+%   The Scientific Paper Package for LaTeX

+%   By Ryan Aycock 

+%   For use with LaTeX and pdfLaTeX

+%   March 26, 2004

+%

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

+

+LaTeX has long been known as a convenient tool for writing scientific papers.  

+Much to my surprise, however, there are no packages on CTAN that actually format 

+scientific papers easily.  The effort seeks to correct that problem by giving 

+users a simple-to-use method for distributing their work.  Notice, this package 

+is not based on any particular style guide.  It will only create a generic, two 

+column paper with a single column abstract at the top.

+

+THIS PACKAGE REQUIRES THE MULTICOL PACKAGE (included).

+

+To write your own scientific papers, use the template below:

+

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

+

+\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}

+\usepackage{science}

+

+\title{Ultra Cool Title}

+\author{Your Name}

+\date{the date}  % Can use \today

+

+\begin{document}

+\maketitle

+

+\begin{abstract}

+Type your abstract here.

+\end{abstract}

+

+\begin{body}

+

+Type your paper as normal.  Use \cite{} for your citations.

+

+\begin{bib}

+

+Put your bibliography here.  Use \bibitem{} for

+each of the citations used in your paper.

+

+\end{bib}

+

+\end{body}

+\end{document}

+

+

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

+

+Some final notes:

+

+To list more than one author or to list schools and contact information, use

+

+\author{First author's name$^{1}$\thanks{Contact information}, % Notice the comma and space

+Second author$^{2}$\\

+$^{1}$\textit{First university}\\

+$^{2}$\textit{Second university}}

+

+

+

+

+Floating environments such as figures or tables are forbidden in the multicol environment.  

+To get around this limitation, you have two options when including a figure or table:

+

+use \begin{figurehere}... \end{figurehere} and \begin{tablehere}... \end{tablehere} 

+to place a float in the two column format (right here).

+Or you can use \begin{figure*} \begin{table*}.  These commands will span your float 

+body across the page, usually at the top --- best for large images and tables.

+

+

+

+Finally, the bibliography uses the default LaTeX thebibliography feature.  If you want to 

+use BibTeX or have more than 99 sources, you will need to edit the package.

+

+

+

+To learn LaTeX, start with "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX" by Tobias Oetiker.  It 

+is available online at CTAN:/tex-archive/info/lshort .  Or you can search Google for any results.

+

+If you have any more questions --- about the package, not about LaTeX --- write to me at 

+aycock@phys.ufl.edu

+%   The Scientific Paper Package for LaTeX

+%   By Ryan Aycock March 26, 2004

+%   

+%    For use with LaTeX pdflatex.

+%

+% YOU MUST HAVE THE MULTICOL PACKAGE

+%

+% This package will allow you to write generic scientific papers with two column text

+% and a single column, centered abstract.  this format is not based on any published

+% style guide and should modified as needed.

+%

+% To use, simply build your document with this template:

+%

+% \documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}

+% \usepackage{science}

+% \title{Ultra Cool Title}

+% \author{Your Name}

+% \date{the date}  % Can use \today

+% \begin{document}

+% \maketitle

+% \begin{abstract}

+% Type your abstract here.

+% \end{abstract}

+% \begin{body}

+% Type your paper as normal.  Use \cite{} for your citations.

+% \begin{bib}

+% Put your bibliography here.  Use \bibitem{} for

+% each of the citations used in your paper.

+% \end{bib}

+% \end{body}

+% \end{document}

+%

+%

+% If you have more than one author or wish to list your school and contact 

+% information, use the following:

+%

+% \author{First author's name$^{1}$\thanks{Contact information}, 

+% Second author$^{2}$\\

+% $^{1}$\textit{First university}\\

+% $^{2}$\textit{Second university}}

+%

+%

+%

+% Floating environments such as figures or tables are

+% forbidden in the multicol environment.  To get around

+% this limitation, you have two options when including

+% a figure or table:

+%

+% use \begin{figurehere}... \end{figurehere}

+% and \begin{tablehere}... \end{tablehere}

+% to place a float in the two column format (right here).

+% Or you can use \begin{figure*} \begin{table*}.  These

+% commands will span your float body across the page, usually

+% at the top --- best for large images and tables.

+%

+%

+% If you have any questions about how \cite and \bibitem work, consult

+% the "Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX."

+%

+% Note: The bibliography assumes that you are using LaTeX's build-in

+% bibliography and not BibTeX or another package.  Also, this package

+% assumes that you will have less than 99 sources.  If you should use more,

+% you will have to edit the bib environment.
