AJP template for LaTeX

Updates to the template for manuscripts for the American Journal of Physics to use BibTeX and include hyperlinks, by Ted Corcovilos (2014). Also, includes configuration file for latexmk to simplify compiling the document and a working .gitignore configuration.

Usage

  1. Edit AJPTemplate.tex with the text of your document.
  2. Edit AJPTemplate.bib to contain BibTeX bibliography entries for the reference of your text.
  3. (Optional) Place figures in the fig folder to preserve them during cleanup.
  4. Compile the document with one of these methods:
    • Manually: run pdflatex AJPTemplate, followed by bibtex AJPTemplate, then two more times pdflatex AJPTemplate.
    • Automagically: run latexmk AJPTemplate (requires latexmk to be installed).
  5. When ready to submit the manuscript, manually copy the contents of the AJPTemplate.bbl file into the place indicated near the end of the AJPTemplate.tex file. Then compile again by running pdflatex AJPTemplate (probably 3 times) or latexmk AJPTemplate. (This final step is a work-around for the submission instructions for AJP: .bbl files are not permitted.)
