It does not seek to reproduce the layout of a published paper, but instead shows how the standard \LaTeX\ tools can be used to create a manuscript. \end{abstract} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Start the main part of the manuscript here. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Introduction} This is a paragraph of text to fill the introduction of the demonstration file. \section{Results and discussion} \subsection{Outline} The document layout should follow the style of the journal concerned. Consult the appropriate Instructions for Authors to see what is required. Some journals, for example, do not allow sections in articles. \subsection{References} The rsc bibliography style requires the \textsf{natbib} package, which is loaded automatically by the \textsf{rsc} package. References can be made using the normal method; if the \textsf{natmove} package is available, citations can be placed before any punctuation, and they will be moved as necessary \cite{Mena2000,Abernethy2003}. The \textsf{natmove} package is part of the \textsf{achemso} bundle. The use of \textsf{natbib} allows the use of the various citation commands of that package: \citeauthor{Abernethy2003} have shown something, in \citeyear{Cotton1999}, or as given by Ref.~\citenum{Mena2000}. If you encounter problems with the citation macros, please check that your copy of \textsf{natbib} is up to date. Multiple citations to be combined into a list can be given as a single citation. This uses the \textsf{mciteplus} package \cite{Arduengo1992,*Eisenstein2005,*Arduengo1994}. Citations other than the first of the list should be indicated with a star. If the \textsf{mciteplus} package is not installed, the standard bibliography tools will still work but starred references will be ignored. \subsection{Floats} Setting up new float types is demonstrated in the premable, where charts, graphs and schemes are defined. As illustrated, the float is ``here'' if possible (Scheme~\ref{sch:example}). \begin{scheme} \centering Your scheme graphic would go here: \texttt{.eps} format\\ for \LaTeX\, or \texttt{.pdf} (or \texttt{.png}) for pdf\LaTeX\\ \textsc{ChemDraw} files are best saved as \texttt{.eps} files;\\ these can be scaled without loss of quality, and can be\\ converted to \texttt{.pdf} files easily using \texttt{eps2pdf}.\\ %\includegraphics{graphic} \caption{An example scheme} \label{sch:example} \end{scheme} \begin{figure} \centering As well as the standard float types \texttt{table}\\ and \texttt{figure}, the premable defines\\ \texttt{scheme}, \texttt{chart} and \texttt{graph}. \caption{An example figure} \label{fgr:example} \end{figure} Charts, figures and schemes do not necessarily have to be labelled or captioned. However, tables should always have a title. It is possible to include a number and label for a graphic without any title, using an empty argument to the \texttt{\textbackslash caption} macro. The use of the different floating environments is not required, but it is intended to make document preparation easier for authors. In general, you should place your graphics where they make logical sense; the production process will move them if needed. \subsection{Math(s)} This file does not load any particular additional support for mathematics. If the author \emph{needs} things like \textsf{amsmath}, they should be loaded in the preamble. However, the basics should work fine. Some inline material $ y = mx + c$ followed by some display. \[ A = \pi r^2 \] It is possible to label equations in the usual way. \begin{equation} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} r^2 = 2r \end{equation} This can also be used to have equations containing graphical content. \begin{equation} \textrm{Some content} %\includegraphics{graphic} \label{eqn:graphic} \end{equation} \section{Experimental} The usual experimental details should appear here. This could include a table, which can be referenced as Table~\ref{tbl:example}. Do not worry about the appearance of the table: this will be altered during production. \begin{table} \centering \caption{An example table} \label{tbl:example} \begin{tabular}{ll} \hline Header one & Header two \\ \hline Entry one & Entry two \\ Entry three & Entry four \\ Entry five & Entry five \\ Entry seven & Entry eight \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} Adding notes to tables can be complicated. Perhaps the easiest method is to generate these using the basic \texttt{\textbackslash textsuperscript} and \texttt{\textbackslash emph} macros, as illustrated (\ref{tbl:notes}). \begin{table} \caption{A table with notes} \label{tbl:notes} \begin{tabular}{ll} \hline Header one & Header two \\ \hline Entry one\textsuperscript{\emph{a}} & Entry two \\ Entry three\textsuperscript{\emph{b}} & Entry four \\ \hline \end{tabular} \textsuperscript{\emph{a}} Some text; \textsuperscript{\emph{b}} Some more text. \end{table} The example file also loads the \textsf{mhchem} package, so that formulas are easy to input: \texttt{\textbackslash \ce\{H2SO4\}} gives \ce{H2SO4}. See the use in the bibliography file (when using titles in the references section). The use of new commands should be limited to simple things which will not interfere with the production process. For example, \texttt{\textbackslash mycommand} has been defined in this example, to give italic, monospaced text: \mycommand{some text}. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% The appropriate \bibliographystyle and \bibliography commands %% should be placed here. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \bibliographystyle{rsc} \bibliography{rsc} \end{document}
