[Tex/LaTex] Best Latex Template for Informal Paper Revision

templates

I need a LaTeX template for my paper-in-preparation.

To make it easier to revise (note taking, correction etc.) I find the traditional templates such as LNCS not so useful because i) the font size and ii) the line spacing and width.

Could you please suggest a template that makes it way more easier for one to revise papers, technical reports etc? Maybe smaller margins and more line spacing?

Which templates do you find useful?

You don't really need a "template" at all, I'd just keep everything to a minimum and just use article (and perhaps geometry if you want to adjust the margins).

Keeping the requirements basic means it is easy to switch a final version to whatever publisher class you need.

There is no single format for a "scientific paper." It really depends what you're writing. Journal and Conference papers typically have a style mandated by the publisher/organizer.

Material that should go on every page should be placed in the head or foot (\@oddhead typically). One useful trick is to put a \begin{picture}(0,0) environment this will produce a zero sized box but whose contents can spill out over the entire page, and being in the head they will be absolutely positioned. So you can \put the frame (using th epicture mode box commands, or a fancier package) and similarly \put an \includegraphics with the logo at exact coordinates. (Setting \unitlength to 1mm or some other "real world" length unit often helps when measuring this sort of thing unless your design spec is already given in points).

Then for the first page you just want a different style with perhaps a different style box. the "header" section should just be normal body text for LaTeX not set as a part of \@oddhead as it is of unspecified size.

something like this:

\documentclass{article}

\setlength\textwidth{130mm}
\setlength\textheight{190mm}

\makeatletter
\def\@oddhead{%
\setlength\unitlength{1mm}%
\begin{picture}(0,0)%

\put(120,20){\fbox{A LOGO HERE}}%
\put(-10,-200){\framebox(150,200)[tl]{}}%
\end{picture}\hfill}


\makeatother


\begin{document}

\def\x{Stuff goes here. just to fill up the space. }
\def\xx{\x\x\x\x\x\x}
\def\y{%
\xx\par some other text to fill up space. \xx\xx\xx
\xx\par some other text to fill up more space. \xx\xx\xx
\xx\par some other text to fill up space to get more pages. \xx\xx\xx}
