+# Cover page for scientific works
+
+[![Build Status](https://circleci.com/gh/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/tree/master.svg?style=shield)](https://circleci.com/gh/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/)
+
+
+Institutions require a cover page and an affirmation at the end of the thesis.
+This work provides both.
+It stems from the [computer science institutes of the University of Stuttgart], but is open to any university.
+
+In case you are looking for a **full thesis template** including a cover page and affirmation, please go to <https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-template>.
+Please report issues concerning this package at the GitHub repository at <https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover>.
+
+## Features
+
+- utf8 
+- options for all required text on the coverpage
+
+## Installation
+
+- Download `scientific-thesis-cover.sty`
+
+## Usage Example
+
+An example can be found in [tests/TEST_english_oneside.tex](tests/TEST_english_oneside.tex).
+
+## Usage 
+
+Just include the package with all options specified:
+
+    \usepackage[
+        title={Super relevant evaluation of new blackhole-generation method},
+        author={Max Musterjunge},
+        type=bachelor,
+        institute=iaas,
+        course=cs,
+        examiner={Prof.\ Dr.\ Hans Mustermann},
+        supervisor={Otto Normalverbraucher, M.Sc.},
+        startdate={2012-06-01},
+        enddate={2012-12-01},
+        language=english
+    ]{scientific-thesis-cover}
+
+Afterwards you can create the cover using `\Coverpage` and get the affirmation text by using `\Affirmation`
+
+## Supported Options
+
+This package supports the following options:
+
+- language: Language used for all labels and text.
+    - `language=german` will use german (default)
+    - `language=english` will use english
+
+- title: Title of work. Should be placed in curly braces:
+
+    - `title={My thesis title}`
+    - `title={My very long thesis title}`
+
+- author: Author of work. Should be placed in curly braces. May contain more than one author seperated by commas:
+    - `author={Peter Lustig}`
+    - `author={Peter Lustig, Franz Josef, Vladimir Sixth}`
+
+- type: Type of work. May be set to one of the following values or arbitrary text in curly braces:
+    - `type=bachelor` will label your work as Bachelor's Thesis.
+      Currently, the term regulations of the University of Stuttgart are in place.
+      It is assumed that you study a German Bachelor program.
+      Thus, even if you write in English, the type of your thesis is a "Bachelorarbeit".
+      In case you study in a different program (such as [INFOTECH]), please fill in the appropriate type of your thesis in curly brackets.
+      See below.
+    - `type=master` will label your work as Masters's Thesis
+    - `type=diplom` will label your work as Diploma Thesis
+    - `type=study` will label your work as Student Research Project
+    - `type=projectinf` will label your work as Projekt-INF
+    - Arbitrary strings are also possible: `type={research project}` will label your work as "research project"
+    
+- institute: States for which institute you are doing this work. May be set to one of the following values or arbitrary text in curly braces:
+    - `institute=iaas` will state Institute of Architecture of Application Systems
+    - `institute=ipvs` will state Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems
+    - `institute=fmi` will state Institute of Formal Methods in Computer Science
+    - `institute=iste` will state Institute of Software Technology
+    - `institute=iti` will state Institute of Computer Architecture and Computer Engineering
+    - `institute=iris` will state Institute of Computer-aided Product Development Systems
+    - `institute=vis` will state Institute of Visualization and Interactive Systems
+    - `institute=visus` will state Visualisation Research Center Stuttgart
+    - `institute=sec` will state Institute of Information Security
+    - `institute=fac` will state Faculty of Computer Science
+    - Arbitrary strings are possible: `institute={Custom fictional institute}` will state Custom fictional institute
+
+- course: Type of study. May be set to one of the following values or arbitrary text in curly braces:
+    - `course=cs` will state that your course of study is Computer Science
+    - `course=se` will state that your course of study is Software Engineering
+    - `course=mcl` will state that your course of study is Master Computational Linguistics
+    - `course=msv` will state that your course of study is Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung
+    - `course=bis` will state that your course of study is Business Information Systems
+    - `course=simtech` will state that your course of study is Simulation Technology
+    - Arbitrary strings are possible: `course={New Study course}` will state that your course of study is New Study course
+
+- examiner: Your examiner. 
+    - `examiner={Prof.\ Dr.\ Hans Mustermann}`
+
+- supervisor: Your supervisor.
+    - `supervisor={Otto Normalverbraucher, M.Sc.}`

+    - `startdate={2012-06-01}`
+
+- enddate: Enddate of your work.
+    - `enddate={2012-12-01}`
+
+- crk: CR-Classification codes of your work. May be separated by commas:
+    - `crk={A.1, A.2}`
+
+## Additional Optional Options
+
+- number: Running number of work. May contain arbitrary text. Should contain the number you got for your work.
+    - `number=1234` will label your work to have number 1234
+- `setPageNumberToOne=true` will set the page after the cover to `1` (default false)
+- `setCoverPageNumberToMinusOne=true` will set `-1` as the page number for the cover page (default false)
+
+## Known Problems
+
+Multiline/Commands in option values are currently only supported if you load `kvoptions-patch` **before** the documentclass definition like this:
+
+    \RequirePackage{kvoptions-patch}
+    \documentclass[twoside]{article}
+
+## How to release
+
+1. Adapt `CHANGELOG.md`
+2. Adapt version and date in `scientific-thesis-cover.sty`
+3. Tag the release commit using `git tag`
+4. Push to GitHub
+5. Add CHANGELOG part to GitHub release manually, because [github-release-from-changelog](https://github.com/MoOx/github-release-from-changelog) currently works with `package.json`  only.
+6. Publish to CTAN
+  - Windows: Patch `C:\MiKTeX\scripts\ctanify\ctanify`: Remove `-y` from `zip` command line arguments `zip -q -r -9 -y -m`.
+  - Run `pdflatex demo`
+  - Run `perl "C:\MiKTeX\scripts\ctanify\ctanify" README.md scientific-thesis-cover.sty demo.pdf`
+  - Go to <https://www.ctan.org/upload> and use `scientific-thesis-cover.tar.gz` as archive.
