To be clear, this example document is not intended as a tutorial on how to write a scientific paper. This document is an example of how to properly format an ARC Alliance journal manuscript. Entries that are made by journal staff and authors, repsectively, are clearly marked in the template. Authors should not change margins, fonts, bibliographic style etc that are defined to ensure a consistent layout for all journal articles. Other packages needed for optimal presentation of the authors' work are permitted, including personally written style files that do not clash with the standard example template. Those familiar with the \LaTeX\ documentclass \verb|article| should find this template straightforward to use. Those unfamiliar with \LaTeX\ will be able to more easily come up the learning curve because of the standard class and package approach used with this template. Many good resources exist online for those entering the \TeX\ world \cite[e.g.][]{greenwade93}.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}
Because ARC Alliance journals are Diamond Open Access there exists a desire to produce uniform professionally typeset documents indicative of a fine journal but without an expensive production process. This template is designed to enable authors to produce a near final form of such a document, while requiring only minimal touch by production staff---for example to add paper identifiers for archiving, indexing, and distribution purposes. LaTeX\ is a mature, open-source standard for publishing that can produce beautiful output. Because of its open-source nature, a vast community of contributors has developed packages and posted them on public repositories such as \verb|CTAN|. This vast, and growing, number of packages enables relatively straightforward typeset quality production of sophisticated mathematics and graphic laden manuscripts.
The purpose of this brief example is to illustrate example components of an ARC Alliance Geophysical Research manuscript. Many of the elements of such a manuscript follow standard conventions from documentclass \verb|article|. To produce a modern look and feature-rich document several packages have been combined with this basic class to produce the desired design and functionality. While documentation is available for all of these add-on packages, the more subtle aspects of the template may never need to be understood by some users and details for the packages used are available on line for the curious. A summary of main aspects of the template follows.
\section{Sections and Such}
\label{sec:sections}
Sections, subsections, and subsubsections follow the standard \LaTeX\ usage style and are the main elements used to organize a manuscript. These constructs are numbered and are typically used for common components of a manuscript, such as the introduction, background, methods, results, discussion, and conclusions. Of course, no rigid style is appropriate for all manuscripts, so deviations from these sections occurs. Subdivisions within each section will vary as well. It is common to add labels to sections to facilitate back references to specific material within a manuscript. Avoid organizations that include only a single level of construct. For example, if subsections are created within a section then their should be more than one subsection.
\section{Floats}
Floats refer collectively to figures and tables. \LaTeX\ add on packages provide full support for publication quality graphics. Automatic referencing of figures and tables is also supported using the \verb|label| command. Some simple examples can be used to illustrate floats. \autoref{fig:ex1} illustrates a simple figure, where \verb|autoref| has been used to refer to the figure, which is hyperlinked. \autoref{fig:ex2} is a hyperlinked multi-pane figure. The \verb|graphix| package was used for these examples, and this extensive flexible package can meet essentially all graphics needs for most users, especially when supplemented with the \verb|subcaption| package used for \autoref{fig:ex2}. Other packages exist as well for special graphics presentation. \autoref{tab:example} is an example of a simple hyperlinked table. Standard \LaTeX\ can be used to produce a wide range of tables that can meet most needs. Special table needs can be handled through various available packages that authors may choose to use.

\section{Bibliographic References}
Bibliographic entries should be created using a standard \verb|.bib| file. Formatting of entries and the citation style is implemented using the \verb|natbib| package. For example, a reference to \verb|CTAN| can be made as a parenthetical entry \cite{greenwade93} or as an in text entry as \citet{greenwade93}. Multiple references can be added in a single citation. Popular database systems can be used to generate a \verb|.bib| file or utilities such as \verb|JabRef| can also be used. Only the entries from the \verb|.bib| file that are cited will be included in the paper. All references are hyperlinked to ease navigation.
\section{Equation Construction}
Equation constructs follow normal \LaTeX\ conventions. A simple equation is
\begin{equation}
y=mx+b\;,
\label{eq:ex1}
\end{equation}
where note that equations should be punctuated. All normal constructs are available, including those from the \verb|amsmath| package. The usual approach is to use native \LaTeX\ and \verb|amstex| to typseset equations. This provides easily understandable code for the knowledgeable reader without the need to learn a lot of new commands and minimal problems with clashes among defined variables.
In some cases, using native \LaTeX\ and the \verb|amsmath| package is not sufficient alone for the most efficient typesetting of a document. Authors may define macros to ease the typesetting job or even rely upon packages that do not clash with other packages loaded in the template. An example of such a case is shown in the following equation
%\begin{comment}
\begin{align}
&
\ewn\pdt {J_n^\wn}
-J_n^\wn\deld\lrp{\ewn \vec w^\wn}
+J_n^\wn\aop{J_n \mn n\vdot\vmi\wn}\wn{}{}
+2\deld\aop{\vec w_\wn J_n}\wn{}{}
\nonumber \\
&
-2\aop{(\vmi\wn \vdot\mn n) K_n}\wn{}{}
+\del\del\dd\aop{\lrp{\tI-\tGmi\wn}(\vmi\wn\vdot\mn n)}\wn{}{}
-\aop{\mn \wn\vdot\vmi\wns J_n}\wns{}{}
\nonumber\\
&
+\deld\aop{\mn \wn \vmi\wn\vdot\mn n}\wns{}{}
+\aop{\mn \wn\vdot\deli(\vmi\wn\vdot\mn n)}\wns{}{}
+J_n^\wn\aop{\mn \wn\vdot\vmi\wns}\wns{}{}
=0\;.
\label{eq:ex2}
\end{align}
%\end{comment}
\autoref{eq:ex2} could of course be typeset without added macros or packages, but the complexity of the symbols and operators would make such an effort burdensome. When complicated equations with specialized notation that become significantly longer than this example are needed, challenges mount and user packages specially tailored to the job can make things easier. Such specialized approaches are allowable with ARC Alliance journals.
