Tips and tricks for formatting while submitting to various conferences and journals for LaTeX typesetting only.

arXiv

arXiv is immesely popular as most of the papers are submitted as preprints. Submitting a paper/article can be quite irritating if you're doing it for the first time.

These rules especially are going to discourage you submit your article on arXiv.

1. A PDF file created from a TeX/LaTeX file will be rejected.
2. Bibliography doesn't work with .bib file, you'll need a .bbl file.
3. .tex source with images, bibliography is preferred.

Template:

Anything is fine as long they compile.

Quickstart

Create Locally

• Create your document, eg. chickenregression.tex in a folder, say arxiv priori
• Add all images, chickenregression.bib file, anything extra such as .sty into this folder, arxiv priori.
• Run pdflatex chickenregression.tex once. This won't generate table of contents, etc but will give you .aux, .toc, etc
• Run bibtex chickenregression.bib, once. This will generate the coveted, .bbl file.
• Run pdflatex chickenregression.tex twice.

Done, your PDF is ready.

Submit to arXiv

• Upload ONLY chickenregression.tex, accompanying figures, prefarable in .png/.jpg and chickenregression.bbl. The name of bibliography (.bbl) and article (.tex) need to be same!
• Submit! Follow the steps to check and fill the metadata.

That's all.

Caveats:

• For pdflatex processing by set the flag \pdfoutput=1 within the first 5 lines of the preamble of the main .tex file to ensure it works fine.

Computer Science Conferences/Journals

IEEE Transaction

Template:

Template Download

Quickstart

• Use default IEEEtran.cls class file and copy it in the same directory as your draft .tex file.
• Use \documentclass[conference, a4paper]{IEEEtran} or \documentclass[journal, a4paper]{IEEEtran} as the first line of your LaTeX file.
• Fill your names in \author sections.
• Make a copy and edit HOW-TO barebones example inside the template.

That's it!

Bibliography

Bibliography is sorta weird in this and was also the reason I made this repository.

Here's the no frills quickstarter.

• Get your citations/bibliography and put everything inside sample.bib file.

Eg, sample.bib

@article{sample,
 author = {sudoankit},
 title = {Academic Formats},
 journal = {Self Pubs},
 issue_date = {July 2018},
 volume = {1},
 number = {1},
 month = jul,
 year = {2018},
 issn = {0001-0002},
 pages = {1-2},
 numpages = {3},
 url = {sudoankit.xyz},
 doi = {root of i},
 acmid = {3.14},
 publisher = {bicycle},
 address = {India},
}

• Copy this .bib file to your working directory.
• If you haven't already/ if it's not already present add usepackage{cite}.
• Next, at the end ( where you want your bibliography to be) add

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{sample}

Note:

The IEEEtran package provides these styles:

• IEEEtran: the standard, default IEEEtran BibTeX style file. Just use this.
• IEEEtranS: IEEEtran + sorting the entries. Normally NOT used.
• IEEEtranSA: IEEEtranS + alphanumeric citations tags.
• IEEEtranN: like IEEEtran but based on plainmat. Also compatible with natbib.
• IEEEtranSN: IEEEtranN + sorting

Q. Confused what to use?

A: IEEEtran
