About

Author support service provides LaTeX style files and *.tex file templates designed for International Press journal Journal of Blockchain Research (JBR) articles.

Package content

The following files are given in the repository (or directly in *.zip archive):

• ipart.cls, ipart-layout-jbr.sty - LaTeX style files designed for International Press journal articles. Please do not change them. These files are already loaded in the respective template files;
• imsart-number.bst, imsart-nameyear.bst - suggested BibTeX¹ related bibliography styles. If your bibliography is structured in BibTeX format, loading your *.bib file and one of provided BibTeX styles allows you to get the final format of the bibliography.
• jbr-template.tex - topmatter template (should be used for article preparation);
• jbr-sample.tex - journal sample article;
• jbr-sample.pdf - journal sample article (PDF file);

Setup

• Clone the repository or download the *.zip archive. Rename the package to <your-project-name>.
• Install ipart.cls, ipart-layout-jbr.sty, imsart-number.bst, imsart-nameyear.bst in your TeX system (suggested directory: ipart).
• Use the file jbr-template.tex to start your article as a template.
• Use the file jbr-sample.tex as a reference for how to prepare a topmatter of your article.

Recommended usage of ipart package

Use jbr-template.tex as a template.

Dependencies

ipart.cls file loads flushend.sty and stfloats.sty from sttools package. Please make sure that your TeX system has the latest version of this package.

Document class options

For the JBR journal jbr option must be set in a \documentclass[]{ipart}:

\documentclass[jbr]{ipart}

For bibliography references output and citations a natbib package is loaded by default with the following options:

\usepackage[numbers,square]{natbib}

It provides numbered citations.

In case author-year citation is required, provide the authoryear option:

\documentclass[jbr,authoryear]{ipart}

All natbib package options can be provided in this way.

In case some other bibliography package is used which is not compatible with natbib package, one can disable the latter with the option nonatbib:

\documentclass[jbr,nonatbib]{ipart}

The preamble of your LaTeX document should look like this:

\documentclass[jbr]{ipart}
