manuscript-templates

LaTeX templates for manuscripts (switchable bioRxiv preprint and journal submission templates), for use on Overleaf.

Basic idea

An ideal manuscript LaTeX template should be able to generate two versions of the manuscript:

1. a preprint version - typeset to look like a finished paper
2. a journal submission version - better for reviewing, with line numbers and different spacing, etc.

The ideal template should be able to switch between these two manuscript layouts. A preview of both outputs is shown below.

Use

To use, just clone this repo and import into Overleaf or a directory on your own computer to use a local LaTeX installation. You do not require the following files and folders: img, Examples, README.

Writing your manuscript in 01_Article_MainText.tex and then comment line 2 or 3 of 00_Article_Merge.tex to select between outputs. There are optional Supplementary tex files that can also be edited. If they are not required, comment the lines in 00_Article_Merge.tex.

Contributions

The initial overleaf template was forked from the template created by Henriques lab available here. This is a modification of the PNAS template which is also available on Overleaf. We made a few changes to the HenriquesLab bioRxiv template and made it possible to easily generate a journal submission version.

What do they look like?
