Overleaf template for submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Dark Sky Studies
Overleaf template for submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Dark Sky Studies
% LaTeX support: latex@journalofdarkskystudies.org
% In case you need support, please attach all files that are necessary for compiling as well as the log file, and specify the details of your LaTeX setup (which operating system and LaTeX version / tools you are using).
%=================================================================
\documentclass[jdss,article,submit,moreauthors,pdftex]{Definitions/jdss}
% If you would like to post an early version of this manuscript as a preprint, you may use preprint as the journal and change 'submit' to 'accept'. The document class line would be, e.g., \documentclass[preprints,article,accept,moreauthors,pdftex]{jdss}. This is especially recommended for submission to arXiv, where line numbers should be removed before posting. For preprints.org, the editorial staff will make this change immediately prior to posting.
%--------------------
% Class Options:
%--------------------
%---------
% article
%---------
% The default type of manuscript is "article", but can be replaced by:
% abstract, addendum, article, benchmark, book, bookreview, briefreport, casereport, changes, comment, commentary, communication, conceptpaper, conferenceproceedings, correction, conferencereport, expressionofconcern, extendedabstract, meetingreport, creative, datadescriptor, discussion, editorial, essay, erratum, hypothesis, interestingimages, letter, meetingreport, newbookreceived, obituary, opinion, projectreport, reply, retraction, review, perspective, protocol, shortnote, supfile, technicalnote, viewpoint
% supfile = supplementary materials
%----------
% submit
%----------
% The class option "submit" will be changed to "accept" by the Editorial Office when the paper is accepted. This will only make changes to the frontpage (e.g., the logo of the journal will get visible), the headings, and the copyright information. Also, line numbering will be removed. Journal info and pagination for accepted papers will also be assigned by the Editorial Office.
%------------------
% moreauthors
%------------------
% If there is only one author the class option oneauthor should be used. Otherwise use the class option moreauthors.
%---------
% pdftex
%---------
% The option pdftex is for use with pdfLaTeX. If eps figures are used, remove the option pdftex and use LaTeX and dvi2pdf.

\section{How to Use this Template}
The template details the sections that can be used in a manuscript. Note that these sections are offered as a suggestion, but JDSS does not strictly require following this model for successful manuscript submission and review. For any questions, please contact the editorial office of the journal or support@journalofdarkskystudies.org. For LaTeX related questions please contact latex@journalofdarkskystudies.org.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Introduction}
The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Results}
This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation as well as the experimental conclusions that can be drawn.
Examples of citations: citing a journal paper, \cite{ref-journal} and now citing a book reference. \cite{ref-book}
Bulleted lists look like this:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*,labelsep=5.8mm]
\item First bullet
\item Second bullet
\item Third bullet
\end{itemize}
Numbered lists can be added as follows:
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*,labelsep=4.9mm]
\item First item
\item Second item
\item Third item
\end{enumerate}
\begin{quote}
Offset quotes can be included. This is an example of an offset quote indented by five whitespaces, with a sightly smaller font size than in the main text.
\end{quote}
\subsection{Subsection}
\unskip
\subsubsection{Subsubsection}
The text continues here.
\subsection{Figures, Tables and Schemes}
All figures and tables should be cited in the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc.
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=2 cm]{Definitions/logo-jdss}
\caption{This is a figure. Schemes follow the same formatting. If there are multiple panels, they should be listed as: (\textbf{a}) Description of what is contained in the first panel. (\textbf{b}) Description of what is contained in the second panel. Figures should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. A caption on a single line should be centered.}
\end{figure}
The text continues here.
\begin{table}[H]
\caption{This is a table caption. Tables should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited.}
\centering
%% \tablesize{} %% You can specify the fontsize here, e.g., \tablesize{\footnotesize}. If commented out \small will be used.
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Title 1} & \textbf{Title 2} & \textbf{Title 3}\\
\midrule
entry 1 & data & data\\
entry 2 & data & data\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
The text continues here.
\begin{listing}[H]
\caption{Title of the listing}
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}
\raggedright Text of the listing. In font size footnotesize, small, or normalsize. Preferred format: left aligned and single spaced. Preferred border format: top border line and bottom border line.
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}
\end{listing}
\subsection{Formatting of Mathematical Components}
This is an example of an equation:
\begin{equation}
a + b = c
\end{equation}
%% If the documentclass option "submit" is chosen, please insert a blank line before and after any math environment (equation and eqnarray environments). This ensures correct linenumbering. The blank line should be removed when the documentclass option is changed to "accept" because the text following an equation should not be a new paragraph.
Please punctuate equations as regular text. Theorem-type environments (including propositions, lemmas, corollaries etc.) can be formatted as follows:
%% Example of a theorem:
\begin{Theorem}
Example text of a theorem.
\end{Theorem}
The text continues here. Proofs must be formatted as follows:
%% Example of a proof:
\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem 1]
Text of the proof. Note that the phrase `of Theorem 1' is optional if it is clear which theorem is being referred to.
\end{proof}
The text continues here.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Discussion}
Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Materials and Methods}
Materials and Methods should be described with sufficient details to allow others to replicate and build on published results. Please note that publication of your manuscript implicates that you must make all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated with the publication available to readers. Please disclose at the submission stage any restrictions on the availability of materials or information. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.
Research manuscripts reporting large datasets that are deposited in a publicly available database should specify where the data have been deposited and provide the relevant accession numbers. If the accession numbers have not yet been obtained at the time of submission, please state that they will be provided during review. They must be provided prior to publication.
Interventionary studies involving animals or humans, and other studies require ethical approval must list the authority that provided approval and the corresponding ethical approval code.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Conclusions}
This section is not mandatory, but can be added to the manuscript if the discussion is unusually long or complex.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Patents}
This section is not mandatory, but may be added if there are patents resulting from the work reported in this manuscript.

%% optional
\appendixtitles{no} %Leave argument "no" if all appendix headings stay EMPTY (then no dot is printed after "Appendix A"). If the appendix sections contain a heading then change the argument to "yes".
\appendix
\section{}
\unskip
\subsection{}
The appendix is an optional section that can contain details and data supplemental to the main text. For example, explanations of experimental details that would disrupt the flow of the main text, but nonetheless remain crucial to understanding and reproducing the research shown; figures of replicates for experiments of which representative data is shown in the main text can be added here if brief, or as Supplementary data. Mathematical proofs of results not central to the paper can be added as an appendix.
\section{}
All appendix sections must be cited in the main text. In the appendixes, Figures, Tables, etc. should be labeled starting with `A', e.g., Figure A1, Figure A2, etc.
