LaTeX Workshops The GC will offer three workshops on typesetting with LaTeX, held by our LaTeX expert Martin Schwietzke. One will be introductory and two advanced. All GC students and DIW staff are invited to participate! Session 1: Friday, June 21 9:30 – 12:00 Pigou Room (1.2.027) Session 2: Friday, July 5 9:30 – 12:00 Schmoller Room (1.2.026) Session 3: Friday, July 19 9:30 – 12:00 Schmoller Room (1.2.026) The sessions are designed to build upon each other, but each deals with specific topics that are detailed below. You are welcome to pick the session(s) that best fit your interests and level of LaTeX proficiency. The workshops will be hands‐on, so please bring your laptop with LaTeX installed on it. Installation instructions for any operating system (Windows, OSX, Linux) can easily be found on the web. If you have trouble installing it don't hesitate to contact Martin (‐416, [email protected]). He is also happy to answer any question related to LaTeX in general and to his workshops in particular. If you don't have any experience with LaTeX don't be afraid and give it a try. It can save you a lot of time preparing your scientific publications once you got into it. Contents of Session 1 The first session will be for absolute novices and covers the basic topics for preparing documents in LaTeX. Basic syntax (“Hello World!”, document classes, packages, environments, comments, groups) . Paragraphs, justification, indentation, language package, baseline skipping . Formats, citations, footnotes, fonts, special characters . Table of contents, table of lists, table of figures . Formulas . Tables, lists, graphics . Structure your document and files Contents of Session 2 In the second session Martin will show you how to use the DIW‐LaTeX templates he made for us.

DIW Dissertation template Contents of Session 3 The last session will cover somewhat more advanced topics. How to easily create a bibliography (BibTeX, BibLaTeX, Biber) .

A Latex Package for Preparing Manuscripts for Submissions to the OA Journal Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Archite
ALATEX package for preparing manuscripts for submissions to the Open Access journal “Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling” (EMISAJ) Stefan Strecker ([email protected]) Martin Sievers ([email protected]) February 24, 2018 – Version 2.2.0 1 Introduction Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling (EMISAJ, formerly abbreviated as EMISA) is a publisher-independent, peer-reviewed open access journal (https://emisa-journal.org). EMISAJ is published by the German Informatics Society (GI) and is a publication of its Special Interest Group (SIG) on Modelling Business Information Systems (SIG MoBIS) and its SIG on Design Methods for Information Systems (SIG EMISA). SIG MoBIS has sponsored the development of the EMISAJ LATEX package currently maintained by Stefan Strecker ([email protected]) and Martin Sievers (martin.sievers@schoenerpub lizieren.de). It is based on earlier funded work by Martin Leidig. The EMISAJ LATEX package is provided for preparing manuscripts for submission to EMISAJ, and for preparing accepted submissions for publication as well as for typesetting the final document by the editorial office. For EMISAJ, manuscripts are submitted online and accepted articles are published online at https://emisa-journal.org in the Portable Document Format (PDF) format. The EMISAJ editorial office is run (alongside many other tasks and projects) by the two Editors-in-Chief assisted by doctoral students. Editorial work at EMISAJ is best described as a volunteer effort for the scientific community. You can assist us by preparing your manuscript following the instructions and style guidelines described in this document: Your work will be published quicker with less (typographical) glitches and will have a professional appearance.
