\begin{itemize}
\item {\em Why isn't there the RU logo on the front of the template on Overleaf/Git?}
The official cover for these documents is generated by the Reykjavik University department.
Putting the RU logo on GitHub or Overleaf's templates is incompatible with their licensing rules due to the font surrounding it, so we cannot legally include it.
A cropped version is available at RU Help \url{https://uthelp.refined.site/space/UKB/312279050/Final+Project+%2F+Thesis+%2F+Dissertation+Template}
Take this file and put it into the \path{graphics} folder and the logo should update.
The official source of the logo for print can be found at \url{https://hr.kreatives.is/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/HR_Logo_Colors_2017.pdf}
For Dissertations, see Section~\ref{sec:coverpage} about how to integrate the cover from Communications into your document.
\item {\em How do I use APA citations?}
The template is setup to use IEEE citations by default.
For those who want to use APA, you will need to adjust lines at the top of \path{main.tex}

As mentioned in the Abstract, this template was optimized for the B5 paper size so that it in print copy it has the same size as a standard textbook that fits on a standard bookshelf.
This size also has the benefit of being similar to an e-Reader screen.

\newpage
\begin{abstract}
The goal of this template is to produce electronic output to be uploaded to Skemman that can be later printed out and bound into a professional looking textbook that fits on standard library shelves.
It is important to note that A4 paper when bound requires taller shelf spacing, so the B5 paper format was chosen instead.
When binding a book, the edges that face outward need to be very smooth to reduce contamination and dust from entering the book when it sits on a shelf; this is why traditionally a larger paper size is cut down to the book size.
If your print house expects the stock to be A4, then make sure the rubook has the ``a4paper'' option.
If they prefer to deal with preparation themselves from a B5 pdf, then the default ``b5paper'' option is correct.
In 2019, an attempt was made to unifiy the templates such that it was the same across the Bachelor's ``project report'', Master's ``thesis'', and Doctoral ``dissertation.''
In 2024, the Reykjavik University Library was given the authority and responsibility to determine the formatting of the template which we follow.
To best serve this new direction, the dissertation was moved to a separate file to be printed in B5 and the main template was revised to focus on A4 sized content.
The template is designed to work only with lualatex.
The abstract goes here in English or Icelandic.
