--------------------
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is meant to aid people preparing scientific papers
|
||
|
|
in the journal Nature (Nature Publishing Group) using LaTeX.
|
||
|
|
Nature does not officially accept preprints or final drafts in
|
||
|
|
LaTeX. However, they DO accept papers in PDF format, which is
|
||
|
|
of course not difficult to arrange.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file nature.cls is the LaTeX2e class file that should be
|
||
|
|
used to write the document. It is designed so that papers written
|
||
|
|
under a different class can be easily converted to Nature's style.
|
||
|
|
I attempted to conform to NPG's style as set out in their Microsoft
|
||
|
|
Word template file available from their website, including paragraph
|
||
|
|
spacing, indentation, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file naturemag.bst is the appropriate BibTeX style file to conform
|
||
|
|
to NPG's reference style, generated using the custom-bib package. It
|
||
|
|
should be up-to-date as of this writing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more information, see the beginning of the class file. The file
|
||
|
|
nature-template.tex gives an example/template of how to use the class
|
||
|
|
and gives some limited tips on NPG's requirements for submission.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am in no way affiliated with NPG and make no claim that the style of
|
||
|
|
any document prepared using this package will conform to NPG's preprint
|
||
|
|
style exactly. When in doubt, refer to their website at:

|
|
|

|
|
Good luck!
