How to add a new publication to the page

• Congratulations on your recently accepted paper! If you are reading this then then you must be looking for how to update the cacs publication page to include your work
• Begin the process of uploading the document in pdf format to the papers/ directory of this repo. Visit the directory through this link and click on the the add files button on the top right to upload files. Files can be uploaded by selecting them from your folder or by drag and drop
• After adding your files click on the commit changes button
• Once the files are uploaded you must specify the exact words that will be used to diplay the publication on the page

• The title tag is where you fill out the title of the work
• The author tag is where you fill out all the author names
• The publisher tag is where you fill out the name of the journal
