Math & Science ⇒ achemso and document class

[woutervdlinden]

Hello!
I'd like to make my thesis in LaTeX and I like achemso for the formatting of my references. However, I came across some problems and I don't know what is going on (new to LaTeX ).
In trying to figure out what is going on I used a MWE posted earlier here: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... 647#p30647

When I run this MWE using the instructions in that post, I get errors (for example: Package achemso Warning: \bibliographystyle ignored on input line 4.).
I do see the reference in the output file.

In my real thesis file, I would like to specify the document class as

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,twoside,openright]{book}

and use achemso for the references. I load achemso as

Code: Select all

\usepackage[journal=jacsat]{achemso}

I get the same errors as in the MWE above and I do get correct references, but I would like to change the reference style. However, I cannot get this to work. Can I use achemso at all with this kind of document class?
I could supply my thesis files, but since the MWE above already seems to be giving errors, I think I'd first get this to work. Anybody has suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The achemso package does work with a variety of document classes. Please provide a minimal example of what you are doing, or alternatively send me an e-mail containing your thesis (my e-mail address is in the package documentation!).

Hello Joseph,

Thanks for taking time to look at my example. What I would like to achieve is to use the documentclass from the example, and then to be able to use the different reference styles from achemso (via the [journal=...] variable. In my MWE my references are displayed but the style stays the same, no matter what [journal=...] I load (and I get the same errors as I displayed yesterday). I think the style I get now is from the {book} documentclass. I would like my references to be in JACS style, be numbered with 1. (istead of [1]) and have no empty line in between them, ultimately.
