LaTeX templates for manuscripts (switchable bioRxiv preprint and journal submission templates), for use on Overleaf.
An ideal manuscript LaTeX template should be able to generate two versions of the manuscript:
- a preprint version - typeset to look like a finished paper
- a journal submission version - better for reviewing, with line numbers and different spacing, etc.
The ideal template should be able to switch between these two manuscript layouts. A preview of both outputs is shown below.
To use, just clone this repo and import into Overleaf or a directory on your own computer to use a local LaTeX installation.
The following files and folders are not required: img, Examples, README.
Write your manuscript in 01_Article_MainText.tex and then comment either line 2 or 3 of 00_Article_Merge.tex to select between outputs.
There are optional Supplementary tex files that can also be edited.
If they are not required, comment the appropriate lines in 00_Article_Merge.tex.
Tested on Overleaf - TeXLive 2023 with pdfLaTeX compiler.
The initial overleaf template was forked from the template created by Henriques lab available here. This is a modification of the PNAS template (also available on Overleaf) which is widely used on bioRxiv. We have made a few changes to the HenriquesLab bioRxiv template and made it possible to easily generate a journal submission version.
Changes include:
- genuine bioRxiv logo used in the footer
- support for ORCiDs using
\orcidlink - Helvetica for readability
- greater range of custom units
- refactored into one single class - thank you to Dominik Straub for his work on this fork.
