtex has been designed for this purpose
- Word, Openoffice, Libreoffice users: You have multiple alternatives (2012 at least refworks, endnote, and zotero). Look at the recommendations and information about usage from the University library's support pages.
