This is a LaTeX template meeting the submission requirements for the 2014 International Conference on Information Systems.
For new documents, I'd recommend using the biblatex branch of this repository. I've rewritten the MISQ style using biblatex, which should be more robust, and easier to fix in the future. Plus, biblatex is just cooler.
- Document MUST be compiled with XeLaTeX in order to support the Georgia font family
- You must have the Georgia font installed on the compiling computer
Set \documentclass{icis} and put icis.cls and misq.bst in the directory with
your main LaTeX document. In order to fill the template, you need to set a few
options in your TeX file. These are demonstrated in testdoc.tex.
\researchtype{} % Indicate whether this is Completed Research or Research in Progress
\shorttitle{} % Give this document a short title (8 words or fewer)
\track{} % Indicate which track this will go to.At the end of your document, put the following to place your references section
and use the misq.bst file.
\bibliographystyle{misq}
\bibliography{references}In addition to the usage requirements above, I have a few recommendations to make using this as simple as possible.
- Use Natbib for in-text citations. It lets you do nice things with citations
in an easily understandable way. While I believe the
misq.bstfile will work for biblatex, I've only tested with Natbib. - If you use Natbib, put this in your document head to conform with MISQ style, as in the example LaTeX document:
\usepackage[authoryear,sort]{natbib}
\setcitestyle{aysep={}}To use the Georgia font, you need to install the MS core fonts:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
For some reason, XeLaTeX complains about a line in the cls file:
! Package xkeyval Error:
TeX' undefined in familiesLigatures'.
I replaced:
\setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,TeX}]{Georgia}
with
\setmainfont{Georgia}
and it compiled without problems.
