amsterdown is an RMarkdown PhD thesis template for the University of Amsterdam. It’s based on my PhD thesis that I wrote with the bookdown package .

(R)Markdown enables you to write a reproducible PhD thesis using the lightweight and plain-text Markdown formatting. It forms a great notebook style workflow to integrate all your text, code, figures, and other output that together make up your PhD thesis work. Finally, bookdown allows you to easily create an html-version of your thesis that you can host online, and to harness the power of LaTeX to make a beautifully formatted PDF for printing your thesis.

This template is an easy way to get started, by:

• Providing a common and complete structure for the thesis, including appendices, acknowledgments, etc.
• Removing the need to write any LaTeX commands yourself (or at least, prolonging it as long as possible).
• Making sure you adhere to the University of Amsterdam thesis requirements.

Installation

amsterdown is not (yet) available on CRAN, so install it from GitHub with:

If you just want a peek at the template without installing it as an R package, check out the folder with all the files here on Github .

If you’ve installed the package and are using RStudio , simply navigate to “File” > “New File” > “R Markdown…” > “From Template” > “UvA thesis {amsterdown}”. Use index for the new directory name (feel free to change this after), so that the main file will be called index.Rmd , then hit OK.

Then, create a new RStudio project by going to “File” > “New Project…” > “Existing Directory”, then “Browse…” to the directory you just created ( index , or whatever you named it to), and finally hit “Create Project”.

Click “Build Book” from the Build pane to render the thesis to an output format of your choosing.

Or, (e.g., if you’re not using the RStudio IDE), run the following lines of R code to render the template:

See the package documentation for more detailed instructions and further information.

Example output

The template supports html and pdf outputs. To inspect the outputs as produced by the latest version of the template, see here: html , pdf (A4) , pdf (book)

Requirements

If you’re using RStudio , all you should have to do is install the amsterdown package (the bookdown package will be installed along with it). You’ll also need a LaTeX distribution to be able to create the pdf outputs. If you don’t have one yet, I’d recommend TinyTeX .

If you don’t have RStudio installed, you’ll also need to install pandoc if you don’t have it already (in addition to a LaTex distribution).

• Chester Ismay’s thesisdown for Reed College

Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage

The UvA makes all MA theses available online, unless there is an embargo placed on them. You can browse the UvA MA theses repository via keywords in the search bar on  UvA Scripties Online . When a particular MA thesis cannot be found or accessed, please try to enquire with the author. Note that most theses are in Dutch until 2016, as the programme switched to English in 2015. The first MA theses in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage were completed in 2008.

The use of SURFsharekit in faculties   The overview below shows whether your faculty uses SURFsharekit. If your faculty does not use SURFsharekit, you do not need to upload your thesis in SURFsharekit.

* Theses in SURFsharekit will not be made visible to the public for the time being. Theses in SURFsharekit are only visible to support staff of the faculties' education offices. ** At these faculties, students are required to publish their Bachelor's and/or Master's thesis in SURFsharekit.

Instruction manuals Use the SURFsharekit login guide and the manual on uploading your thesis for more information.

Check by the education office The education office of your faculty checks the data you have entered and adds to it if necessary. They then approve the thesis upload in the SURsharekit.

Making modifications As long as your faculty's education office has not yet approved your thesis upload in SURFsharekit, you can still make changes:

1. Go to www.surfsharekit.nl and log in with your VUnetID. 2. You will see the thesis you uploaded. 3. Choose 'edit' and change the information.

Processing student personal data The Personal Data Processing Regulations contain information on processing student personal data. 

Any questions? Do you still have questions? Please contact your faculty's education office .

From 1 July 2023, the old thesis database and the old thesis upload application will no longer be available. Theses from the period 2016-present will be transferred to SURFsharekit. Theses older than 7 years will be destroyed.

I can't log in with my VUnetID.

First check that you have filled in all the details correctly. Still not successful? Take a look at the manual and follow the steps.
