SciPy Proceedings

Paper Format

Papers are formatted using reStructuredText and the compiled version should be no longer than 7 pages, including figures. Here are the steps to produce a paper:

  • Fork the scipy_proceedings repository on GitHub.

  • Check out the 2014 branch (git checkout 2014).

  • An example paper is provided in papers/00_vanderwalt. Create a new directory papers/firstname_surname, copy the example paper into it, and modify to your liking.

  • Run ./make_paper.sh papers/firstname_surname to compile your paper to PDF (requires LaTeX, docutils, Python--see below). The output appears in output/firstname_surname/paper.pdf.

  • Once you are ready to submit your paper, file a pull request on GitHub. Please ensure that you file against the correct branch--your branch should be named 2014, and the pull-request should be against our 2014 branch.

  • Please do not modify any files outside of your paper directory.

Pull requests are to be submitted by June 15th, but modifications are allowed during the open review period which ends July 5th.

General Guidelines

  • All figures and tables should have captions.
  • License conditions on images and figures must be respected (Creative Commons, etc.).
  • Code snippets should be formatted to fit inside a single column without overflow.
  • Avoid custom LaTeX markup where possible.

Other markup

Please refer to the example paper in papers/00_vanderwalt for examples of how to:

  • Label figures, equations and tables
  • Use math markup
  • Include code snippets

Requirements

  • AMSmath LaTeX classes (included in most LaTeX distributions)
  • docutils 0.8 or later (easy_install docutils)
