1 Introduction

This document describes the sw option for the SVJour L^{A}TEX 2ε document class. For details on manuscript handling and the review process we refer to the Instructions for authors in the printed journal. For style matters please consult previous issues of the journal.

2 Initializing the class

As explained in the main Users guide you can begin a document for Shock Waves by including

   \documentclass[sw]{svjour}

as the first line in your text. All other options are also described in the main User guide.

3 Changes to the SVJour class standard

As the abstract of your article is to appear in the header section, it must be coded before the \maketitle command. Do not use the \begin{abstract} … \end{abstract} environment of standard L^{A}TEX. Instead proceed as you do for the other front matter declarations:

\abstract {⟨Text of your abstract⟩}

The standard key words are also part of the frontmatter please code them at the end but still inside the \abstract{...} area.

4 Changed bibliographic environment

The mechanism of explicit labels in \bibitem commands has been changed to reflect those labels only when the actual bibliographic source is \cited in the text. In the reference list they are simply suppressed. If you do not use the optional parameter of the \bibitem commands the behaviour is as normal: the items are numbered consecutively for their citation in the text – the reference list itself has no numbers.

This change can be canceled by using the option oribibl – particular useful when you are using BibTEX that relies on an unchanged bibliographic/citation apparatus.

There is the additional option bibself that supresses the bracing of \cite commands in the text altogether. With it you can let L^{A}TEX incorporate the content of a \bibitems label smoothly into the flow of your text (see the example file for demonstration).

Again we strongly suggest to use the \bibitem - \cite as well as the \label - \ref mechanism of L^{A}TEX for your cross references throughout your document.
