** jss: A Document Class for Publications in the **
**        Journal of Statistical Software        **
***************************************************

This zip-archive contains the pdfLaTeX infrastructure for
publications in the Journal of Statistical Software. The files
  - jss.cls (LaTeX2e class)
  - jss.bst (BibTeX style)
  - jsslogo.jpg (JPG logo)
need to be included in your search path (local working directory,
texmf or localtexmf tree).

A manual how to use jss.cls is provided in
  - jss.pdf.

Furthermore, there are templates for articles, code snippets, book
reviews and software reviews available in 
  - article.tex
  - codesnippet.tex
  - bookreview.tex
  - softwarereview.tex

JSS papers should be prepared using JSS styles; the submission of
the final version needs to include the full sources (.tex, .bib, and
all graphics). A quick check for the most important aspects of the
JSS style is given below; authors should make sure that all of them
are addressed in the final version:  
  - The manuscript can be compiled by pdfLaTeX.
  - \proglang, \pkg and \code have been used for highlighting
    throughout the paper (including titles and references), except
    where explicitly escaped.
  - References are provided in a .bib BibTeX database and included
    in the text by \cite, \citep, \citet, etc.
  - Titles and headers are formatted as described in the JSS manual:
      - \title in title style,
      - \section etc. in sentence style,
      - all titles in the BibTeX file in title style.
  - Figures, tables and equations are marked with a \label and
    referred to by \ref, e.g., "Figure~\ref{...}".
  - Software packes are \cite{}d properly.

and the manual jss.pdf, in particular the style checklist in
Section 2.1.
