Document Classes ⇒ Journal Template

[mayankmi]

Can anyone help me to give me suggestions on how to start a journal template from scratch. I need to write a template for Journal since they have not provided me Latex file. The page also includes 2 logo in 1st page. I am not asking anyone to write this but just give me suggestions on where I can find some samples.

Hi,
Try finding on the internet some journal templates. In google try: "Scitepress latex". MSOM Latex is another. Or try Elsevier's template. Mathermatics of Operations Research also has one abbreviated as MOR (type in gooogle: Mathematics Operations Research latex )

Hope this helps!
Good luck.

To questions like this I would actually suggest to use this class or load this package. Lucky that I have two partly solutions in my archive from similar questions in other forums which I only had to merge for this request here. So, let's have a look at how this approach works.

• The title of the document is customized by the titling package. It allows to add the head with the two logos and the announcement of the event.
• Some minor adjustments to the abstract are done by the abstract package (surprise!). The abstract heading is no longer above the abstract itself.
• Multiple authors with corresponding affiliations are facilitated by the authblk package.

The complete template could look like this.

For details about the involved packages please refer to the corresponding manuals.


Remarks:

• The load sequence of titling and authblk is important. Swapping them would let the compilation fail.
• The used image files are available with the mwe package installed in the TeX system.
• The type area (187mm×282mm) mentioned in the screen capture is more than questionable, even on an A4 page.

Thank you very much. I got the starting point now.. I will start working on this template..

I'm having some problem to set the footnotes as specified in the journal. I have attached my code and snapshot of footnote type.

And you couldn't provide a screen capture of the complete first page right at the beginning? This upsets my original concept completely and makes authblk superfluous. At the moment I have no idea how to customize the footnotes produced by \thanks without interfering the footnotes of the document.

[mayankmi]

Yes, i am sorry. I just thought that footnotes can be reset by counter and it will work but I tried and it doesn't work. I didn't provide full snapshot as people may think I want them to make full template. It was so kind of you to provide a very good code for starting work. Yes, some things in this I did in wrong way like abstract I didn't use environment.
