authorarchive
A LaTeX style for producing author self-archiving copies of (academic) papers.
Installation
Copy authorarchive.sty
in a directory that is searched by LaTeX
(e.g,. either your texmf
tree or the local directory with your main
LaTeX file.
Usage
A simple use for LNCS-formatted papers is as follows:
\usepackage[LNCS,
key=brucker-authorarchive-2016,
year=2016,
publication={Anonymous et al. (eds). Proceedings of the International
Conference on LaTeX-Hacks, LNCS~42. Some Publisher, 2016.}
startpage={42},
doi={00/00_00},
doiText={0/00\_00},
nocopyright
]{authorarchive}
The following layout-styles are pre-defined:
ACM
for the two-column layout used by many ACM conferencesIEEE
for the two-column layout used by many IEEE conferencesLNCS
for the LNCS layout (as used by Springer)LNI
for the Lecture Notes in Informatics, published by the GIENTCS
for the Elsevier ENTCS layout
By re-defining the font command (authorcrfont{}
) and the command that is
used for positioning the copyright text (\authorat{}
), the package can
be adapted easily to other layouts. For example,
\renewcommand{\authorcrfont}{\scriptsize}
\renewcommand{\authorat}[1]{\put(25,56.5){#1}}
works nicely for Acta Informatica.
Boolean Switches
Switch | Meaning |
---|---|
nocopyright |
If present, no publisher's copyright notice is printed. Usual case for LNCS. |
nourl |
If present, no link to the publication is inserted. |
nobib |
If present, no embedding of bibliographic entries is made. |
Key/Value Options
Option | Default | Meaning |
---|---|---|
bibtexdir |
. |
The directory where the bibliography entries are listed. |
baseurl |
https://git.logicalhacking.com/adbrucker/authorarchive/src/master | The URL used as prefix for building the links. |
suffix |
.pdf |
The suffix to use at links. |
publisher |
UNKOWN PUBLISHER |
The name of the publisher. Default values are set by the series (LNCS , ...). |
year |
UNKOWN YEAR |
The year of the publication. |
key |
empty | The basename of the filename. Used also to generate links. |
doi |
empty | The DOI of the publication. Used to generate the DOI link. |
doiText |
The value of doi |
In case a DOI contains underscores, the displayed text differs from the DOI. |
publisherurl |
empty | In case no DOI is provided, one can provide a link to the publisher. |
startpage |
1 | The pagenumber of the first page of the paper. |
publication |
UNKNOWN PUBLICATION |
Information on the publication. |
The package also defines a command \authorsetup{}
which allows to
define key value options dynamically. Moreover, if a file
authorarchive.config
exists in the LaTeX search path, it will be
loaded automatically. This allows for configuring defaults
(e.g., the baseurl) easily.
Embedding Bibliography Entries
Mostly, it is hard for scientists to find the correct bibtex entry for
a paper. One solution to this issue is to embed the respective .bib
(BibTeX, for LaTeX users), .enw
(Endnote), .ris
, or .word.xml
(Word 2007 or later) file in the PDF directly. In case any of these
file exist in bibtexdir
, it gets embedded in the PDF.
You can use the (bibutils)[https://sourceforge.net/p/bibutils/home/bib2xml/] for converting between these different formats for bibliographic references easily.
Alternative Packages
The package coverpage prepends a separate PDF page before the first page of the paper.
That page contains the bibliographic information as BibTeX entry.
One is forced to have a .bib
file ready and multiple institutions are not well supported.
With authorarchive
, the information is printed at the bottom of the first page of the paper and required links to the publisher are generated.
The package llncsconf is a light-weight alternative to this package.
It supports LNCS only.
In comparison to authorarchive
, it provides support for the additional publication states "intended-to-submit" and "submitted", but no QR code and links to the author's archive URL.
