Preamble and Frontmatter

  1. When I compile the pdf with elsarticle, I always get a blank fist page and numbered 1. The rest of the document is after that, but starts at page 2.
  2. I have a problem with the document class elsarticle. In the final document, the first page is empty except for a comma, and the title. The abstract begins in the second page. With elsart.cls I had not this problem.
  3. I am using elsarticle and having problems with getting the abstract into the PDF.


Mainmatter

  1. I am preparing my paper using elsarticle.cls and LaTeX. Can you tell me how to compress lists of at least three consecutive numerical citations that occur together in the text?
  2. I am using elsarticle.cls package for my paper submission. It really works very well, but I cannot use natbib package with sort&compress option, an option clash error appears when I use it. In such case, the references citation appears like [30, 40, 15, 31, 32, 4] rather than [4,15,30-32,40] as the ordinary article class appears.
  3. I send you my manuscript.tex with bib file and the figure. When I compiled my TeX file, it is right, I got the pdf, but when I submitted my paper on the journal website the pdf which is building is completely wrong with only error messages.
  4. I am using elsarticle.cls package and I want to put 2 subfigures side by side and want to caption them seperately and also want to incorporate a global caption.
  5. How should I code dedication?

Backmatter

  1. I just can't get the references and bibliography typeset in harvard style (i.e., author-year format).
  2. I am using `elsarticle-harv.bst'

General questions

  3. I am preparing a paper for Chemical Engineering Science. I have downloaded required LaTeX package, however, I am confused about which reference style I should use for this journal? [Answer]
  4. I am using the template file (elsarticle-template-num). For the abstract part the paper asks for an MSC code. Where do I find that code for my paper? [Answer]
  5. From where can I download the soure files used to create elsdoc.pdf? [Answer]
  6. How do I create the line- and page-breaks as in DAM? Clearly, A4 differs from the DAM format.
