Welcome to the \VOLCANICA research article \latex template. If you are already comfortable using \latex and \bibtex, you can go ahead and use the blank template (blank-template.tex). (If you're editing on Overleaf, you might want to change the "Main document" in Menu > Settings. You can also right-click to rename "blank-template" to something more relevant)
Otherwise, this template contains a bit more information to help you get started using \latex as a word processing software. Any issues or questions, email editor@jvolcanica.org.
Volcanica uses three levels of headings, which can be defined using "section", "subsection", and "subsubsection" commands.
\section{A section}\label{sec:02}
This is the top level ("section"). Typically we recommend an Introduction > Methods > Results > Discussion > Conclusions structure, but feel free to be flexible here.
\subsection{A subsection}\label{sec:02a}
This is another level ("subsection").
\subsubsection{A third level}\label{sec:02aa}
This is a third-level section ("sub-subsection"). Notice that the sections have been given a label: this means we can refer to them later, using "autoref", e.g. \autoref{sec:02} or \autoref{sec:02a}. The autoref command can also be used to refer to figures, tables, and other items. Here's an example of how to include a single-column-width figure:
%------------------------------------------------------------
% Single column figure
%------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{figure}[!b] %[tbhp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{example-image} % inside { } should be the path to the image file
\caption{This is where a descriptive caption goes. A good idea is to include all your figures in a specific folder (e.g. "media") within the Overleaf project (or the same directory as the .tex file, if you are editing offline). The path to the figures then looks like "media/figure-1.pdf". PDF, SVG, or other vector graphics are preferred formats, but high-resolution image formats (e.g. PNG or JPG) are also acceptable.} % Include the figure caption here
\label{fig:01} % Include a unique label here, so you can refer to the figure
\end{figure}
%------------------------------------------------------------
Figure references look like this: \autoref{fig:01}. Figures should be sized according to whether they will cover one or two columns: 85 mm or 175 mm width, respectively. Maximum figure height is 200 mm. If you want to include a two-column figure; the command looks slightly different:
%------------------------------------------------------------
% Double column figure
%------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{figure*}[!t] %[tbhp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-a} % inside { } should be the path to the image file
\caption{This is where a descriptive caption goes.} % Include the figure caption here
\label{fig:02} % Include a unique label here, so you can refer to the figure
\end{figure*}
%------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to use mathematical symbols and short in-line equations, just wrap them in dollar signs: $mx +c$. Larger equations go in their own kind of special environment called, unsurprisingly, equation.
%------------------------------------------------------------
% Equation
%------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{equation}
S(\omega) = \frac{\alpha g^2}{\omega^5} \exp\Bigl[ -0.74\Bigl\{\frac{\omega U_\omega 19.5}{g}\Bigr\}^{\!-4}\,\Bigr]
\label{eq:01}\end{equation}
%------------------------------------------------------------
These can also be labelled and referred to (see \autoref{eq:01} above). Subequations can also be typeset, as shown in \autoref{eq:02} below.
%------------------------------------------------------------
% Sub-equations
%------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{subequations}
\begin{align}
v_x &= v_0 \cos(\theta)\exp\bigg(-\frac{g}{v_t}t\bigg) \label{eq:2a}\\[0.5ex]
v_y &=v_0\sin(\theta)\exp\bigg(-\frac{g}{v_t}t\bigg)-v_t\bigg[1-\exp\bigg(-\frac{g}{v_t}t\bigg)\bigg]. \label{eq:2b}\end{align}
\label{eq:02}
\end{subequations}
%------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Tables}
Here is a simple table.
%------------------------------------------------------------
%SIMPLE TABLE
%------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{table}[!thbp]
\centering
\caption{Caption goes up here.}
\begin{tabular}{
S[table-format=3.1] % S-type column aligns decimals
S[table-format=3.3] % x.y = #digits before and after decimal
S[table-format=2.2]
}
\toprule % toprule
{Parameter 1} & {Parameter 2} & {Parameter 3} \\ % text in an S-type column must be enclosed in { }
\midrule % midrule
3.8 & 0.003 & 15.91 \\
1.4 & 0.001 & 12.12 \\
21 & 0.018 & 81.43 \\
0.8 & 0.004 & 1.8 \\ [5pt] % additional space every four lines
4.0 & 0.004 & 14.76 \\
2.1 & 0.003 & 13.31 \\
3.7 & 0.006 & 16.48 \\
119 & 0.02 & 83.01 \\ [5pt]
3.0 & 0.001 & 15.2 \\
2.9 & 0.002 & 11.01 \\
\bottomrule % bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:01}
\end{table}
%------------------------------------------------------------
Tables can become quite complex. A great resource is \url{https://www.tablesgenerator.com/latex_tables}, where you can paste table data, or load in an Excel file, then copy the LaTeX output. Note that for two-column tables, the "table*" environment should be used, rather than the unstarred "table" environment. However, you might find that a formatted table is not the best environment for your data: providing a supplementary Excel (or equivalent) file with tabular data can be easier for you as the author and makes your data more easily accessed and re-used by others.
\section{Citations}
To cite other articles, you need a .bib file. This is a separate file (in the same folder as the .tex and .cls files) which contains all the necessary bibliographic information. Two good resources compiling a .bib file are \url{https://www.doi2bib.org/} and \url{https://scipython.com/apps/doi2bib/}. Both of these allow you to enter an article's DOI number and retrieve the bibtex entry (which you can copy/paste into the .bib file). Bibtex entries can also be obtained via Google Scholar, by clicking "cite" > "bibtex". However, GS \emph{doesn't} include DOI numbers, so you may want to add these manually. Many reference managers (e.g. Zotero) allow authors to export a .bib file. Once you have a .bib file, citations are simple, both in-line, such as \textcite{Farquharson2018}, or in parentheses \parencite{Kavanagh2022}. The reference list will be formatted and printed automatically. Note that you can refer to multiple citations at once \parencite[e.g.][among others]{Kavanagh2022, Siebert2015}.
\section{Useful commands}
If you are using a lot of isotopes or isotopic ratios, you can use the commands "iso" and "isorat", which give outputs like \iso{C}{14} and \isorat{O}{18}{16}. Chemistry can be typeset using the "ch" command, giving output like \ch{H2SO4} or \ch{[AgCl2]-}, or even \ch{KCr(SO4)2 * 12 H2O}. There is also an "okina" command, as in Hawai{\okina}i. Here are some Greek letters: $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\phi$, $\Omega$. If we use software, like \software{Eject!}, it will look like this, using the command "software" or its alias "sw". Same goes for \sw{DensityX}, \sw{ImageJ}, and \sw{VolCalc}. SI units can be typeset using the "SI" command (SI{value}{unit}), where unit is typed out: \SI{2600}{\kilo\gram\per\meter\cubed}. If there are symbols or commands you'd like to see incorporated in our templates, please reach out to farquharson@jvolcanica.org.
