Journal targets
12 publisher templates. Each one is the publisher's own document class with the
options their author guide specifies, not an imitation of it, which is why the pre-flight
limits differ per target as well.
ACM
ACM conference (acmart sigconf)
acmart in sigconf mode: two columns, ACM reference format. The format for SIGKDD, CHI, CIKM and most ACM conferences.

- acmart refuses to typeset sigconf without a conference name; give one or foliom writes a placeholder.
- ACM requires CCS concepts for camera-ready papers. foliom does not invent them.
- Ask for the anonymous version when submitting for double-blind review.
ACM journal (acmart acmsmall)
acmart in acmsmall mode: single column, the format for ACM Transactions.

ships with TeX Live
- Needs
- journal-name
- Elsevier wants the single-column preprint form for review, not the typeset two-column form.
- elsarticle's keyword environment is singular and its separator is \sep; foliom writes both.
IEEE
IEEE Transactions / journal
IEEEtran in journal mode: two columns, affiliations in a title footnote, running heads. The format for IEEE Transactions and IEEE Access.
- Identifier
- ieee-journal
- Class
- IEEEtran [journal]
- Engine

- Needs
- journal-name
- IEEE requires the corresponding author's affiliation in the title footnote, which foliom writes from the manuscript's affiliation lines.
IEEE conference proceedings
IEEEtran in conference mode: two columns, author blocks side by side, numbered references. The format for ICASSP, IJCNN and most IEEE conferences.

IOP Publishing
IOP Publishing journal
The current IOP template: single column, ORCID badges beside the author names, and the publisher's own declaration macros. Used by Journal of Physics and the rest of the IOP portfolio.
- Identifier
- iop
- Class
- iopjournal
- Engine
- xetex
- Class files
-
vendored from the publisher · https://publishingsupport.iopscience.iop.org/questions/latex-template/
- IOP requires an ORCID for every author, not only the corresponding one.
- iopjournal's own [anonymous] option removes the author names, the affiliations and the acknowledgements, which is more than most classes do.
- IOP asks that the abstract be complete in itself: no undefined abbreviations and no reference to a table, figure, equation or citation number.
- The class supplies \ack, \funding, \roles and \data macros for the declarations; foliom fills them from the manuscript.
MDPI
MDPI journal
The MDPI template: single column submission form with the publisher's own front matter macros. Used by Sensors, Applied Sciences, Sustainability and the rest of the MDPI portfolio.
- Identifier
- mdpi
- Class
- Definitions/mdpi [journal, article, submit, pdftex, moreauthors]
- Engine
- pdflatex
- Class files
-
vendored from the publisher · https://www.mdpi.com/authors/latex
- MDPI's template puts the title, authors, abstract and keywords in the preamble, before \begin{document}.
- Replace the journal= class option with the target journal's own short name before submitting.
- This profile needs pdfTeX, so it compiles in the container rather than with tectonic.
Springer Nature
Springer LNCS proceedings
Lecture Notes in Computer Science: single column, keywords inside the abstract, ORCIDs on author names. The format for most CS conference proceedings Springer publishes.
