Manuscript Formatting and Submission Preparation

Format manuscripts to meet journal-specific requirements and prepare submission packages.

When to Use

• Formatting a manuscript for a specific journal
• Preparing a submission package (cover letter, figures, supplementary)
• Converting between Word/DOCX, Markdown, and LaTeX
• Checking compliance with author guidelines
• Managing references and BibTeX

Word Draft Workflow

Use this workflow when the reader needs an editable .docx manuscript draft. The bundled reference document gives a polished, readable starting point with a clear title block, restrained headings, legible body text, page numbers, figure and table captions, and compact table text. It is a review-draft style, not a substitute for a journal's required template.
