LaTeX templates for manuscripts (switchable bioRxiv preprint and journal submission templates), for use on Overleaf.
An ideal manuscript LaTeX template should be able to generate two versions of the manuscript:
- a preprint version - typeset to look like a finished paper
- a journal submission version - better for reviewing, with line numbers and different spacing, etc.
The ideal template should be able to switch between these two manuscript layouts. A preview of both outputs is shown below.
To use, just clone this repo and import into Overleaf or a directory on your own computer to use a local LaTeX installation.
The following files and folders are not required: img
, Examples
, README
.
Write your manuscript in 01_Article_MainText.tex
and then comment either line 2 or 3 of 00_Article_Merge.tex
to select between outputs.
There are optional Supplementary tex files that can also be edited.
If they are not required, comment the appropriate lines in 00_Article_Merge.tex
.
Tested on Overleaf - TeXLive 2020 with pdfLaTeX compiler.
This template was forked from the template created by Henriques lab available here, which is a a modification of the PNAS template (also available on Overleaf) and widely used on bioRxiv. It was then modified by Royle lab (available on github), who made it possible to easily generate a journal submission version. Their changes include:
- genuine bioRxiv logo used in the footer
- support for ORCiDs using
\orcidlink
- Helvetica for readability
- greater range of custom units
- refactored into one single class - thank you to Dominik Straub for his work on this fork.
I further modified the template and adapted it to my needs. Changes include:
biblatex
instead ofnatbib
(easily allows separate bibliographies for supplementary material)
