Author Guide

• Minimize committing binary objects (like pngs). The preference is to generate them with a reproducible script.
• Use booktabs for the table formatting.
• Use BibLatex with the natbib option and numbered citation settings for variations on citations.
• subcaption is available for subfigures
• Use siunitx for units (note the \kph and \mps custom definitions)

Generating the bib file

There is a shared Zotero collection that is used to generate the bib file using the Zotero betterbibtex extension. Export the collection with the "Better BibLaTex" option to get a valid bib file and overwrite the references.bib file with the export to update the bib file.

Link to the collection (need to be in the mechmotum group):
