% Thesis Content
%****************************************************
\mainmatter

%Each chapter is a separate .tex file. Use \input to load them here, as demonstrated below for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
%We recommend keeping each in a separate subfolder, with its accompanying figures, etc. This is how the template is currently structured.
%If you wish to divide your thesis into parts (each containing multiple chapters), us the \part{} command.

%CHAPTER 1
\input{./Chapter1/Introduction.tex}

%CHAPTER 2
\input{./Chapter2/Chapter2.tex}

% HOW TO ADD ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS
% Step One: Add a new folder called "ChapterX" (X being the chapter number).
% Step Two: Within the folder add a new .tex file by clicking the "New File" button in the Overleaf Menu. Rename the file to a title of your choice.
% Step Three: Copy the Chapter 2 headline and "\input" command located above and insert it below Chapter 2.
% Step Four: Rename the headline to your specific chapter number, change the input command to include the name of the folder you created and the name of the file you created.
% Repeat this process for every chapter.

%CONCLUSION CHAPTER

% ***************************************************
% Bibliography
%****************************************************
%CHOOSE YOUR BIB STYLE AND FILE.
%We have included the following two referencing styles for you to use in your thesis. You can add an alternate style if you prefer.

%Style: apalike = this is an (Author, Year) referencing style similar to APA
%Style: elsarticle-num = this is a numbered referencing style that will display the bibliography in citation order

%To use one of the styles provided ensure the % is removed from the start of the line, and the other option is commented out with a % at the start of the line. The style elsarticle-num is active by default.

%\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num}

\bibliography{./References/Bibliography}

%When you have finished your thesis we recommend that you manually fix any errors in your bibliography. 
%To do this, compile, copy the .bbl into a new .tex file and include this here after commenting out the other bibliography commands. Make corrections in that .tex file.

% ***************************************************
% Appendices
%**************************************************** 
%UNCOMMENT THIS SECTION IF YOU ARE USING APPENDICES.
%Simply adapt the same formatting used for other chapters.
\appendix
% If you need appendix in your thesis then consider the following appendix file (you can add more if you need more) otherwise you should not consider it in your main thesis.
