There is, however, no rule against using ``Computer +Modern'' or some other font, and in fact ``Paladino'' was originally intended +for headings only when it was designed (fun fact). + +Some writers of theses end up bundling multiple published papers into a thesis, +especially in the case of PhD candidates. \texttt{chapterbib} allows for +separate bibliographies for each chapter, which is the most appropriate format +given this bundled-paper style of thesis.
