CTAN has a new package: Scientific Paper Package

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in a day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: Scientific Paper Package (science) Author's name: Ryan Aycock Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/scientificpaper Summary description: This package enables authors to produce simple, generic scientific papers. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX has long been known as a convenient tool for writing scientific papers. Much to my surprise, however, there are no packages on CTAN that actually format scientific papers easily. The effort seeks to correct that problem by giving users a simple-to-use method for distributing their work. Notice, this package is not based on any particular style guide. It will only create a generic, two column paper with a single column abstract at the top. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/scientificpaper although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
