I wrote an Org mode template for a PLOS One journal article: http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/plos-one-template-worg.html It uses asynchronous export that gets initialized with a file that is tangled from the template. This should get you past the common problem of unexpected results because of "something in your setup." Because it is a self-contained project, it might be easier to understand what needs to be done to use Org mode to write scientific papers. hth, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
