• The elsart style macros were designed for producing a manuscript in a format which is convenient for refereeing and copy editing purposes: we require that the manuscript has a wide margin and ample line spacing, an esthetic layout is not important. For the size of a paper, a reduction factor of 70 per cent (10 manuscript pages produce 7 typeset pages) will give an accurate estimate. latex.sty can be used with LaTeX version 2.09, recommended is the use of elsart.cls with LaTeX 2e. This offers all common options for referencing, including figs. etc present in an up to date LaTeX setup. Full informationmay be found on Elsevier's web page http://authors.elsevier.com/, through the Index in the right-hand menu.
