Preparing Manuscripts in LaTeX
Authors who wish to prepare their manuscripts in LaTeX can do so. If LaTeX is used to typeset a manuscript, please be sure to use the following template files. For support, contact Mr Dietrich Rordorf (rordorf@mdpi.org). MDPI currently does not support plain TeX.
Global MDPI Class and Style Files
Following class and bibliography style files must be used when preparing a manuscript in LaTeX (depending on your system settings, right-click and choose "Save to" or "Save link as"). Save the files into the same folder as the journal-specific template, where you actually typeset your document. The journal-specific templates can also be downloaded on this page (see below).
- mdpi.cls - the class file defining the layout of the paper - [v2.0 2008/10/09]
- mdpi.bst - the bibliography style file defining the style of the references when using BibTeX
(see http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/documents/bibtex/
for a short overview on how to use BibTeX)
Journal-Specific Templates
In addition to the global class and style files, you will need a journal-specific template, where you will typeset your document:
- Algorithms LaTeX template
- Energies LaTeX template
- Entropy LaTeX template
- Alternative Entropy LaTeX template (recommended if you prepare your paper based on a version archieved in arXiv)
- IJMS LaTeX template
- Materials LaTeX template
- Sensors LaTeX template
Using LaTeX on Different Operating Systems
Microsoft Windows
For Windows users, we recommend the free LaTeX version MiKTeX. MiKTeX comes with a basic installer, which can be downloaded from the MikTeX project page. MikTeX can be used in combination with WinEdt, an easy-to-use LaTeX editor for Windows.
Unix/Linux
LaTeX should be available on every Unix/Linux system. For some related information and documentations how to install LaTeX on some of the Unix/Linux distribtions, see:
Apple Mac OS
See the Mac OS X LaTeX website for more information on running LaTeX under Mac OS X.
