+# PSITheses: A LuaLaTeX Template and Thesis Writing Guide
 
+This repository contains a LaTeX template and a guide for writing a thesis.
+For now, there is only an English version of this template.
+
+Read Chapters 1 and 2 in the Guide for instructions on using the
+template. The Guide contains a lot of concrete recommendations that may
+help you write a compelling scientific thesis. A particular focus is
+on the topic of designing useful figures and tables.
+
+The template has been created mainly for students who want to submit a
+high-quality thesis to the Chair of Privacy and Security in Information
+Systems (PSI) at University of Bamberg (https://www.uni-bamberg.de/psi/).
+The template can also be used for seminar reports and PhD dissertations.
+
+The PSIThesis template and the guide reflect, at least to some degree, the
+personal taste of members of the chair. We encourage our students to use
+the template without any changes. If you \emph{do} have a different opinion
+on a particular aspect of the template or the guide, we will be happy to hear
+you out.
+
+The template and the guide are available under an open license (CC BY SA 4.0). 
+If you want to use the template for a thesis submitted at a different 
+department or organization, feel free to make changes at your discretion.
+Redistribution of the guide and the template is subject to the license (see
+details explained in LICENSE.md and the Guide).
+
+If you wish to contribute to the template or the guide, you may create an Issue or a Pull Request in the GitHub repository.
+
+The PSIThesis template consists of a document class (PSIThesis.cls) and
+additional TeX files. The template is based on the MastersDoctoralThesis
+template, which has been downloaded from
+https://www.latextemplates.com/template/masters-doctoral-thesis.
+
+The thesis guide (guide.pdf) is typeset with the the PSIThesis template.
+The guide demonstrates the features of the template. The source files of
+the guide are contained in this repository. You can refer to the source
+files to see how the template is used in a real-world document.
+
+Note that some of the figures in guide.pdf have been reproduced from the
+literature with permission of the publishers and the authors. As we do not
+have permission to redistribute these figures, they are not contained in
+this repository.
