\item[Why should I bother with citations at all?] For two main reasons:
\begin{itemize}
\item You do not have to explain everything in the thesis; instead you send the reader to refer to details in some other literature. Use citations to simplify the detailed explanations.
\item If you describe something that already exists without using a citation, the reviewer may think that you \emph{claim} to have invented it. Expectably, he will demand academic correctness, and, from your perspective, being accused of plagiarism is not a good starting point for a successful defense. Use citations to give the credit to people who invented what you build upon.

\item[How many citations should I use?]
Cite any non-trivial building block or assumption that you use, if it is published in the literature. You do not have to cite trivia, such as the basic definitions taught in the introductory courses.

There are several main commands for inserting citations, used as follows:

\item \citet{knuth1979tex} described a great system for typesetting theses.
\item We are typesetting this thesis with LaTeX, which is based on TeX and Metafont~\cite{knuth1979tex}.
\item TeX was expanded to LaTeX by \citet{lamport1994latex}, hence the name.

\item Consider placing extra commas around any parts of the sentence that break the usual word order, especially if they are longer than a single word.

Do not write long sentences. One sentence should contain exactly one fact. Multiple facts should be grouped in a paragraph to communicate one coherent idea. Paragraphs are grouped in labeled sections for a sole purpose of making the navigation in the thesis easier. Do not use the headings as `names for paragraphs' --- the text should make perfect sense even without all headings removed. If a section of your text contains one paragraph per heading, you might have wanted to write an explicit list instead.

Every noun needs a determiner (`a', `the', `my', `some', \dots); the exceptions to this rule, such as non-adjectivized names and indeterminate plural, are relatively scarce. Without a determiner, a noun can be easily mistaken for something completely different, such as an adjective or a verb.
