please consider that you might have to follow a very stricy layout style 
depening on your university, department, lab or supervisor. If your are 
lucky there will be a LaTeX template somewhere at your university. If 
you are unlucky there is nothing like that or even worse only a MS-word 
template.

I'm not sure how good org-mode might be usable in that case. org-mode is 
really great and I try to use it for many purposes. However, for a 
thesis I would use directly LaTeX which gives me a bit more control of 
what is going on.

Furthermore, try biber [1] and biblatex [2]... the somehow next 
generation of bibtex and bib-file compatible. For me they work very well 
already despite of the fact that they are still beta-versions. biblatex 
gives you much more freedom of formatting your citations and 
bibliography... I guess both highly needed in your scientific field.

Good luck

Torsten
