style file osid.sty and exemplary paper
The file osid.sty, which can be downloaded below, is a
provisional LaTeX style imitating that of the OSID journal.
It simply alters the
definitions of a few basic LaTeX macros, like \title, \author,
\maketitle, \section, etc., and page size parameters, making
a paper written in just standard LaTeX article, style
look more or less like an OSID publication. Hence, there are no new things
to learn.
Here are the guidelines on the
use of osid.sty.
- Download the style file
osid.sty by clicking here
the right mouse button and sellecting "Save target as..." in
the menu. Save it (named osid.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 style
syntax. Please, study and process the short exemplary file example.tex
.
- The style works well with
both LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX2e. With LaTeX 2.09 your document starts with
\documentstyle[11pt,osid]{article}
...
while with LaTeX2e it should
be
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{osid}
...
- Do not change any formatting
(lengths), numbering or referencing definitions in the OSID style.
- Papers selected for print in
an issue of OSID are eventually processed as a single LaTeX job and
similar macro names appearing in different papers may 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, in particular do not use Scientific Word. 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 "%". The file will be
reformated by us, and short lines make our work easier.
- In case of any problems or
questions do not hesitate to contact us at osid@fizyka.umk.pl
