Bibliographies

If you use LaTeX, you will eventually need to create a bibliography (.bib) file. To make bib files portable within the group, some formatting standards have been implemented for the group.

Bibliography Formatting Guide

The Bibliography Formatting Guide contains the standard formatting guidelines for bib files used in the Li group. Please adhere to these guidelines when creating your bib files.

Li Group Bibliography

The Li Group Bibliography file contains references to papers published in the group from 2005 to the present. It also contains references to Gaussian09 and several versions of GDV. Use this file when referencing Li group papers. Note that you can reference multiple bib files in your tex file, (i.e., \bibliography{Li_Group_References,MyBibFile,etc.}).

Gamelin Group Bibliography

The Gamelin Group Bibliography file contains references to papers published by Daniel R. Gamelin from 1994 to the present. It also contains references to some of his graduate students Ph.D. theses. Use this file when referencing Gamelin group papers. Any papers co-authored by Li and Gamelin are stored in the Li_Group_References.bib file. Note that you can reference multiple bib files in your tex file (i.e., \bibliography{Li_Group_References,Gamelin_Group_References,MyBibFile,etc.}).

Journal Abbreviations

These files are used to convert journal abbreviations in a bib file into the journal short or long name. Place the contents of one of these files at the top of your bib file. For more information on the use of journal abbreviations in your bib files, see the Bibliography Formatting Guide.

Templates

If writing your manuscript in LaTeX, use one of the provided template files. The first file is for a manuscript to be submitted to an ACS journal and makes use of the ACS's achemso package. For any other journal submission, use the second template provided. Both templates call the trkchg package, which is included with this repository.

Packages

LaTeX packages developed by the Li group are provided with this repository. Once you have downloaded and extracted the .zip file, view the README.txt file for installation instructions. The .pdf file included in the folder contains information about the package and how to use the package.

trkchg

The trkchg package provides a set of commands for tracking changes in a LaTeX document. The commands produce easy-to-read markup in the compiled document. The built-in original and final options allow for quick reversal or acceptance of the changes made to the document.
