Wiley's PDF design LaTex authoring template

Our PDF LaTex template is created to help you write manuscripts in LaTeX for journals published by Wiley and formatted in our standard article layout.

Please review the detailed author guidelines within the WileyDesign.zip package for information about using the LaTex template to write your manuscript. The .zip file also contains the class, style and font files.

Journal-level instructions

If you are writing for a specific journal, please also check that journal's Author Guidelines on Wiley Online Library for any other journal-level formatting guidelines and instructions. Many journals at Wiley accept LaTeX files at submission, while others will require you to upload a PDF at submission and supply the native LaTeX files at a later date. Therefore, please check the individual journal Author Guidelines for details.

Typesetting information

Please be aware that manuscript files will be converted by our typesetters into each journal's final typesetting specifications for publication, regardless of the reference, font and column number format selected in the manuscript. This template helps you to use standard LaTeX coding for optimal conversion into typesetting specifications by our typesetters. By following the instructions in this template, you can prepare the manuscript files so that they can be processed more quickly after acceptance for final publication.

Where journals offer Free Format submission (allowing submission of your manuscript and references in the style or format of your choice) it is suggested that you still use this LaTeX template. Its standard LaTeX coding could streamline accepted articles’ conversion process and improve speed to publication.

Please avoid using custom fonts, customized layouts, complex constructions and macros, because their use in a manuscript could cause difficulties during conversion into final journal specifications.

Submission instructions

If submitting your manuscript file in LaTeX format via Research Exchange, select the file designation “Main Document – LaTeX .text File” on upload. When submitting a LaTeX Main Document, you must also provide a PDF version of the manuscript for Peer Review. If submitting your manuscript in LaTeX format via Research Exchange (ReX), you may upload a .zip file containing the main .tex file, a compiled PDF, and all supporting files (e.g., figures, bibliographies). This ensures all necessary components are included for peer review and production. Please upload this file as “Main Document - LaTeX PDF.” All supporting files that are referred to in the LaTeX Main Document should be uploaded as a “LaTeX Supplementary File.”

Post-acceptance files

Please provide your article’s references in bibtex format, if possible, because this will help during the conversion process of accepted manuscripts into typeset specifications if references need to be reformatted to a specific journal’s reference style. Embedded references in the TeX file will require the typesetter to do a manual process to reformat them into the journal’s required style if the references are provided in a different style.

Please check that you have supplied the following files for typesetting post-acceptance:
(i) PDF created from the finalized source manuscript files compiled without any errors.
(ii) The LaTeX source code files (text, figure captions, and tables, preferably in a single file), BibTeX format files (if used), and any associated packages/files along with all other files needed for compiling without any errors. This is particularly important if you have used any LaTeX style or class files, bibliography files (.bib, .bbl, .bst) or packages apart from those used in the LaTeX template class file.
(iii) Electronic graphics files for the figures/illustrations in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), PDF or TIFF format. Authors are requested not to create figures using LaTeX codes.

Software

For best results, first make sure you have at least MiKTeX 2.9 (21.2) or TeXLive 2021 installed on your computer or use the latest version of your LaTeX editor.
