Author guidelines for LaTeX manuscript preparation for
Wiley journals in New Journal Design (NJD)
1 Introduction
This document offers step-by-step instructions to prepare LaTeX files using the Wiley NJDv5 LaTeX template. It
has been created to help authors prepare LaTeX manuscripts for journals formatted in New Journal Design (NJD),
which is Wiley’s standard article layout. See the LaTeX page on Wiley’s Author Services site where this template
is hosted for details about journals using NJD and their font, number of columns, and reference style for authors
who would like to simulate these using LaTeX. If the journal to which you want to submit your manuscript is not
using NJD, check with the Editorial Office of that journal to ask if they have their own journal-specific LaTeX
template. It is possible to use it for journals not using NJD even though it won’t look like the final typeset article.
This LaTeX template provides standard coding which Wiley’s vendors can successfully convert to XML for
typesetting purposes. (Please be aware that manuscript files will be converted by our typesetters into the journal’s
final specifications for typeset articles, regardless of the reference, font and column number format selected in the
LaTeX manuscript.)
This NJDv5 LaTeX template has been created to (1) provide proper guidance to simplify the process, (2)
simulate approximately how the article will look once published, and (3) reduce time and manual intervention
during the production process which converts the submitted LaTeX manuscript into the journal’s final specifications
for publication. The template is based on the standard article.cls class file and supports almost all the functionality
of that class file.
In the following sections we describe how to install the template package in your system and how to lay out
your code using this template to reproduce the typographical look of Wiley NJD journals. If you need support with
it, please email latexsupport@wiley.com.
2 Getting started
The WileyNJDv5.cls class file should run on any standard LaTeX installation.
Installation. First make sure you have at least MiKTeX 2.9 (21.2) or TeXLive 2021 installed on your computer
or use the latest version of your LaTeX editor. Then make sure the WileyNJDv5 template.zip package file is
downloaded and extracted to a folder on your computer. The .zip file contains the following:
– WileyNJDv5.cls
– supporting style (.sty) files
– bibliography style (.bst) files based on Wiley reference style
– bibliography (.bib) files based on Wiley reference style sample format
Usage. Once this template package is properly installed or copied to the local disk, use the class file WileyNJDv5.cls
to create a LaTeX manuscript. Please make sure that your manuscript follows these guidelines.
