\section{Introduction}
47
This is the author's guide to the AIP substyles for \revtex~4.1,
48
providing a useful formatting tool
49
for \LaTeX\ users submitting papers to journals
50
published by the American Institute of Physics.
51
This guide is intended as an adjunct to the documentation for \revtex\ itself
52
(published by the American Physical Society),
53
so information contained therein is not repeated here,
54
except as it bears on the specific features of the AIP substyles.
57
\subsection{Prerequisite Documentation}
59
The following documentation should be considered your first source of information
60
on how to prepare your document for use with this format;
61
they are to be found within the APS \revtex~4.1 distribution.
62
Updated versions of these are maintained at
63
the \revtex~4.1 homepage located at \url{http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/},
64
are also available at the Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network (CTAN, see \url{http://www.ctan.org/}),
65
and form part of the \TeX Live distribution of \TeX.
67
\item \textit{Author's Guide to \revtex~4.1}
68
\item \textit{\revtex~4.1 Command and Options Summary}
69
\item \textit{What's New in \revtex~4.1}
71
The present guide builds upon these documents, with which you should already be familiar.
73
The AIP substyles distribution for \revtex~4.1 includes
74
a sample document (\file{aipsamp.tex}),
75
a good starting point for
76
the manuscript you are preparing for submission to an AIP journal.
78
By using \revtex's \textit{Author's Guide to \revtex~4.1}, you can develop your
79
document until it contains all of the content you desire.
80
This guide informs you on document class options, commands, and
81
markup guidelines specific to AIP journals.
83
\subsection{Software Requirements}
85
This guide assumes a working \revtex~4.1 installation including the AIP substyles.
86
Please see the installation guide included with the distribution.\cite{Note1}
88
Please note that the AIP substyles work {\it only} with \revtex~4.1:
89
the original \revtex~4.0 release does {\it not} make the AIP substyle available, nor is it compatible with them.
91
For your computer to run \revtex~4.1 with the AIP substyles, the following are required:
94
a working installation of \LaTeX\,
96
\revtex~4.1 and all packages it requires,
98
the AIP substyles for \revtex~4.1, and
100
any further \LaTeX\ packages used in your document.
103
The easiest way to obtain all of the needed software is to install an up-to-date distribution of \TeX,
104
like \TeX Live, available on CTAN.
106
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this software, please see \url{http://www.aip.org/pubservs/compuscript.html}.
109
\subsection{Submitting to AIP Journals}
111
Authors preparing a manuscript for submission to
112
AIP journals should consult the Information for Contributors for the applicable journal,
113
available through links at \url{http://journals.aip.org/}.
114
These requirements are not covered systematically in this author's guide;
115
you are responsible for understanding the requirements of the particular journal to which
116
you will submit your article.
118
For further information about journal requirements, contact the Editorial
119
Office of the appropriate journal. (Follow links at \url{http://journals.aip.org/}.)
121
\subsection{Contact Information}\label{sec:resources}%
122
Any bugs, problems, or inconsistencies concerning the AIP journal substyles
123
should be reported to AIP support at \href{mailto:tex@aip.org}{tex@aip.org}.
124
Reports should include information on the error and a
125
\textit{small} sample document that manifests the problem, if possible.
126
(Please don't send large files!)
128
Feedback concerning \revtex~4.1 itself should be sent, as usual,
129
to the American Physical Society at\\ \href{mailto:revtex@aps.org}{revtex@aps.org}.
131
To determine if the problem you are experiencing belongs to \revtex\ or is specific to the
132
AIP substyles, simply remove \texttt{aip} from your document class options and rerun
133
your document. If the problem goes away, you may assume that it is due to the AIP substyles;
134
if not, it belongs to \revtex.
136
\section{Sample \LaTeXe\ Document}
137
As the \revtex\ documentation makes clear, your document employs a \LaTeXe\ document class
138
(specifically \texttt{revtex4-1.cls}), so you should use
139
the \LaTeXe\ commands and environments familiar to you with, say, the
140
standard article class \texttt{revtex4-1.cls}, and you will be able to
141
employ many of the packages you are used to using with \LaTeXe.
143
Using \texttt{aipsamp.tex} as an example,
144
your document will start with the usual \revtex\ \cmd\documentclass\ statement, but with
145
a particular document class option \texttt{aip} that specifies the AIP substyle:
147
\documentclass[aip]{revtex4-1}
149
You will then invoke the \LaTeXe\-compatible packages your document requires, say:
151
\usepackage{graphicx}%
152
\usepackage{dcolumn}%
155
follow up with your document content:
160
and finish with a statement specifying your Bib\TeX\ database:
162
\bibliography{aipsamp}
167
in the bibliography of this guide provide extensive coverage of all topics
168
pertaining to preparing documents under \LaTeXe\; they are highly recommended.
170
\section{\revtex\ Class Options Specific to AIP}
172
\subsection{Journal Substyle}
173
To access particular features of the AIP substyle, you will specify an additional document class option: the journal substyle, e.g.,
175
\documentclass[aip,jcp]{revtex4-1}
177
in this case, \textit{J. Chem. Phys.}, the default.
178
A complete list of AIP journals with the corresponding journal substyle appears in Table~\ref{tab:journals}.
180
\caption{\label{tab:journals}AIP journal substyles}
183
\textbf{Journal} & \textbf{class option} \\
184
\itshape Appl. Phys. Lett. &\texttt{apl}\\
185

\itshape Phys. Plasmas &\texttt{pop}\\
193
\itshape Rev. Sci. Instrum.&\texttt{rsi}\\
196
\footnotetext[1]{Default journal substyle.}
199
\subsection{Options for Citations and Bibliography}
200
The citation style for AIP journals is:
203
numerical (default style),
207
numerical author-year,
209
the latter two styles being only allowed for \textit{Chaos} or \textit{J. Math. Phys.}
211
The familiar numerical citations and numbered bibliography are the default for most journals:
212
citations are superscript numbers, and the (numbered) bibliographic entries appear in the order cited.
214
Author-year citations are only allowed for
215
\textit{Chaos} or \textit{J. Math. Phys.}, with citations given in author-and-year format.
216
Bibliographic entries are sorted by alphabetical order of first author's surname, then by year.
218
Numerical author-year citations
219
(only allowed for \textit{Chaos} or \textit{J. Math. Phys.})
220
are superscript numbers, just like numerical citations,
221
but the bibliographic entries are sorted like the author-year entries and are numbered.
222
This means that the first citation will not necessarily be~1.
224
To obtain the numerical style, simply accept the default, or supply a class option of \texttt{numerical}:
226
\documentclass[aip,numerical]{revtex4-1}
228
For author-year citations for \textit{Chaos} or \textit{J. Math. Phys.},
229
you may specify the \texttt{author-year} option:
231
\documentclass[aip,author-year]{revtex4-1}
233
Each of the above two options are part of standard \revtex.
235
To obtain numerical author-year citations
236
for \textit{Chaos} or \textit{J. Math. Phys.},
237
give the author-numerical option:
239
\documentclass[aip,author-numerical]{revtex4-1}
241
Note that the \texttt{author-numerical} option is not part of standard \revtex\, so use of it
242
outside of the AIP substyles may not have any effect.
244
\subsection{Formatting Options}
245
There are two commonly used formats for an article you may write.
246
One will comply with the manuscript submission formatting requirements of the editorial office of the journal you are submitting to.
247
The other will emulate the format of your article in the published journal itself.
249
For journal submission, accept the default, or you may specify the \texttt{preprint} option:
251
\documentclass[aip,preprint]{revtex4-1}
253
To emulate the formatting of the journal, specify the \texttt{reprint} option:
255
\documentclass[aip,reprint]{revtex4-1}
257
Note that emulation is not by any means complete: the fonts used will differ, and therefore
258
the length of the article will not represent an accurate estimate.
259
Other details may also differ.
261
A summary of class options of interest to AIP authors appears in Table~\ref{tab:options}.
263

\section{Useful \LaTeXe\ Markup}
283
\LaTeXe\ markup is the preferred way to structure your file.
284
In general, the use of low-level commands like \TeX\ primitives or Plain \TeX\ macros
286
Please see the \revtex\ User's Guide,\cite{Note2}
287
the \LaTeX\ manual,\cite{LaTeXman}
288
and the \LaTeXe\ book\cite{Compan}
291
\subsection{Title and Front Matter}\label{sec:front}
293
The \revtex\ User's Guide has complete information on using \revtex's special markup for your
294
article's title, author list, abstract, and other front matter elements.
295
Note that class option \texttt{superscriptaddress} is the default for the AIP substyles,
296
as required by all AIP journals.
298
\subsection{Lead Paragraph}
299
One AIP journal, \textit{Chaos}, requires a paragraph of text to precede the first
300
\cmd\section\ of the article;
301
this is known as a lead paragraph and is formatted boldface.
302
To give your article a lead paragraph,
303
include a quotation environment ahead of the first \cmd\section\ command:
305
\documentclass[aip]{revtex4-1}
308
Here is my lead paragraph!
310
\section{Introduction}
314
The \texttt{quotation} environment functions normally after the first \cmd\section\ command in the document.
318
For general information on commands used in the body of the document, see the \revtex\ User's Guide.
319
Herein are some features specific to the AIP author.
321
\subsection{Footnotes}
323
If you are using numbered citations (numerical or numbered author-year),
324
footnotes are by default incorporated into the reference section
325
along with your bibliographic entries.
326
This automated feature is only effective if you use Bib\TeX\ to prepare your
329
Author-year style bibliography does not lend itself to such a treatment,
330
so by default footnotes appear in text as is usual.
331
However, be advised that, if your article is accepted for publication,
332
footnotes may be incorporated into text during the production process.
334
\section{Citations and References}\label{sec:endnotes}
336
The preparation of your bibliography ``by hand'' is possible;
337
however, if you do so,
338
you will be entirely responsible
339
for compliance with submission requirements for your bibliographic entries,
340
for incorporating any text footnotes into the references,
341
and for checking bibliographic entries.
342
(In this connection, you may find useful the file \texttt{reftest.tex}, distributed with \revtex.)
344
There are numerous reasons to use Bib\TeX, not least because it automates the first and second of the above checks.
346
\subsection{\label{sec:use-bib}Using Bib\protect\TeX}
348
Refer to the \revtex\ User's Guide, the \LaTeX\ manual, and the Bib\TeX\ manual
349
for full information about using Bib\TeX.
351
When using Bib\TeX\, keep in mind that changing your bibliography style or citation style
352
(via the document class options described above) will require you to rerun Bib\TeX.
353
The standard litany (using \texttt{aipsamp.tex} as an example) for this is:
360
Here, the first invocation of \texttt{latex} has the effect of rewriting the
361
\texttt{aipsamp.aux} file,
362
and the invocation of \texttt{bibtex} creates a new \texttt{aipsamp.bbl} file.
363
The next two runs of \texttt{latex} are then required:
364
the first to update the \texttt{aipsamp.aux} file reflecting the new values of your citations
365
and the second to employ those citations correctly.
366
Be sure to check the end of the \texttt{aipsamp.log} file for any message advising you to
367
rerun \texttt{latex}.
369
\subsection{Multiple References per Citation}
370
In an article using numerical citations,
371
it is not uncommon to encounter the need for a citation
372
that refers to more than one article or other reference.
373
To accommodate such a case, \revtex~4.1 implements markup similar to that of the
374
\texttt{mcite} package for \LaTeXe.
376
Let's say that two citation keys \texttt{able} and \texttt{baker}
377
need to be combined into a single reference.
378
The syntax for the \cmd\cite\ command is:
380
word\cite{able,*baker} further text
382
When you run Bib\TeX\, the resulting bibliography will contain the two entries, but run together
383
as a single numbered reference.
384
In the \cmd\cite\ command argument, any cite key that starts with the * character
385
signifies that its bibliographic entry is to be joined together with the one preceding it;
386
the \texttt{*} may join together any number of entries into a single reference.
