Papers are formatted using reStructuredText and the compiled version should be no longer than 7 pages, including figures. Here are the steps to produce a paper:
-
Fork the
scipy_proceedings <https://github.com/scipy/scipy_proceedings>__ repository on GitHub. -
Check out the 2013 branch (
git checkout 2013). -
An example paper is provided in
papers/00_vanderwalt. Create a new directorypapers/firstname_surname, copy the example paper into it, and modify to your liking. -
Run
./make_paper.sh papers/firstname_surnameto compile your paper to PDF (requires LaTeX, docutils, Python--see below). The output appears inoutput/firstname_surname/paper.pdf. -
Once you are ready to submit your paper, file a pull request on GitHub. Please ensure that you file against the correct branch--your branch should be named 2013, and the pull-request should be against our 2013 branch.
-
Please do not modify any files outside of your paper directory.
Pull requests are to be submitted by May 19th, but modifications are allowed during the review period until June 14th.
