Papers are formatted using reStructuredText and the compiled version should be no longer than 7 pages, including figures. Here are the steps to produce a paper:
-
Fork the 2012 branch of the
scipy_proceedings <https://github.com/scipy/scipy_proceedings>__ repository on GitHub. -
Check out the 2012 branch (
git checkout 2012). -
An example paper is provided in
papers/00_vanderwalt. Create a new directorypapers/firstname_surname, copy the example paper into it, and modify to your liking. -
Run
./make_paper.sh papers/firstname_surnameto compile your paper to PDF (requires LaTeX, docutils, Python--see below). The output appears inoutput/firstname_surname/paper.pdf. -
Once you are ready to submit your paper, file a pull request on GitHub. Please ensure that you file against the correct branch--your branch should be named 2012, and the pull-request should be against our 2012 branch.
-
Please do not modify any files outside of your paper directory.
Pull requests are to be submitted by July 15th, but modifications may be pushed until August 12th.
