4 This work has the LPPL maintenance status author-maintained . better way to format your submissionHOMESUPPORTRESOURCES built of the commands in the LATEX classes/kernel, which can possiblycause surprising clashes with other contributed LATEX packages; provides preprint document formatting by default, and optionally formatsthe document as per the final style of models1+,3+and5+of Elsevierjournals; some easier ways for formattinglistandtheoremenvironments are pro-vided while people can still ; the main citation processing package which can comprehen-sively handle all kinds of citations and works perfectly Long title pages are processed correctly in preprint and final package is available at author resources page at Elsevier ( ).

5 It can also be found in any of the nodes of theComprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN), one of the primary nodes is the composite class with documentation is the LATEX installer file. When we compile LATEX it provides the class file, stripping off all the documen-tation from the*.dtxfile. The class may be moved or copied to a place, usually,$TEXMF/tex/latex/ Elsevier /, or a folder which will be read by LATEX during doc-ument compilation. The TEX file database needs updation after moving/copyingclass file. Usually, we use commands likemktexlsrortexhashdepending uponthe distribution and operating system.

This is always single column style.(4)3p formats the article to the look and feel of the final format of model3+ journals. If the journal is a two column model, usetwocolumnoption incombination.(5)5p formats for model 5+ journals. This is always two column style.(6)authoryear author-year citation style If you want to addextra options , you may use the options as a comma delimitedstrings as argument to\biboptionscommand.

8 An example would be:\biboptions{longnamesfirst,angle,semi colon}(7)number numbered citation style. Extra options can be loaded with\biboptionscommand.(8)sort&compresss orts and compresses the numbered citations. For example, citation [1,2,3] will become [1 3].
