<h2>2 Requirements</h2>
<h3>2.1</h3>
<p>The BioMed Central TeX template
should work with TeX distributions on any platform - it has been tested with
<a href="http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html">TeXShop</a> on Mac OS
X and <a href="http://www.miktex.org/">MiKTeX</a> for Windows.</p>
<h3>2.2</h3>
<p>In order to submit a manuscript
as a <tt>.tex</tt> file to BioMed Central, you <i>must</i></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li>use the BioMed Central template</li>
<li>format your references with BibTeX using
the </span><tt>bmc-mathphys.bst</tt> style file</li>
<li>not rely on any non-standard macros,
classes or files</li>
</ul>
<p>If your TeX manuscript does not
meet the criteria above it will need to be converted to DVI format prior to
submission.</p>
<h2>3 Guidelines for creating your manuscript using TeX</h2>
<h3>3.1</h3>
<p>Follow the guidelines in the BioMed Central instructions
for authors given at <a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/">http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/</a>.</p>
<h3>3.2</h3>
<p>Make sure your manuscript is compiled with LaTeX2e by using <tt>\documentclass{...}</tt> and not <tt>\documentstyle{...}</tt>
in the preamble at the top of your <tt>.tex </tt> document.</p>
<p>A template manuscript is supplied entitled <tt>bmc_article.tex</tt> which
sets up the preferred page layout based on the standard <tt>article.cls</tt>. Additional styles can be achieved by
<tt>\documenclass</tt> options: <i>doublespacing</i> - for double spaced text, <i>linenumbers</i> - for the line numbers on margins,
<i>twocolumn</i> - for twocolumn layout. Please note that for twocolumn layout <tt>\end{fmbox}</tt> position is different,
comment one after <tt>\end{artnotes}</tt> environment and uncomment one after <tt>\end{abstractbox}</tt> environment.</p>
<h3>3.3</h3>
<p>Make sure that you only a single <tt>.tex </tt> document
for the entire manuscript, as you will need to upload it as a single file (together
with its associated formatted bibliography file). Do not use the <tt>\input</tt> command
to include other <tt>.tex</tt> files.</p>
<h3>3.4</h3>
<p>Additional packages can be used in The BioMed Central template: <i>amsthm</i> and <i>amsmath</i> for
theorems and mathematics respectively, <i>natbib</i> for citation style, <i>hyperref</i> for url references.</p>
<p>See</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/amsthm">http://www.ctan.org/pkg/amsthm</a><br>
<a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/amsmath.sty">http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/amsmath.sty</a><br>
<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib</a><br>
<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref</a>
</p>
<p>for these style files if they are not in your local archive.</p>
<p><i>natbib.sty</i> with <tt>sort&compress</tt> option turns [1,2,3,4] into [1-4].</p>
<p><i>hyperref.sty</i> formats urls so they can be broken down
cleanly when overflowing the right text boundary.</p>
<h2>4 BibTeX</h2>
<p>References <i>must</i> be formatted with BibTeX using
the BioMed Central style file.</p>
<p>I.e. when using the template, do not alter the command: <tt>\bibliographystyle{bmc-mathphys}</tt>.</p>
<p>The bibliography datafile is referred to with <tt>\bibliography{datafile1, ..., ...}</tt>.</p>
<p>The template makes use of a sample bibliography called <tt>bmc_article.bib</tt> -
you should update the <tt>\bibliography</tt> tag to refer to your own bibliography.</p>
<h2>5 Notes on uploading your manuscript</h2>
<h3>5.1</h3>
<p>Make sure you are submitting only one <tt>.tex</tt> document. Please note that figures,
large tables and any other reference material should be submitted as separate files, not embedded in the
manuscript.</p>
<h3>5.2</h3>
<p>A <tt>.bbl</tt> file is generated when you use BibTeX
to format your article's reference list. It contains formatted details of all
references used in the manuscript. After uploading a TeX file to BioMed Central,
you will then be prompted to upload the <tt>.bbl</tt> file which goes with it.</p>
<h2>6 The TeX article layout</h2>
<p>This is the sectioning for a BMC-series Research Article l
manuscript submission . . .<br/>For other types of articles or for non-BMC series journals, see the relevant section headings at <a
href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/">http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/</a>.</p>
