Two-column Automatica style file

The style file autart.cls is a modified version of the official Elsevier style file elsart.cls. It produces output in two-column format that resembles the printed Automatica style more than output produced with elsart.cls.

Annotated sample LaTeX file

The annotated sample file autosam.tex illustrates the preparation of LaTeX documents for Automatica based on the Automatica style file autart.cls or the Elsevier style file elsart.cls. Download the sample file together with several auxiliary files packed together in the archive autosam.zip (Windows) or autosam.tar.gz (UNIX). After unpacking the archive, open the file autosam.tex as a text file and consult the annotations.

Please note

• For first submissions the use of the standard LaTeX article style or the special Automatica style file autart.cls is recommended. For the final versions of accepted papers the use of the special Automatica style file autart.cls or the Elsevier elsart.cls preprint style is requested.
• The output produced with the Elsevier style files elsart.* does not imitate the style of Automatica. These style files are used for all Elsevier journals and their output has been laid out for easy copy-editing. The special Automatica style file autart.cls produces output that resembles the printed Automatica style.
