achemso - Sup­port for sub­mis­sions to Amer­i­can Chem­i­cal So­ci­ety jour­nals

The achemso bun­dle pro­vides a LaTeX class file and BibTeX style file in ac­cor­dance with the re­quire­ments of the Amer­i­can Chem­i­cal So­ci­ety (ACS). The files can be used for any doc­u­ments, but have been care­fully de­signed and tested to be suit­able for sub­mis­sion to ACS jour­nals.

The bun­dle also in­cludes the natmove pack­age. This pack­age is loaded by achemso, and pro­vides au­to­matic mov­ing of su­per­script ci­ta­tions af­ter punc­tu­a­tion.

In­stal­la­tion

The pack­age is sup­plied in .dtx for­mat and as a pre-ex­tracted .zip file, achemso.tds.zip. The later is most con­ve­nient for most users: sim­ply un­zip this in your lo­cal texmf di­rec­tory. If you want to un­pack the .dtx your­self, run­ning texachemso.dtx will extract the package whereas la­tex achemso.dtx will extract it and also typeset the documentation. Type­set­ting the doc­u­men­ta­tion re­quires a num­ber of pack­ages in ad­di­tion to those needed to use the pack­age. This is mainly be­cause of the num­ber of demon­stra­tion items in­cluded in the text. To com­pile the doc­u­men­ta­tion with­out er­ror, you will need the pack­ages:

• array
• booktabs
• hypdoc
• listings
• lmodern
• mathpazo
• microtype
