ucasthesis LaTeX Template

ucasthesis is a LaTeX template designed for writing Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral theses at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), as well as postdoctoral reports.

Key features include:

• High Abstraction: Encapsulates LaTeX complexity to provide simple interfaces for beginners.
• Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
• Multiple Engines: Supports pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex compilation engines.
• Flexible Bibliography: Supports bibtex and biber (biblatex) with various styles: authoryear, numbers, super, and alpha.
• Advanced Typography: Supports Chinese bookmarks, Chinese rendering, Chinese bold display, and searchable PDF text.
• Extensibility: Can be adapted into a general-purpose template for English or Chinese articles/books with minor modifications.

To use the template locally, download the repository as a ZIP file from GitHub by clicking Clone or download -> Download Zip on the right side of the repository page.

For users wanting to use Overleaf, refer to the font configuration guide for Linux/Overleaf systems.

Important: Before starting, read the included 模板使用说明.pdf (Template Usage Instructions) for guidance on compilation and design.

If you need templates for specific purposes other than a standard UCAS thesis, consider the following:

• Thesis Proposals: Use ucasproposal for UCAS opening reports.
• Book Spines: Use latexspine for creating LaTeX book spines.
• Support/Questions: If you encounter issues, follow the official question process rather than asking directly about compilation or design without reading the documentation first.

The template supports both BibTeX and BibLaTeX for managing references. It includes support for the Chinese national standard (GB/T 7714) styles:

• BibTeX: Uses gbt7714-bibtex-style.
• BibLaTeX: Uses biblatex-gb7714-2015.
