Academic Paper

A document style for research-style writing: serif title, abstract block, numbered sections (I, II, III), italic sub-section headings (A, B, C), numbered figures and tables, and [N] numeric references. Inspired by IEEE conference layout but single-column and screen-reader-friendly — designed for the drafting / preprint / iteration phase, not for IEEEtran-submittable output.

This is a starter-bearing skill: it ships SKILL rules plus a runnable starter/ workspace (React/MDX entry, theme, design doc, sample chapters). Use openpress to initialize the OpenPress runtime workspace; this skill owns the academic starter files and design rules.

Visual signature

• Type: serif (Source Serif 4 / Noto Serif TC) throughout. Title in large display weight; body in 10.5pt-ish reading size.
• Sections: Roman numerals + small caps for top-level (I. INTRODUCTION); italic sentence-case for sub-sections (A. Maintaining the Integrity…); run-in italics for sub-sub-sections (a) Positioning Figures and Tables:).
• Abstract: bold inline label **Abstract**—, italic body, full-width band before the body starts.
• Index Terms: bold inline label **Index Terms**—, italic body, immediately under abstract.
• References: [1], [2] numeric style with hanging indent.
• Figures / Tables: auto-numbered, captions placed below figures / above tables, narrow hairline borders.
• Layout: A4 single-column. A two-column paper needs a dedicated page/frame component; this starter does not promise publisher-final IEEE/ACM layout.
