** jss: A Document Class for Publications in the **
** Journal of Statistical Software **
***************************************************
This zip-archive contains the pdfLaTeX infrastructure for
publications in the Journal of Statistical Software. The files
- jss.cls (LaTeX2e class)
- jss.bst (BibTeX style)
- jsslogo.jpg (JPG logo)
need to be included in your search path (local working directory,
texmf or localtexmf tree).
A manual how to use jss.cls is provided in
- jss.pdf.
Furthermore, there are templates for articles, code snippets, book
reviews and software reviews available in
- article.tex
- codesnippet.tex
- bookreview.tex
- softwarereview.tex
JSS papers should be prepared using JSS styles; the submission of
the final version needs to include the full sources (.tex, .bib, and
all graphics). A quick check for the most important aspects of the
JSS style is given below; authors should make sure that all of them
are addressed in the final version:
- The manuscript can be compiled by pdfLaTeX.
- \proglang, \pkg and \code have been used for highlighting
throughout the paper (including titles and references), except
where explicitly escaped.
- References are provided in a .bib BibTeX database and included
in the text by \cite, \citep, \citet, etc.
- Titles and headers are formatted as described in the JSS manual:
- \title in title style,
- \section etc. in sentence style,
- all titles in the BibTeX file in title style.
- Figures, tables and equations are marked with a \label and
referred to by \ref, e.g., "Figure~\ref{...}".
- Software packes are \cite{}d properly.
For more details, see the style FAQ at http://www.jstatsoft.org/style
and the manual jss.pdf, in particular the style checklist in
Section 2.1.
