1 Introduction

The documentation in the Springer SVMult tool package is not intended to be

a general introduction to L

εor T

X. For this we refer you to [1–3] in the

section “Further Reading”.

Instead, the Springer SVMult tool package has been set up for those who are

familiar with the basics of L

X. The SVMult document class and its special

features were designed to facilitate the preparation of scientiﬁc monographs for

Springer according to Springer’s style requirements.

If in this tool package we refer to standard tools or packages that are not in-

stalled on your system, please consult the Comprehensive T

X Archive Network

(CTAN) at [4–6] in the section “Further Reading”.

The components of the SVMult tool package are:

•The Springer L

Xclasssvmult.cls (major version 5) and BiBTeX

styles spmpsci.bst, spphys.bst, spbasic.bst as well as the template

with preset class options, packages and coding examples;

Tip: Copy these ﬁles to your working directory, run L

εand produce

your own example *.dvi or *.pdf ﬁle; rename the template ﬁle as you see

ﬁt and use it for your own input.

•Instructions with style and coding instructions speciﬁc to contributed

books ;

Tip: Follow these instructions to set up the ﬁles, to typeset the text and

to obtain a consistent formal style; use these pages as checklists before

ﬁnally submitting the manuscript or print data.

•The Reference Guide describing the SVMult features independent of any

speciﬁc style requirements.

Tip: Use it as a reference if you need to alter or enhance the default

settings of the SVMult document class and the templates.

For volume editors only the SVMult tool package is enhanced by

•the editor instructions for compiling multiple contributions into a single

book.

2 Step-by-Step Instructions

The following sections give you detailed instructions on how to set up your

ﬁles and meet Springer’s speciﬁc style and layout requirements. Please try to

adhere to these standards right from the start and use them as a checklist before

submitting the manuscript or print data.

2.1 Initializing the Class Tip:

Use the pre-set

template

author.tex

To format a document for a contributed book enter

\documentclass{svmult}

at the beginning of your root ﬁle. This will set the text area to a \textwidth

of 117 mm or 27-3/4 pi pi and a \textheight of 191 mm or 45-1/6 pi plus a

\headsep of 12 pt (space between the running head and text).

N.B. Trim size (physical paper size) is 155 ×235 mm or 61

8×91

4in.

Please refer to Sect. 2.6 for “overwide” ﬂoating objects.

For a description of all possible class options provided by SVMult see the

“SVMult Class Options” section in the enclosed Reference Guide.

2.2 Required Packages

The following selection in the past has proved to be essential in preparing a fully

formatted (i.e. ready-to-print) manuscript.

Invoke the required packages with the command

\usepackage{}

mathptmx.sty deﬁnes Times Roman as default text font, and provides

maths support using glyphs from the Symbol, Chancery

and Computer Modern fonts together with letters, etc.,

from Times Roman

helvet.sty use Helvetica as sans serif together with the Times font

family as default text body font

courier.sty use Courier as typewriter font together with the Times

font family as default text body font

graphicx.sty is a powerful tool for including, rotating, scaling and

sizing graphics ﬁles (preferably *.eps ﬁles)

makeidx.sty provides and interprets the command \printindex

which “prints” the index ﬁle *.ind (compiled by an index

processor) on a chosen page

multicol.sty balances out the columns on the last page of, for exam-

ple, your subject index

footmisc.sty together with style option [bottom] places all footnotes

at the bottom of the page

For a description of other useful packages and SVMult class options, special

commands and environments tested with the SVMult document class see the

Reference Guide.

2.3 The Contribution Header

To format the header of your contribution enter

\title*{Title of Contribution}

\author{Name of Author}

\institute{Name of Author \at Name, Address of Institute, \email{name@email.address}

\maketitle

immediately after the \begin{document} command.

Normally the running heads are produced automatically by the \maketitle

command using the contents of \title (for right hand or recto pages) and

\author (on left hand or verso pages). If the result is too long for the page

header (running head) the class will produce an error message and you will be

asked to supply a shorter version. This is done using the syntax

\titlerunning{text}

\authorrunning{ﬁrst author et al.}

These commands must be entered before \maketitle.

For a more detailed description of the relevant commands, see the global Ref-

erence Guide.

2.4 Fine-Tuning Your Text

As a general rule, text, formulae, ﬁgures, and tables are typed using the standard

εcommands. The standard sectioning commands are also used.

Nevertheless, in the SVMult document class we have newly deﬁned and en-

hanced a few text mode commands (e.g.\dedication,\preface,\abstract*;

description environment,.. . ). Please refer to the Reference Guide.

Always use the L

X commands \label and \ref for cross-referencing to chap-

ters, sections, theorems, equations, ﬁgures, and tables. In contrast to any hard-

coded references these soft-coded cross-references can automatically be con-

verted to hyperlinks for any possible electronic version of your book.

Abstracts. Each chapter or contribution should be preceded by an abstract (10–

15 lines long) that summarizes the content. The abstract will appear online at

www.SpringerLink.com and be available with unrestricted access. This allows

unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete chapter.

As a general rule the abstracts will not appear in the printed version of the

book unless it is the style of the particular volume or that of the series to

which the book belongs. Please use the new Springer command \abstract* for

typesetting the text of the online abstracts and include them with the source

ﬁles of the manuscript. Use the plain \abstract command if the abstract is

also to appear in the printed version of the book.

Headings. In English texts all words of a heading have a leading capital letter

except for articles (a, an, the), conjunctions and prepositions of up to four letters

(e.g. on, of, at, to, by, and, or, but, from, with). If a heading needs more than

one line please break the line at an appropriate place and position the binding

word (conjunction, preposition, article, ...) at the beginning of the new line.

It looks nicer if every heading is followed by at least a short passage of text in

order to avoid simply listing headings of diﬀerent levels.

If the running heads at the tops of the pages do not ﬁt into the space al-

located to them, a shorter version has to be speciﬁed with the commands

\authorrunning{} and \titlerunning{}.

If a diﬀerent version of your contribution title is to be used for the table of

contents use the command \toctitle{title for table of contents}.

Emphasizing Text. Use the command \emph{} to emphasize (i.e. italicize) a

selection of individual words.

Theorem-Like Environments. For individual text structures such as theorems,

deﬁnitions, examples, etc., the SVMult document class provides numerous

predeﬁned environments (numbered as well as unnumbered) which conform with

the speciﬁc Springer layout requirements. Sections 2.7 and 3.3 of the Reference

Guide give a complete list of the built-in environments as well as a description

of the new SVMult mechanism for deﬁning your own environments.

Special Expressions. If a special, e.g. non-English, expression is used repeatedly,

please spell it consistently throughout the book. Latin terms, e.g. “in situ”,

should not be italicized.

List of Symbols. Please add a list of symbols or short deﬁnitions or explanations.

(Even if this is not to be included in the ﬁnal book, it’s a very useful tool for

the copyeditor who may work on your manuscript.)

Abbreviations. Please set abbreviations such as “e.g.”, “cf.”, “et al.” and “i.e.”

upright. Only abbreviations that can be found in a dictionary may be used

without deﬁnition. Particular terminology that is often abbreviated should be

deﬁned on ﬁrst usage.

Dashes. In Springer books we diﬀerentiate between three diﬀerent types of

dashes, which have to be coded individually:

1. To produce a simple hyphen, used to connect or separate dependent parts

of a word such as preﬁxes, or in compound adjectives, please enter a single

keyboard hyphen without any space on either side (-).

2. To produce an en-dash, enter two single hyphens with no space on either

side to stand in place of “to” in ranges, as in “Fig. 3a–c” or “... in the range

10–20 eV”, or to connect two names or words that are independent of each

other, such as “... the electron–photon interaction”. However, double-

barrelled names like Levi-Civita are connected with simple hyphens.

3. To produce an em-dash—e.g. to denote an insertion within a sentence—

please enter three hyphens without any spaces on either side (---).

Quotation Marks. Please use the following commands to create English-

language quotation marks: ‘word’ gives ‘word’ in the dvi ﬁle, and ‘‘word"

gives “word” in the dvi ﬁle.

Page Breaks. Please see to it that you always have at least two lines of the

same paragraph at the foot or head of a page. So-called “orphans” or “widows”

reduce the readability of your text.

Cross-References Within Text. Please always give a \label where possible

and use \ref for cross-referencing. Such cross-references may then easily be

converted to hyperlinks in any electronic version of your book.

The \cite and \bibitem mechanism for bibliographic references is also oblig-

atory.

Cross-references to particular sections, ﬁgures, tables, equations and the like

should be written in full when they stand at the beginning of a sentence, but in

any other position within the text they should be abbreviated as follows:

(Chapter) Chap./Chaps. (Section) Sect./Sects. (Figure) Fig./Figs.

(Page) p./pp. (Volume) Vol./Vols.

Exceptions:

1. “Table” should always be written out in full—at the beginning of a sen-

tence as well as within it, and please use “Tables” for the plural form.

2. When referring to equations the abbreviations “Eq./Eqs.” may be used—

but as a general it is suﬃcient to use the equation number set in parenthe-

ses, e.g. (1.45). At the beginning of a sentence you should write “Equation

(1.45)”.

3. References are cited in the text simply as numbers in square brackets,

e.g. [165], do not use the abbreviations “Ref./Refs.” in the middle of a

sentence. Only at the beginning of a sentence should you write “Reference

[165]”.

Spelling Checker. If possible, please use a computer program for verifying the

spelling of your text prior to submitting your manuscript. Depending on your

operating system you may choose from a number of freely available programs

designed for L

Xcode. AlistofsuchL

X-aware spelling checkers can be

found at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=spell

2.5 Fine-Tuning Mathematics

As a general rule, text, formulae, ﬁgures, and tables are typed using the standard

εcommands. The standard sectioning commands are also used.

Nevertheless, in the SVMult document class we have some newly deﬁned and

enhanced math mode commands. Please refer to the Reference Guide.

Always give a \label where possible and use \ref for cross-referencing. Such

cross-references may then be converted to hyperlinks in any electronic version

of your book.

Please set mathematical expressions and formulae within the running text in

math mode, i.e. $...$, so that the desired spaces are set automatically. In text

mode please put a small space \, between a number and its unit.

Displayed Formulae will automatically be centered.

Equation Arrays. In order to get a readable layout for your equation arrays we

recommend that you use the L

X environment eqnarray. This will automati-

cally use optimal line spaces and line breaks. If an equation spans more than one

line place the equals sign at the beginning of the second (or subsequent) line(s);

binary operators such as +, −,∗, etc. should also appear at the beginning of

the second or subsequent lines of an array, and the line should be indented to

the right of the equals sign in the line before.

If you want to sub-number individual lines of your equation array you may use

the style subeqnarray.sty. For a description see Sect. 3.1 in the Reference

Guide.

Please punctuate displayed equations in the same way as any other written

statement and insert \; before the punctuation to add a little extra space.

Multiplication. Where a multiplication sign is essential use the command \times

(×), not \cdot (·). The \cdot is reserved for vector dot products.

Vectors. Use the command \vec{v} to depict a vector. By default, vectors will

be set bold face upright.

To set vectors bold face italic – as is common in physics texts – use the class

option vecphys.

Tensors. Use the newly deﬁned command \tens{A} to depict an ordinary

second-order tensor (without indices).

Chemical Symbols and Formulae should be set upright. Where a “–” is used to

combine parts of chemical compounds, please use an en-dash; see Sect. 2.4.

Computer Code. To display computer code in your book, we recommend the

use of the verbatim environment.

Abbreviations such as Ord, Var, Ker, const., etc. should be set upright.

Physical units (and their preﬁxes) should correspond to the SI standards and

be set upright. Always put a ﬁxed space \, between a number and its unit,

and between elements of units. Both the “... 3 km s−1...” (note space between

diﬀerent units; please do not use a middot) and “... 3 km/s ...” styles are

acceptable, but please settle for one choice and use it consistently. In headers

in tables please use the “v(m/s)” or “v(m s−1)” styles, i.e. use parentheses,

not brackets. Please use “%” without a space, e.g. “100%”, and use the degree

sign without a space, e.g. “19◦”. For Celsius use “100◦C”, i.e. no spaces.

Greek Letters. By default the SVMult document class depicts Greek letters as

italics because they are mostly used to symbolize variables. However, when used

as operators, abbreviations, physical units, etc., they should be set upright. For

example, when Δ (\varDelta) is used to refer to an inﬁnitesimal amount or μ

(\umu)isusedtodenotemicro.

All upper-case Greek letters have been deﬁned in the document class in an

upright version. The fonts are taken from the T

EX alphabet. Use the command

preﬁx \var... followed by the upper-case name of the Greek letter to obtain

an upright upper-case Greek letter.

A number of lower-case Greek letters have been deﬁned in the document class

in an upright version: α,β,χ,δ,γ,μ,ν,π,τ. The letters are taken from

the PostScript Symbol font. Use the command preﬁx \u... with the lower-

case name of the Greek letter to set it upright. Please refer to Sect. 2.6 in the

Reference Guide.

Variables should be represented by a unique single character and always, i.e.

in math mode as well as in the text, be set in italics. If possible please use

\varepsilon for and \varrho for ρ.

Exponential terms with long exponents or with exponents containing subscripts

or superscripts should be set as “exp(...)”.

Subscripts and superscripts should always appear upright (use \mathrm{ } in

math mode) when they are abbreviations. If you need to depict a vector, please

also use the syntax \vec{ }. The font size will automatically be adjusted.

The Diﬀerential d, exponential eandimaginary i should be set upright in

Springer books. Use the newly deﬁned commands \D,\E or \eul and \I or

\imag.

Fractions in displayed equations should be coded with \frac. When they appear

within exponents, running text or narrow tables, they should be set with a slash.

Otherwise the font size will be too small to be easily read.

Delimiters should be large enough to completely enclose their content – but no

larger. We recommend using dynamic L

X input commands, e.g.\left[ or

\right},\langle or \rangle,\left|,\right|,etc.

2.6 Figures, Tables and Their Captions

In general, text, formulae, ﬁgures and tables are typed using the standard

εcommands. The standard sectioning commands are also used.

Nevertheless, in the SVMult document class we have deﬁned new commands

and environments, and in some cases, enhanced standard environments. Please

refer to the enclosed Reference Guide.

Always give a \label where possible and use \ref for cross-referencing. Such

cross-references may then be converted to hyperlinks in any possible electronic

version of your book.

Figures. Figures and their captions by default are set ﬂushleft with the cap-

tion placed beneath the ﬁgure. If the ﬁgure width is smaller than 78 mm, use

the command sidecaption to align the caption with the base of the ﬁgure

when the ﬁgure is positioned at the bottom of the page, or use the command

sidecaption[t] when the ﬁgure is positioned at the top of the page .

“Overwide” ﬁgures should be reduced to the normal page width, or if it improves

the readability, may protrude into the page margin by a maximum of 5 mm or

1picaoneachside.

Color Figures. Despite the fast technical progress in digital printing the repro-

duction of color ﬁgures is still very costly in the ﬁeld of scientiﬁc publishing. In

general any colour ﬁgures will be converted into b/w ﬁgures or graytones for

the printed version of the book. Only upon explicit agreement will Springer

reproduce color ﬁgures in the printed version of the book.

Digital Illustrations. Whenever possible illustrations (photos and drawings)

should be supplied in digital form – this will simplify production, provided a

few basic rules are followed.

For scanned line ﬁgures the minimum resolution in the ﬁnal print size is 1200 dpi.

For scanned photos, 300 dpi in the ﬁnal size is suﬃcient.

Image Processing. If illustrations are to appear in grayscale or black and white,

do not produce them in color. Color ﬁelds often convert to screens that are al-

most indistinguishable from one another. Instead of screens, whenever possible

please use cross-hatching, stippling, and other dot and line patterns to diﬀer-

entiate among elements in an illustration. If screens must be used, they must

be between 15% and 60%. Screens must be diﬀerentiated from one another by

at least 15%. The lowest line weight is 0.5 pt in the ﬁnal print size (approx.

0.15 mm).

Grids and details within the ﬁgures must be clearly readable and may not

overlap.

Lettering. To add lettering, it is best to use a sans serif font; Helvetica is

preferred. The font size should be approx. 2–3 mm (8–10 pt) in ﬁnal print.

Avoid eﬀects such as shading, outline letters, etc. Lettering should not be

added until after scanning, i.e. it should be added to the graphics ﬁle. Please

do not insert any ﬁgure legends or ﬁgure headings in your illustration ﬁle.

Further Instructions. Please ﬁnd more detailed instructions about ﬁgure and

graphic sizing, placement, labeling, screenshots, halftones, shading, etc. at

http://www.springer.com >Our services for: authors >Author Guidelines

>Preparing Illustrations.

Figures should be in eps format with fonts embedded, without preview and with

the so-called bounding box adjusted to the actual content of the ﬁgure. Use the

standard L

X “graphicx” package to include your graphics ﬁles.

Tables. By default, tables and their captions are justiﬁed. Please make sure

that every table is preceded by a caption.

The layout of your tables should not contain any vertical lines. The header

of the table should not contain any extra lines. “Overwide” tables should be

reduced to the normal page width, or, if this is not possible, should not exceed

the page width by more than 5 mm. Please ﬁnd coding examples in the enclosed

sample ﬁles.

Captions. A caption should read easily. It follows regular text rules for abbrevi-

ation, hyphenation, capitalization, and punctuation , however, it does not have

end punctuation.

Should a ﬁgure consist of several parts, please set the names of the parts in bold

face type inside the caption, e.g. Fig. 1.1 General explanation. aindividual

description. bindividual description.

Should you want to explain special line formats, etc. used in the ﬁgure, then

please set their description in italics, e.g. Fig. 1.1 In the upper edge the

phenomenon is illustrated (dashed line).

2.7 References

References may be cited in the text either by number (preferred) or by au-

thor/year. The reference list should ideally be sorted in alphabetical order –

even if reference numbers are used for the their citation in the text.

Please make sure that all references from the list are cited in the text. Those

not cited should be moved to a separate Further Reading section or chapter.

In mathematical texts references are often labelled as author-year acronyms.

In order to achieve this simply give an optional argument to the \bibitem

command. Always use \bibitem and \cite for cross-referencing.

When producing your bibliography please make sure that the data is complete

(name and initial of author, year of publication, book title, publisher’s name

and place, journal name, volume number, page numbers) and up to date (e.g.

edition number).

If there are several works by the same author, the following order should be

used:

1. all works by the author alone, ordered chronologically by year of publica-

tion

2. all works by the author with a coauthor, ordered alphabetically by coau-

thor

3. all works by the author with several coauthors, ordered chronologically by

year of publication.

Always use the standard abbreviation of a journal’s name according to the ISSN

List of Title Word Abbreviations,seehttp://www.issn.org/en/node/344

The styling of references depends on the subject of your book:

•The two recommended styles for references in books on mathematical,

physical, statistical and computer sciences aredepictedinthereference

section of the example pdf ﬁles [1–5] and [6–10]. If you use BiBTeX for

generating your reference list please use one of the two Springer styles

spmpsci.bst or spphys.bst.

•Examples of the most commonly used reference style in books on Psychol-

ogy, Social Sciences are depicted in the reference section of the example

pdf ﬁles [11–15].

•Examples for references in books on Humanities, Linguistics, Philosophy

are depicted in the reference section of the example pdf ﬁles [16–20].

•Examples of the basic Springer style used in publications on a wide range of

subjects such as Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Geosciences,

Life Sciences, Medicine, Biomedicine are depicted in the reference section

of the example pdf ﬁles [21–25]. If you use BiBTeX for generating your

reference list please use the Springer style spbasic.bst.

For your own input follow the syntax of the corresponding style examples in the

pre-set template. Tip:

Use the pre-set

templates

Please make sure that, in the individual reference citations, the initials of names

do not stand alone. Please connect them to their surname with the help of the

tilda ~so that they will not be separated from each other when L

Xbreaks

the line. The same applies to volume or page numbers.

For a description of SVMult enhancements to the bibliography environment

refer to the enclosed Reference Guide.

2.8 Index

Please make sure that your entries for the book’s general subject index are coded

with the command \index{} and please check the output for any redundancy

before submitting your manuscript ﬁles.

For more information on generating an index see [1].

3 Submitting your Manuscript
