LaTeX Editor Package for the publications in IMS series
"Lecture Notes-Monograph Series"

The purpose of this package is to prepare preliminary pages to the LNMS volume:

• Title page;
• Copyright page;
• Contents of volume;
• Preface to volume;
• List of Contributors;

Contents of a .zip file Following files are included in the distribution: imsartprelims.sty imsart prelims package; imslogo.eps IMS logo on a title page (.eps file); imslogo.pdf IMS logo on a title page (.pdf file); lnms-prelims-template.tex template for the prelims pages of entire LNMS volume; lnms-prelims-sample.tex prelims sample pages; lnms-prelims-sample.pdf prelims sample pages (pdf file);

imsartprelims.zip

Setup

• unpack .zip file;
• install imsartprelims.sty, imslogo.eps, imslogo.pdf in your TeX system (suggested directory: imsart);
• use the file lnms-prelims-template.tex to start your LNMS prelim pages as a template;
• use the file lnms-prelims-sample.tex as a reference for how to prepare a frontmatter of your article;

We will assume that .tex filename is lnms-prelims.tex in the examples below.

Preliminary steps

The following rules must be kept to prepare ToC and contributors list automatically:

• all articles must be prepared with imsart package at least version 2006/08/23;
• the information for the list of contributors must be included in all files:
  \contributor{Author, F.}{Some University}
• if article was uploaded to arXiv, an arXiv id must be supplied in article .tex file:
  \arxiv{math.PR/0000000}
• use of hyperref package is recommended;

Title and copyright pages

Code for these pages should look like this:

\documentclass[dvips,lnms]{imsart}

\volumetitle{Volume Title}
\volume{00}
\pubyear{2006}

\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
\editor{Some Editor, Editor}
\end{titlepage}

\begin{copyrightpage}
\LCCN{0000000000}
\ISBN{0-000000-00-0}
\serieseditor{Joel Greenhouse and Richard A. Vitale}
\treasurer{Jiayang Sun}
\executivedirector{Elyse Gustafson}
\end{copyrightpage}

LCCN and ISBN numbers must be obtained from IMS office.

Contents

To prepare a table of contents you must:

• copy all .aux files of articles to working directory. All articles must be compiled with imsart package version starting from 2006/08/23. We will refer to those files as chapter1.tex, chapter2.tex,...;
• create a file files.txt with the filenames in correct order (you could do it with simple command dir /b *.aux > files.txt ). The contents of files.txt must be as follows:

  chapter1.aux
  chapter2.aux
  chapter3.aux
  

• add (or uncomment) the following lines to your .tex file (lnms-prelims.tex):

  \begin{files}
  \filelist{files.txt}
  \end{files}
  

• compile .tex file. A file lnms-prelims.tob will appear. Insert contents of this file into your .tex file:

  \begin{contents}[none]
  
  \contentsline{begintocitem}{}{}
  \contentsline{arxiv}{math.PR/0000001}{}
  \contentsline{jobname}{chapter1}{}
  \contentsline{title}{Title of Chapter 1}{1}
  \contentsline{author}{First Author, Second Author and Third Author }{1}
  \contentsline{endtocitem}{}{}
  
  ...
  \end{contents}
  

• edit contents if required. You could add parts with commands
  \contentsline{section}{Part A}{}
• pdf linking of contents lines to articles could be obtained by replacing key none with:
  • file - ToC will be linked to filenames;
  • arxiv - ToC will link via arxiv numbers;
  • doi - ToC will link via doi numbers;
• environment \begin{files}...\end{files} could be removed from the .tex file.

Preface

Code for the Preface should look like this:

\begin{preface}

\begin{frontmatter}
\title{Preface}
\end{frontmatter}
\thispagestyle{plain}

Text...

\end{preface}

Contributors

To prepare a "Contributors to this volume" you must:

• run a MakeIndex program on the file lnms-prelims.idx. You will get file lnms-prelims.ind;
• Insert contents of this file into your .tex file:

  \begin{contributors}
  \begin{theindex}
  
    \item Author, F., \textit {Some University}
    \item Author, S., \textit {Some University}
    \item Author, T., \textit {Another University}
  
  \end{theindex}
  
  \end{contributors}
  

Uploading LNMS volume files to the arXiv

The following procedure is suggested for the uploading of entire LNMS volume to arXiv:

• Upload each article of the volume to arXiv;
• Get the arXiv id for each article, insert it into .tex files with command \arxiv{math.PR/0000000}, recompile the files and reupload the files to arXiv (arXiv id number will appear on copyright lines);
• Prepare the lnms-prelims.tex file as described above. Use the hyperref package and the key arxiv
\begin{contents}[arxiv]
• upload the lnms-prelims.tex to arXiv;
• ToC in this file will be hyperlinked to the articles in arXiv;
