A chapter someone can read
Turn notes into an outline and a draft inside the file. You keep the claim. Bibby helps with the sentences around it.
Master’s students
Your master’s thesis is due this term. The formatting should not be.
A master’s is a short degree, and the thesis or course project is often the first research document a supervisor will grade. Bibby helps you write the chapter, cite the papers, and compile, while you keep the argument.
Start your master’s thesis freeThe supervisor asked for a chapter.
The course still has its own deadlines. The literature section, the bibliography, and the LaTeX file are new. None of that is the research question.
A master’s is one or two years, not a long funding clock. The document has to be readable this term. Bibby is the editor for that document: a chapter, the citations, and a compile you can hand to a supervisor.
What to finish
Citations that compile
Search for a paper or take it from Zotero or EndNote, insert the BibTeX entry, and cite it. You read the source before it stays.
A template, not a blank file
Start from a thesis template, or from the conference or journal template the course named. Then compile.
Your supervisor comments in the same project
Send the project, not a new PDF for every round. The comments sit on the chapter. You still own the revision.
How to hand in a readable master’s chapter
Open a template, draft the chapter your supervisor asked for, add citations you have checked, and compile before you send it.
01
Open a template, not a blank file
Start from a thesis template, or from the venue template the course named.
02
Draft the chapter that was asked for
Ask Bibby to outline or draft that chapter from your notes. You rewrite anything that is not your claim.
03
Add citations that compile
Insert BibTeX and cite it in the paragraph. Read the paper before you keep the sentence.
04
Compile, then send the project
Fix the error Bibby explains, compile again, and let your supervisor comment in the same project.
Questions
- Is this for a course project or a thesis?
- Either. Open a thesis template for a long chapter, or a conference or journal template if the course asks for a paper. The supervisor still sets the format you must hand in.
- I have not used LaTeX or BibTeX before. Can I start here?
- Yes. You can draft a section in the editor, insert a BibTeX entry from a search or from Zotero or EndNote, and read a compile error in plain language. You still check every citation.
- Can my supervisor comment on the chapter?
- Yes. The chapter and the comments stay in one project.
- What does the free plan include?
- Free includes 2 projects and 30 compiles. Research Pro is $16 a month, or $14 a month billed annually.
Hand in the chapter. Keep the argument.
Bibby does not write the thesis for you, and it does not set your grade.
