I am using memoir class for my thesis and I would like some help. Am fairly new to LaTeX but I am not new to programming so I can pick up easily.
I will appreciate some help in pointing me in the right direction. Here is what I want to achieve.
I am using the default memoir style, and I have created a minimal document. In my thesis, all chapters in mainmatter are publications I made to some journals. In the mainmatter then, I want to have a style as follows:
chapternamepage – blankpage – startofchapter
In chapternamepage I want to have Chapter Title as well as information about authors and citation of the publication. I have though of using epigraph for this, is this the right way ?
Secondly, for the TOC entry for each chapter, I want to have the chaptertitle as well as the citation of the publication,
I am using bibliostyle and all the citations above need to follow the same style.
Can someone help me as I start this project ?
