General ⇒ Help on adding keywords to a latex paper

[shantoos]

Hey I am submitting an ICASSP paper and they require a Keyword section, I wonder how I can add my keywords under a separate section after the abstract, I'd appreciate your early replies as today is my deadline!

[spiegboy]

{\bf Keywords:} keyword A, keyword B,...

[shantoos]

worked like a charm, thanks

I tried \begin{Keywords} .... \end{Keywords} but it failed, do you have any idea why? maybe it wasn't supported in .sty file? sorry for nooob questions!

I suggest to take a look at the Template section of the ICASSP web site [1]. There you can find the source code (Template.tex) as well as a BibTeX style file and a demo PDF file showing the final output. From the source you can see how keywords are inserted. The list of keywords is produced by the keywords environment (be aware of case sensitivity!). The keyword list will appear in the final output right after the abstract starting with "Index Terms".

hello, here's what i get:

Environment keywords undefined. \begin{keywords} ...

in what package is keywords defined? spconf?

thanks.

ps: also need help with \classification (what package?)

[...] Environment keywords undefined. \begin{keywords} ...

in what package is keywords defined? [...]

The keywords environment is defined within spconf.sty that is included into the template file. I can compile the mentioned file Template.tex when placing the file spconf.sty (and the other files) in the same directory. And I don't get any errors. To clarify this issue, create a minimal working example (MWE) or use Template.tex and attach the log file of your compilation process to your next reply.

Thank You.

Yes, it works by adding spconf to the current directory. However,
1) it does not work if I put spconf in the $BSTINPUTS directory alone.
2) spconf completely overrides the layout of documentclass{article}. in particular, there are now two columns.
3) and how about AMS classification?

Regarding 2) I ommit usepackage{spconf} and I just copy pasted the definition of keywords in spconf and put (with modifications) in the preamble:

\def\keywords{\vspace{.5em}
{\textit{Keywords}:\,\relax%
}}
\def\endkeywords{\par}

1) it does not work if I put spconf in the $BSTINPUTS directory alone.

Putting *.sty files into the BibTeX input directory makes no sense since this kind of files are "packages" and have to be put into the texmf tree as usual.

2) spconf completely overrides the layout of documentclass{article}. in particular, there are now two columns.

Submitting a paper to the ICASSP may demand the usage of this package. It is not provided in vain and guarantees that all prerequisites regarding the layout are fulfilled.

3) and how about AMS classification?

What do you mean with "classification" in this context? Be more precise.
