Guidelines for the preparation of XXXVIII SMP
contributions
for publication in the
"Reports on Mathematical Physics"
General information
-
Papers should not be published or submitted for
publication elsewhere.
-
Papers should preferably be prepared in LaTeX using
romp38.sty style file (cf.
below).
-
The LaTeX source (and a PS or a PDF file for possible
verification) of each contribution
should be submitted to the address
R. Mruga³a
Managing Editor, ROMP
Institute of Physics, N. Copernicus University
Grudziadzka 5
87-100 Toruñ, Poland
e-mail: romp@fizyka.umk.pl
-
PostScript (EPS) is the preferred
format for figures.
-
Bibliography should conform with the ROMP standards (cf.
the file example.tex linked below).
-
Papers will be refereed.
-
The deadline for submission of materials is October 31, 2006.
LaTeX style file
romp38.sty
Using romp38.sty
style file will make your LaTeX output look like a paper in ROMP, hence
it will help you keep within the page limits, preview line breaks, etc.
Here are some more detailed instructions.
-
Download the style file romp38.sty
by clicking the right mouse button and sellecting "Save target as..." in the menu. Save it (named
romp38.sty) in the same directory where your paper LaTeX source file(s) is kept and
processed.
-
Your paper should be prepared in the standard LaTeX
"article" or
"report" style syntax.
romp38.sty
just alters the meaning of typical commands, like \maketitle,
\section,
etc., so there are no new things to learn. Please, study the short exemplary
file
example.tex.
-
romp38.sty works fine with both LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX2E. With LaTeX 2.09 you simply
begin your source file with
\documentstyle[romp38]{article}
...
while with LaTeX2E it should be
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{romp38}
...
-
Do not change any formatting (lengths), numbering or referencing
definitions in the romp38
style. The papers are eventually processed as a single LaTeX job and similar
macro names appearing in different papers cause problems which are often
hard to detect. Therefore, the use of private macros should be reduced
to a necessary minimum; if you use any, please do not forget to include
them in the source of your paper, avoiding short names likely to be repeated,
e.g. "\be" for "\begin{equation}"
or for "\beta". Do not use
local macro packages which are not standard. Discard from your source file any macros not used in this
file.
-
The source file should not contain lines longer than 80 characters.
Also discard from your file any lines commented out by "%". E-mail
system may wrap long lines, possibly altering TeX output. Moreover, since
your file will be reformated by us, short lines will make our work easier.
