Introduction
Lyx has convenient change tracking features, graphic format conversion, and spell check, making it a nice front end to Latex. Here I have posted a Lyx skeleton file to start a thesis. Most of the preamble settings should work as is so all you need to do is edit the commands in the top level file, and write your thesis in Lyx. Obviously this file comes with no warranties or guarantees.
This Lyx template uses the suthesis-2e.sty style available at http://help-csli.stanford.edu/tex/suthesis/
Lyx thesis template download
A template for use with Lyx is available here: suthesis-lyx.zip . Top level document is thesis_toplevel.lyx. Modify this document with your own information. Default settings are singled sided and 12 pt font. Change these settings in Document->Settings. Change latex options in the preamble section. Add additional suthesis as ERT (evil red text, raw Latex code) in Lyx.
Included as an example are Abstract, Acknowledgements, Chapter1 and Appendix1 sections. Bibliography is included using jos.bib as an example.

Choosing the Page Style
PhDThesisLyX defines 3 different page styles (header and footer). The following definition is for twoside layout.

Choosing the Fonts
PhDThesisLyX currently supports three fonts Times , fourier and Latin Modern (default) .
- times : (The University of Cambridge guidelines recommend using Times). Specifying times option in the document class will use mathptpx or Times font with Math Support.

Nomenclature Definition
- To sort nomenclatures in LyX you can use sort key prefix when entering a new nomenclature entry. In this case a prefix of g is used to denote Greek Symbols, followed by -pi or -sort_key . Use a - to separate sort key from the prefixes.
The standard prefixes defined in this class are:
Authoryear citation (citing within parentheses)
LyX by default doesn't support citep (Author, 2014) and only supports citet Author(2014) citation style. Possible work around is to change the order in which the citation styles are called. This works only in LyX 2.1 (or higher)
