Name of contribution: achemso

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/achemso
Summary description: Support for submissions to American Chemical Society journals
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
The achemso bundle, version 3
---------------------------------------------------------------
The achemso bundle includes a series of files for supporting
submission to the American Chemical Society. The current
bundle includes:
- achemso.cls, a class for writing article
- achemso.sty, a more generally-useful package following
the ACS standards
- natmove.sty, a small support package to modify the
behaviour of natbib
- achemso.bst and biochem.bst, two BibTeX style files which
between them cover all ACS journal styles
---------------------------------------------------------------
Version 3 is a complete re-write of the package. This is now
the *official* class for LaTeX submissions to the ACS. The
files have been tested by the publishers and work for
submission. See:
http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/general/tex.html
for details.
The changes mean that users moving from version 2 should read
the documentation very carefully. The BibTeX styles now
*require*:
- natbib
- mciteplus
while the package and class also *requires* notes2bib (and
natmove). The recommended method for using the BibTeX styles
is to load them using the package, i.e.
usepackage[options]{achemso}
as this provides a customisable interface and also ensures
the correct packages are loaded.
