[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX template for JASIST article

templates

Does any one have a LaTeX template that can be used to prepare a JASIST manuscript?
I wrote to the organization and found that they do not have any template for this. However, if there is a template someone has used already, that would be really useful.

Putting a lot of effort into a template for a journal that does not have a template is most likely not worth while. I assume they accept LaTeX files and so the easiest way for the journal to handle them is if they are as generic as possible. Home made templates may include packages that are or may become outdated or incompatible and may involve home-cooked solutions that are not optimal.

I suggest writing your manuscript in plain LaTeX with the use of as few packages as possible. For references write them in the format of the journal using \begin-\end{bibliography} and \bibitem. You can of course use BibTeX but then you need to make a style file for the journal.

[Tex/LaTex] Recommendations for an academic abstract template

I have almost abused the IFAC conference template by only invoking the abstract part as the following

\documentclass{ifacconf}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}
\title{Analysis of very important things\thanksref{footnoteinfo}} 
\thanks[footnoteinfo]{The author acknowledges the difficulty of publishing results}
\author[First]{Name} 
\address[First]{Return to sender (e-mail: {mr.author@tex.com} )}
\begin{abstract} 
A result that does not use the ``novel" word in its abstract.
\end{abstract}
\end{frontmatter}
\end{document}

You can download the template from here. Hope that it suits your needs.

[Tex/LaTex] Template for a German CV with moderncv

This is not a template, but a way how I did my CV, always successful:

Using a scrlttr2 template for a nice cover letter (Anschreiben)
Using scrartcl for the CV (Lebenslauf)
- For tabular CV tabularx and booktabs (tabellarischer Lebenslauf)
- Defining a macro for CV categories, for easy final adjustments of widths and spacing

Including scans of certificates and testimonials via pdfpages
If you would like to have the same header and footer on all pages as in your cover letter, an easy way would be creating an "empty letter" and including its PDF output by atbegshi or everyshi in the CV or in the attachment with scans.

This way I get a clean tabular CV as I want it, I don't like using a fancy ready-made template. To make it look great, I use LaTeX ;-) and its great extensions like microtype and more, getting letter and CV which look much better than the usual wordprocessor documents.
