Academic Publishing Solution Based on LATEX Class Package Implementation for ITMSOC Journal

Abstract

© 2018 IEEE. The success keys of publication are the righteousness and precision of both content and formats required by many institutions, especially Information Technology Management program, Mahidol University. In the fields of publication, working on different versions of word processing and/or operating system software would deteriorate the publishing format quality. An implementation of LATEX class package for ITMSOC Journal is proposed to serve the requirement of organization due to the high precise format for publishing. Based on minimal design, our package is derived from Elsevier class and template by combining into a single file of ITMSOC class, modifying the new logo and banner, and eliminating the complicated instructions for more convenience in utilization. Partially taken from IEEE class, a feature of biography with profile picture is also applied for the emotional value improvement of publication. With the powerful Linux shell scripts and modular design of file folder system, this package supports us to manage the files in it. The proposed LATEX package is shown to be viable for implementation of LATEX Journal handcraft with the simple and powerful user experience design.
