Hi,

excuseme if I disturb you a little. I have to format an article for
Journal of Physical Chemistry B with Latex (Texcnicenter as editor) and
I'm not able to do that. I have read J. Wright's guide, but I'm not able to
understand how I have to write the principal commands in the main tex
file.

In particular:

1) for the affiliation which command I have to use?

2) which is the good command sequance at the head of the article.tex file?

3) in the references the compiler print also the cite name and put no
parentesis like ( around the citation number.

4) I'm desperate

Please, have you a file.tex as template to see which commands I have to use and in which sequence?

I'm worried about the possibility of translate my paper in word If I not solve the problem !!!

thanking you in advance

gian

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{SampleBib.bib}
@article{article_label,
author    = { Firstname I. {Surname} and Firstname I. {Surname}},
title     = "Title of article",
journal   = {Journal of Publication},
year      = 2007,
month     = may,
volume    = 1,
issue     = 1,
pages     = {1-2}
};
@book{book_label,
author    = { Firstname I. {Surname} and Firstname I. {Surname} },
title     = "Title of Book",
edition   = "1",
publisher = "Publishing House",
address   = "Address of Publishing House",
year      = "2007"
};
\end{filecontents}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{achemso}
\begin{document}
\title{A sample document}
\maketitle
\section{A section}
As mentioned in the article of Reference~\cite{article_label} and the book of Reference~\cite{book_label}. 

\bibliographystyle{achemso}
\bibliography{SampleBib}
\end{document}

The achemso package is for formatting the bibliography. For formatting the manuscript for submission to that particular journal, I am not sure what style file you should use. I had a quick look at the ACS Paragon System but could not see any LaTeX template. Do you know of a LaTeX document template?


Edit: I had forgotten to put \usepackage{achemso} in the preamble.

.....thank you , I'll try and I'll let you know.

But for the affiliations (the author addresses) which command could I use???

nothing is accepted.

many thanks

It seems you haven't done yet very much reading about LaTeX. I had a look at the templates given in the Paragon System of the ACS and I can't really figure out how such an article should look like. If you could post a sample document it could be very helpful. Until then you can try an example with the SampleBib given by pumpkinegan.

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{SampleBib.bib}
  …
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[bindingoffset=1cm,left=2cm,top=2cm,right=2cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry}     % Page geometry
\usepackage[notsuper]{achemso}                                     % Forming the article
\usepackage{libertine}                                             % A nice prostscript font
\usepackage{blindtext}                                             % Generate longer text passages

\author{glamura}
\title{A Test for the \texttt{\bfseries achemso} Package}
\date{July 31\textsuperscript{st} 2007}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  \begin{abstract}
    \blindtext\cite{texbook}
  \end{abstract}
  \section{First Section}\label{sec:first}
    \blindtext

  \section{Second Section}\label{sec:second}
    \blindtext
% \bibliographystyle{achemso}
  \bibliography{testbib}
\end{document}

The blindtext package is only for demonstration purposes. For a full title you have to give the title, author and date of the article.

...if you give to me your e-mail address I can send to you an example.

many thanks

That's not necessary. Is there no address for public download? Just put the sample file in PDF format into an attachment here. The file can't be so large not to fit. So everybody can take a look. Otherwise split it into several parts.

... thanks to your suggestion and in particular to the help of a collegue, we would like to put in the web these two files for compiling in latex in ACHEMSO style.

1) achemso.sty is the original library modified by my collegue to follow the biblio style of JPC.

2) the second, is just a template that could be useful.

I couldn't find any modifications made to achemso.sty. What modifications were supposed to have been made?
This still results in @inbook entries being cited:
[1] Author, A. B. Great Book. In , Vol. 33; Editor, C. D., Ed.; Joe Publisher:
Toronto, ON, 2007; Chapter 3, pages 2–99.

Rather than: In Great Book, as it should be.
