\begin{sciabstract}
This document presents a number of hints about how to set up your
{\it Science\/} paper in \LaTeX\ . We provide a template file,
\texttt{scifile.tex}, that you can use to set up the \LaTeX\ source
for your article. An example of the style is the special
\texttt{\{sciabstract\}} environment used to set up the abstract you
see here.
\end{sciabstract}
% In setting up this template for *Science* papers, we've used both
% the \section* command and the \paragraph* command for topical
% divisions. Which you use will of course depend on the type of paper
% you're writing. Review Articles tend to have displayed headings, for
% which \section* is more appropriate; Research Articles, when they have
% formal topical divisions at all, tend to signal them with bold text
% that runs into the paragraph, for which \paragraph* is the right
% choice. Either way, use the asterisk (*) modifier, as shown, to
% suppress numbering.
\section*{Introduction}
In this file, we present some tips and sample mark-up to assure your
\LaTeX\ file of the smoothest possible journey from review manuscript
to published {\it Science\/} paper. We focus here particularly on
issues related to style files, citation, and math, tables, and
figures, as those tend to be the biggest sticking points. Please use
the source file for this document, \texttt{scifile.tex}, as a template
for your manuscript, cutting and pasting your content into the file at
the appropriate places.
{\it Science\/}'s publication workflow relies on Microsoft Word97. To
translate \LaTeX\ files into Word97, we use an intermediate MS-DOS
routine \cite{tth} that converts the \TeX\ source into HTML\@. The
routine is generally robust, but it works best if the source document
is clean \LaTeX\ without a significant freight of local macros or
\texttt{.sty} files. Use of the source file \texttt{scifile.tex} as a
template, and calling {\it only\/} the \texttt{.sty} and \texttt{.bst}
files specifically mentioned here, will generate a manuscript that
should be eminently reviewable, and yet will allow your paper to
proceed quickly into our production flow upon acceptance \cite{use2e}.
\section*{Formatting Citations}
Citations can be handled in one of three ways. The most
straightforward (albeit labor-intensive) would be to hardwire your
citations into your \LaTeX\ source, as you would if you were using an
ordinary word processor. Thus, your code might look something like
this:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
However, this record of the solar nebula may have been
partly erased by the complex history of the meteorite
parent bodies, which includes collision-induced shock,
thermal metamorphism, and aqueous alteration
({\it 1, 2, 5--7\/}).
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\noindent Compiled, the last two lines of the code above, of course, would give notecalls in {\it Science\/} style:
\begin{quote}
\ldots thermal metamorphism, and aqueous alteration ({\it 1, 2, 5--7\/}).
\end{quote}
Under the same logic, the author could set up his or her reference list as a simple enumeration,
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
{\bf References and Notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item G. Gamow, {\it The Constitution of Atomic Nuclei
and Radioactivity\/} (Oxford Univ. Press, New York, 1931).
\item W. Heisenberg and W. Pauli, {\it Zeitschr.\ f.\
Physik\/} {\bf 56}, 1 (1929).
\end{enumerate}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\noindent yielding
\begin{quote}
{\bf References and Notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item G. Gamow, {\it The Constitution of Atomic Nuclei and
Radioactivity\/} (Oxford Univ. Press, New York, 1931).
\item W. Heisenberg and W. Pauli, {\it Zeitschr.\ f.\ Physik} {\bf 56},
1 (1929).
\end{enumerate}
\end{quote}
That's not a solution that's likely to appeal to everyone, however ---
especially not to users of B{\small{IB}}\TeX\ \cite{inclme}. If you
are a B{\small{IB}}\TeX\ user, we suggest that you use the
\texttt{Science.bst} bibliography style file and the
\texttt{scicite.sty} package, both of which we are downloadable from our author help site
(http://www.sciencemag.org/about/authors/prep/TeX\_help/). You can also
generate your reference lists by using the list environment
\texttt{\{thebibliography\}} at the end of your source document; here
again, you may find the \texttt{scicite.sty} file useful.
Whether you use B{\small{IB}}\TeX\ or \texttt{\{thebibliography\}}, be
very careful about how you set up your in-text reference calls and
notecalls. In particular, observe the following requirements:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Please follow the style for references outlined at our author
help site and embodied in recent issues of {\it Science}. Each
citation number should refer to a single reference; please do not
concatenate several references under a single number.
\item Please cite your references and notes in text {\it only\/} using
the standard \LaTeX\ \verb+\cite+ command, not another command
driven by outside macros.
\item Please separate multiple citations within a single \verb+\cite+
command using commas only; there should be {\it no space\/}
between reference keynames. That is, if you are citing two
papers whose bibliography keys are \texttt{keyname1} and
\texttt{keyname2}, the in-text cite should read
\verb+\cite{keyname1,keyname2}+, {\it not\/}
\verb+\cite{keyname1, keyname2}+.
\end{enumerate}
\noindent Failure to follow these guidelines could lead
to the omission of the references in an accepted paper when the source
file is translated to Word97 via HTML.
\section*{Handling Math, Tables, and Figures}
Following are a few things to keep in mind in coding equations,
tables, and figures for submission to {\it Science}.
\paragraph*{In-line math.} The utility that we use for converting
from \LaTeX\ to HTML handles in-line math relatively well. It is best
to avoid using built-up fractions in in-line equations, and going for
the more boring ``slash'' presentation whenever possible --- that is,
for \verb+$a/b$+ (which comes out as $a/b$) rather than
\verb+$\frac{a}{b}$+ (which compiles as $\frac{a}{b}$). Likewise,
HTML isn't tooled to handle certain overaccented special characters
in-line; for $\hat{\alpha}$ (coded \verb+$\hat{\alpha}$+), for
example, the HTML translation code will return [\^{}$(\alpha)$].
Don't drive yourself crazy --- but if it's possible to avoid such
constructs, please do so. Please do not code arrays or matrices as
in-line math; display them instead. And please keep your coding as
\TeX-y as possible --- avoid using specialized math macro packages
like \texttt{amstex.sty}.
\paragraph*{Displayed math.} Our HTML converter sets up \TeX\
displayed equations using nested HTML tables. That works well for an
HTML presentation, but Word97 chokes when it comes across a nested
table in an HTML file. We surmount that problem by simply cutting the
displayed equations out of the HTML before it's imported into Word97,
and then replacing them in the Word document using either images or
equations generated by a Word equation editor. Strictly speaking,
this procedure doesn't bear on how you should prepare your manuscript
--- although, for reasons best consigned to a note \cite{nattex}, we'd
prefer that you use native \TeX\ commands within displayed-math
environments, rather than \LaTeX\ sub-environments.
\paragraph*{Tables.} The HTML converter that we use seems to handle
reasonably well simple tables generated using the \LaTeX\
\texttt{\{tabular\}} environment. For very complicated tables, you
may want to consider generating them in a word processing program and
including them as a separate file.
\paragraph*{Figures.} Figure callouts within the text should not be
in the form of \LaTeX\ references, but should simply be typed in ---
that is, \verb+(Fig. 1)+ rather than \verb+\ref{fig1}+. For the
figures themselves, treatment can differ depending on whether the
manuscript is an initial submission or a final revision for acceptance
and publication. For an initial submission and review copy, you can
use the \LaTeX\ \verb+{figure}+ environment and the
\verb+\includegraphics+ command to include your PostScript figures at
the end of the compiled PostScript file. For the final revision,
however, the \verb+{figure}+ environment should {\it not\/} be used;
instead, the figure captions themselves should be typed in as regular
text at the end of the source file (an example is included here), and
the figures should be uploaded separately according to the Art
Department's instructions.
\section*{What to Send In}
What you should send to {\it Science\/} will depend on the stage your manuscript is in:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Important:} If you're sending in the initial submission of
your manuscript (that is, the copy for evaluation and peer review),
please send in {\it only\/} a PostScript or PDF version of the
compiled file (including figures). Please do not send in the \TeX\
source, \texttt{.sty}, \texttt{.bbl}, or other associated files with
your initial submission. (For more information, please see the
instructions at our Web submission site,
http://www.submit2science.org/ .)
\item When the time comes for you to send in your revised final
manuscript (i.e., after peer review), we require that you include
all source files and generated files in your upload. Thus, if the
name of your main source document is \texttt{ltxfile.tex}, you
need to include:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{ltxfile.tex}.
\item \texttt{ltxfile.aux}, the auxilliary file generated by the
compilation.
\item A PostScript file (compiled using \texttt{dvips} or some other
driver) of the \texttt{.dvi} file generated from
\texttt{ltxfile.tex}, or a PDF file distilled from that
PostScript. You do not need to include the actual \texttt{.dvi}
file in your upload.
\item From B{\small{IB}}\TeX\ users, your bibliography (\texttt{.bib})
file, {\it and\/} the generated file \texttt{ltxfile.bbl} created
when you run B{\small{IB}}\TeX.
\item Any additional \texttt{.sty} and \texttt{.bst} files called by
the source code (though, for reasons noted earlier, we {\it
strongly\/} discourage the use of such files beyond those
mentioned in this document).
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
% Your references go at the end of the main text, and before the
% figures. For this document we've used BibTeX, the .bib file
% scibib.bib, and the .bst file Science.bst. The package scicite.sty
% was included to format the reference numbers according to *Science*
% style.
\bibliography{scibib}
\bibliographystyle{Science}
% Following is a new environment, {scilastnote}, that's defined in the
% preamble and that allows authors to add a reference at the end of the
% list that's not signaled in the text; such references are used in
% *Science* for acknowledgments of funding, help, etc.
\begin{scilastnote}
\item We've included in the template file \texttt{scifile.tex} a new
environment, \texttt{\{scilastnote\}}, that generates a numbered final
citation without a corresponding signal in the text. This environment
can be used to generate a final numbered reference containing
acknowledgments, sources of funding, and the like, per {\it Science\/}
style. Along those lines, we'd like to thank readers of this document
for their attention, and invite them to address any questions to
Stewart Wills, at swills@aaas.org.
\end{scilastnote}
% For your review copy (i.e., the file you initially send in for
% evaluation), you can use the {figure} environment and the
% \includegraphics command to stream your figures into the text, placing
% all figures at the end. For the final, revised manuscript for
% acceptance and production, however, PostScript or other graphics
% should not be streamed into your compliled file. Instead, set
% captions as simple paragraphs (with a \noindent tag), setting them
% off from the rest of the text with a \clearpage as shown below, and
% submit figures as separate files according to the Art Department's
% instructions.
\clearpage
\noindent {\bf Fig. 1.} Please do not use figure environments to set
up your figures in the final (post-peer-review) draft, do not include graphics in your
source code, and do not cite figures in the text using \LaTeX\
\verb+\ref+ commands. Instead, simply refer to the figure numbers in
the text per {\it Science\/} style, and include the list of captions at
the end of the document, coded as ordinary paragraphs as shown in the
\texttt{scifile.tex} template file. Your actual figure files should
be submitted separately.
