The Introduction section, of referenced text @bib1 expands on the background of the work (some overlap with the Abstract is acceptable). The introduction should not include subheadings.
Springer Nature does not impose a strict layout as standard however authors are advised to check the individual requirements for the journal they are planning to submit to as there may be journal-level preferences. When preparing your text please also be aware that some stylistic choices are not supported in full text XML (publication version), including coloured font. These will not be replicated in the typeset article if it is accepted.

Equations in \LaTeX\ can either be inline or on-a-line by itself ("display equations"). For
inline equations use the $...$
commands. E.g.: The equation
$H\psi = E \psi$ is written via the command $H \psi = E \psi$
.
For display equations (with auto generated equation numbers) one can use the equation or align environments:
\begin{equation} \|\tilde{X}(k)\|^2 \leq\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{p}\left\|\tilde{Y}i(k)\right\|^2+\sum\limits{j=1}^{q}\left\|\tilde{Z}_j(k)\right\|^2 }{p+q}.\label{eq1} \end{equation}
where, \begin{align} D_\mu &= \partial_\mu - ig \frac{\lambda^a}{2} A^a_\mu \nonumber \ F^a_{\mu\nu} &= \partial_\mu A^a_\nu - \partial_\nu A^a_\mu + g f^{abc} A^b_\mu A^a_\nu \label{eq2} \end{align}
Notice the use of \nonumber
in the align environment at the end
of each line, except the last, so as not to produce equation numbers on
lines where no equation numbers are required. The \label{}
command
should only be used at the last line of an align environment where
\nonumber
is not used.
\begin{equation} Y_\infty = \left( \frac{m}{\textrm{GeV}} \right)^{-3} \left[ 1 + \frac{3 \ln(m/\textrm{GeV})}{15} + \frac{\ln(c_2/5)}{15} \right] \end{equation}
The class file also supports the use of \mathbb{}
, \mathscr{}
and
\mathcal{}
commands. As such \mathbb{R}
, \mathscr{R}
and \mathcal{R}
produces $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathscr{R}$ and $\mathcal{R}$
respectively (refer Subsubsection\ \ref{subsubsec2}).
Tables can be inserted via the normal knitr::kable()
function or other table-generating packages.
knitr::kable(head(pressure), format = "latex", caption = "Caption text")
Tables can also be inserted via the normal table and tabular environment. To put
footnotes inside tables you should use \footnotetext[]{...}
tag.
The footnote appears just below the table itself (refer Tables~\ref{tab1} and \ref{tab2}).
For the corresponding footnotemark use \footnotemark[...]
\begin{table}[h] \caption{Caption text}\label{tab1}% \begin{tabular}{@{}llll@{}} \toprule Column 1 & Column 2 & Column 3 & Column 4\ \midrule row 1 & data 1 & data 2 & data 3 \ row 2 & data 4 & data 5\footnotemark[1] & data 6 \ row 3 & data 7 & data 8 & data 9\footnotemark[2] \ \botrule \end{tabular} \footnotetext{Source: This is an example of table footnote. This is an example of table footnote.} \footnotetext[1]{Example for a first table footnote. This is an example of table footnote.} \footnotetext[2]{Example for a second table footnote. This is an example of table footnote.} \end{table}
\noindent The input format for the above table is as follows:
\begin{table}[<placement-specifier>] \caption{<table-caption>}\label{<table-label>}% \begin{tabular}{@{}llll@{}} \toprule Column 1 & Column 2 & Column 3 & Column 4\\ \midrule row 1 & data 1 & data 2 & data 3 \\ row 2 & data 4 & data 5\footnotemark[1] & data 6 \\ row 3 & data 7 & data 8 & data 9\footnotemark[2]\\ \botrule \end{tabular} \footnotetext{Source: This is an example of table footnote.

In case of double column layout, tables which do not fit in single column width should be set to full text width.
For this, you need to use \begin{table*}
...
\end{table*}
instead of \begin{table}
...
\end{table}
environment. Lengthy tables which do not fit in textwidth should be set as rotated table. For this, you need to use \begin{sidewaystable}
...
\end{sidewaystable}
instead of \begin{table*}
...
\end{table*}
environment. This environment puts tables rotated to single column width. For tables rotated to double column width, use \begin{sidewaystable*}
...
\end{sidewaystable*}
.
\begin{sidewaystable} \caption{Tables which are too long to fit, should be written using the "sidewaystable" environment as shown here}\label{tab3} \begin{tabular}{\textheight}{@{\extracolsep\fill}lcccccc} \toprule% & \multicolumn{3}{@{}c@{}}{Element 1\footnotemark[1]}& \multicolumn{3}{@{}c@{}}{Element\footnotemark[2]} \\cmidrule{2-4}\cmidrule{5-7}% Projectile & Energy & $\sigma_{calc}$ & $\sigma_{expt}$ & Energy & $\sigma_{calc}$ & $\sigma_{expt}$ \ \midrule Element 3 & 990 A & 1168 & $1547\pm12$ & 780 A & 1166 & $1239\pm100$ \ Element 4 & 500 A & 961 & $922\pm10$ & 900 A & 1268 & $1092\pm40$ \ Element 5 & 990 A & 1168 & $1547\pm12$ & 780 A & 1166 & $1239\pm100$ \ Element 6 & 500 A & 961 & $922\pm10$ & 900 A & 1268 & $1092\pm40$ \ \botrule \end{tabular} \footnotetext{Note: This is an example of table footnote this is an example of table footnote this is an example of table footnote this is an example of~table footnote this is an example of table footnote.} \footnotetext[1]{This is an example of table footnote.} \end{sidewaystable}
As per the \LaTeX\ standards you need to use eps images for \LaTeX\ compilation and pdf/jpg/png
images for PDFLaTeX
compilation.
Use the dev
knitr option to use the approrpate format.
This is one of the major difference between \LaTeX\ and PDFLaTeX
.
Each image should be from a single input .eps/vector image file.
Avoid using subfigures.
The command for inserting images for \LaTeX\ and PDFLaTeX
can be generalized.
The package used to insert images in LaTeX/PDFLaTeX
is the graphicx package.
Figures can be inserted via the normal figure environment as shown in the below example:
plot(pressure)
Packages algorithm
, algorithmicx
and algpseudocode
are used for setting algorithms in \LaTeX\ using the format:
\begin{algorithm} \caption{<alg-caption>}\label{<alg-label>} \begin{algorithmic}[1] . . . \end{algorithmic} \end{algorithm}
You may refer above listed package documentations for more details before setting algorithm
environment. For program codes, the "program" package is required and the command to be used is \begin{program}
...
\end{program}
. A fast exponentiation procedure:
Similarly, for listings
, use the listings
package. \begin{lstlisting}
...
\end{lstlisting}
is used to set environments similar to verbatim
environment. Refer to the lstlisting
package documentation for more details.
A fast exponentiation procedure:
```{=latex}
\lstset{texcl=true,basicstyle=\small\sf,commentstyle=\small\rm,mathescape=true,escapeinside={(}{)}}
\begin{lstlisting}
begin
for $i:=1$ to $10$ step $1$ do
expt($2,i$);
newline() od (\textrm{Comments will be set flush to the right margin})
where
proc expt($x,n$) $\equiv$
$z:=1$;
do if $n=0$ then exit fi;
do if odd($n$) then exit fi;
comment: (\textrm{This is a comment statement;})
$n:=n/2$; $x:=xx$ od;
{ $n>0$ };
$n:=n-1$; $z:=zx$ od;
print($z$).
end
\end{lstlisting}
```{=latex} \begin{algorithm} \caption{Calculate $y = x^n$}\label{algo1} \begin{algorithmic}[1] \Require $n \geq 0 \vee x \neq 0$ \Ensure $y = x^n$ \State $y \Leftarrow 1$ \If{$n < 0$}\label{algln2} \State $X \Leftarrow 1 / x$ \State $N \Leftarrow -n$ \Else \State $X \Leftarrow x$ \State $N \Leftarrow n$ \EndIf \While{$N \neq 0$} \If{$N$ is even} \State $X \Leftarrow X \times X$ \State $N \Leftarrow N / 2$ \Else[$N$ is odd] \State $y \Leftarrow y \times X$ \State $N \Leftarrow N - 1$ \EndIf \EndWhile \end{algorithmic} \end{algorithm}

Figures and tables are labeled with a prefix (fig or tab, respectively) plus the chunk label.
Other environments such as equation and align can be labelled via the \label{#label}
command inside or just below the \caption{}
command.
You can then use the label for cross-reference. As an example, consider
the chunk label declared for Figure\ \ref{fig:fig1} which is
fig1.
To cross-reference it, use the command
Figure \ref{fig:fig1}
, for which it comes up as
"Figure\ \ref{fig:fig1}".
To reference line numbers in an algorithm, consider the label declared for the line number 2 of Algorithm\ \ref{algo1} is \label{algln2}
. To cross-reference it, use the command \ref{algln2}
for which it comes up as line\ \ref{algln2} of Algorithm\ \ref{algo1}.
For citations of references, use\ @bib1 or [@bib2].
The documentclass for springer sn-jnl.cls
contains 3 styling that you can use to set new default for theorems and proofs type
