[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX template for a paper to be submitted to the journal “Applied Artificial Intelligence”

templates

I want to submit a paper to the journal "Applied Artificial Intelligence". According to the journal's online instructions for authors
, some of the requirements are:

The main document should be double-spaced as single column text, with
one-inch margins on all sides, and all pages should be numbered
consecutively. Text should appear in 12-point Times New Roman or other
common 12-point font.

Submissions to Applied Artificial Intelligence should follow the style
guidelines described in The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.).
Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed.) should be consulted
for spelling.

References should be cited parenthetically in the text by author
surname(s) and year, in accordance with Chicago Manual of Style
guidelines:

Which one latex template is closer than to this style?

Best Answer

The following should be a good start.

First, create a file called ApplAI.cls, as follows (observe: capitalization is important):

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[2015/01/01]
\ProvidesClass{ApplAI}[2018/02/26]

%% Formatting instructions for "Applied Artificial Intelligence", from
%% http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=uaai20

\ProcessOptions\relax
\LoadClass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage[letterpaper,margin=1in]{geometry}

% Font: Times Roman clone
\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}

\usepackage[nodisplayskipstretch]{setspace}
\doublespacing  % or, possibly, "\setstretch{2.0}"

%% Load the "natbib" citation management package.
\usepackage[authoryear,round]{natbib}
%% Modify appearance of citation call-outs:
\setcitestyle{aysep={}, notesep={, }}
%% Remark: Use "\citep" to create all citation call-outs.

%% Ideally, one would create a bespoke bibliography style. However, 
%% "chicago" may be OK as a starting point.
\bibliographystyle{chicago}

%% Place all floats at very end; tables before figures:
\usepackage[tablesfirst]{endfloat} 

%% Only cross-referenced equations should be numbered:
\usepackage[showonlyrefs]{mathtools}

\endinput

Load this document class via \documentclass{ApplAI} at the start of your main tex file. Next, be sure to load any other packages you may need in the preamble. Do try to employ either little or no visual formatting anywhere in the document.

The main tex file might look like this: 

\documentclass{ApplAI} 

%% Load other packages you may need. E.g.
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% ...
\usepackage[hyphens,spaces,obeyspaces]{url}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}


%% Body of document:
\begin{document}
Hello World.
\end{document}

Some final remarks:

  • The journal's instructions are silent about the appearance of sectioning-level headers. Hence, just use \section, \subsection, etc as you would in any "normal" LaTeX document.

  • Use \eqref to create cross-references to equations.

  • Use only \citep to create citation call-outs. Write \citep[25]{jones:2005} to create a citation call-out of the form (Jones 2005, 25). ("25" is the page number.)
