PREPARING A MANUSCRIPT FOR SUBMISSION TO ELA

Manuscripts for ELA should be developed using the SIAM LaTeX Macro Package. The manuscript may be in color provided it is equally readable when displayed in black and white. The bibliography style used in ELA is "plain".

The LaTeX macros files can be obtained directly from SIAM, or by clicking here.

The style requested by ELA is given in the following LaTeX example. The pdf version of the example is given here, and the postscript version of the example is given here.

Manuscripts submitted to ELA are compiled in LaTeX and then converted to PostScript and PDF. Currently, a version of the public domain program dvips is being used to make the conversion from *.dvi to PostScript, and then Acrobat Distiller is used to produce PDF documents.

Figures may be produced using LaTeX commands, or they may be produced in PostScript. All manuscripts using PostScript figures must include the LaTeX commands required to incorporate the figure into the manuscript. Please consult the LaTeX example and a LaTeX manual for more information about adding figures to a manuscript.

It is the author's responsibility to see that LaTeX can compile the manuscript and its accompanying PostScript files. However, successful compilation of the manuscript does not guarantee that the resulting *.dvi file can be processed into PostScript by ELA's software. In case of difficulties, it may be necessary for the author to revise or reconstruct the article's PostScript illustrations. Accordingly, authors are advised to save the data and the programs that produced the data until their articles are published. Normally, PostScript files produced by such programs as MATLAB or Maple can be processed without difficulty.
