Style Files

INFORMS production provides style files for latex, which can be obtained from the Author & Editor Downloads page. Authors should download them and make sure they can use them without problems as early as possible. If an author uses MS Word ©, it will be converted to LaTeX during production.

Guidelines for Authors (for book)
Each tutorial will be a chapter in the book, and each volume editor (the meeting tutorials chairperson) can decide the length (may vary from volume to volume).

Here are format requirements for each volume:

Bibliography - use the TutORials bibtex style file (see template), and follow the formats given in bibexamples (also comes with download zip file).
Number all figures and tables with captions placed above the figure or table. (Footnotes or source information can go below the figure or table.)
Use references to the section in which a figure or equation appears (using \label and \pageref).
Avoid using special packages in LaTeX (graphicx, url, amsmath and amssymb are included), and do not use pstricks.
Consult the LaTeX templates for options, such as shorter titles for running heads.

When you submit your draft, please check the formatting and do the following:

Check spelling and grammar.
Check that every [sub-]section has more than one paragraph.
Include all source files, including figures.

Authors — please consult the book editor for questions.

Editors — please consult the series editor for questions.
