This may be useful, for example, in the case that you wish to publish part of your thesis as a journal article without major changes. \end{abstract} \section{Introduction} If you wish to write this report in German you should replace the specification \begin{verbatim} \documentclass[english, twocolumn]{hgbarticle} \end{verbatim} at the top of this document by \begin{verbatim} \documentclass[german, twocolumn]{hgbarticle} \end{verbatim} % Remove the \texttt{twocolumn} option for a single-column layout. For simplified quotations use the \texttt{smartquotes} document option. Also note that the top sectioning command available in the \texttt{article} class is \verb!\section{}!, i.e., there are \textbf{no chapters}! When converting a thesis you thus need to \emph{demote} all chapter commands to sections, sections to subsections etc. \subsection{Mathematical elements} This document is typeset in the typical two-column format required by many scientific journals. Unfortunately, the narrow text width often creates problems with mathematical structures \cite{Voss2014}. While smaller equations like % \begin{equation} \bar{\mathbf{M}} = \begin{pmatrix} A \ast H^{G}_{\sigma} & C \ast H^{G}_{\sigma} \\ C \ast H^{G}_{\sigma} & B \ast H^{G}_{\sigma} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \bar{A} & \bar{C} \\ \bar{C} & \bar{B} \end{pmatrix} \end{equation} % may fit without any modification, larger structures like the one shown in Equation \ref{wideEquation} need special treatment. % \begin{figure*}[t] \begin{equation} \begin{split} \lambda_{1,2} &= \frac{\mathrm{tr}(\bar{\mathbf{M}})}{2} \pm \sqrt{\Bigl(\frac{\mathrm{tr}(\bar{\mathbf{M}})}{2}\Bigr)^2 - \mathrm{det}(\bar{\mathbf{M}})} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left( \bar{A} + \bar{B} \pm \sqrt{\bar{A}^2 - 2 \cdot \bar{A} \cdot \bar{B} + \bar{B}^2 + 4 \cdot \bar{C}^2} \right) , \end{split} \label{wideEquation} \end{equation} \end{figure*} % In this case, the equation was wrapped into a \verb!\begin{figure*}! \ldots \verb!\end{figure*}! environment, which produces an unnumbered float object that extends across the full page width. Additional details can be found in the source text. \subsection{Graphics and images} Similarly, the horizontal space available for graphical elements is the width of a single column. Thus elements inserted with \verb!\includegraphics{..}! should use the length \verb!\columnwidth! for scaling. An example is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:CocaCola} (see the source text for details). \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth]{cola-public-domain-photo-p} \caption{Coca-Cola advertisement photographed in 1940 \cite{CocaCola1940}.} \label{fig:CocaCola} \end{figure} An by the way, the \texttt{lipsum} package was used to create the following dummy texts. \subsection{Bibliography} The use of citations and the compilation of the bibliography works much the same as in the thesis template. The only difference is that \verb!\printbibliography! is used directly at the end of the document. \section{Existing techniques} \lipsum[2-4] \section{Our radically new approach} \lipsum[5-7] \section{Summary and conclusion} \lipsum[8-9] %%%---------------------------------------------------------- \printbibliography % alternatively: \MakeBibliography[nosplit] %%%---------------------------------------------------------- \end{document}
