This project can be used to get you quickly started on overleaf with a paper submitted to ASP.
If you're working on a research project with an undergrad this semester, I'd like to encourage you to consider having them write up their results to publish in the ASP's "Compendium of Undergraduate Research in Astronomy and Space Science", which is free and online-only. Writing the paper would be great experience for students.
An example paper by a UMD Astronomy student:
http://www.aspbooks.org/publications/525/057.pdf
which in ADS will show up as https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020ASPC..525...57H
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series (ASPCS) is now publishing a free online volume of undergraduate student research called "Compendium of Undergraduate Research in Astronomy and Space Science". The 4 - 6 page papers are written by undergrad researchers with their research supervisors as co-authors. As part of the ASP's Conference Series, the papers are posted within the NASA ADS so they may be accessed and cited. The papers are not refereed, so there is no extended time line of back-and-forth communication with a referee - the research supervisor is expected to ensure a reasonable scientific process and result.
This is a`great opportunity for students to reflect on the scientific importance of their research and to practice scientific writing. A short paper seems like an excellent ending for a summer or semester-long research project, so I strongly you to consider this for any students you are working with.
Makefile - useful outside of overleaf
README.md - this file
aasjournal.bst - backup bib style style
asp2021.bst - official bib style style
asp2021.sty - old style, for historic purposes
asp2023.sty - new style
aspauthor.tex - original ASP
copyrightform.doc - original ASP
main.bib - example bib entries
main.tex - example UMD style (edit this one)
pyplot.png - example plot
You can of course upload the files mentioned here, but my personal preference is to create an empty "new project" on overleaf, then grab the zip file from this repo, e.g.
wget https://github.com/astroumd/ASP_template1/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
and in overleaf.com
New Project -> Upload Project -> Select a .zip file
Unless making small modifications, my normal own workflow will grab a git version from overleaf, and I work on the laptop. Here is how you get the secret overleaf link:
Menu -> Git
after which this uniq URL can be cloned locally to your laptop, for example
git clone https://git.overleaf.com/6508854af54fe71911206296 MyPaper
After this the normal git commit/git push will keep your laptop version in sync with overleaf.
- converted CRLF files to proper unix files
- added a main.tex and main.bib with a UMD example to simplify your morphing
- added a Makefile, so "make" should do the job of creating the main.pdf file
- removed the ASPCS-MSWord-template.doc as this workflow is latex (overleaf) based.
