Creating the two column design of a scientific paper

  • 772

I want to create a document similar to the format of the following paper:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84207818/Neural-network-based-PHY-layer-key-exchange-for-wireless-communications.pdf

The above format is the design of a scientific paper, thus are there any guides or ways to create a document with a similar design? In TeX, libreoffice or anything?

libreoffice

    If you decide to go with LaTeX, you can get pre-made templates for conference proceedings and IEEE transactions (journals) from the IEEE website. They also have Microsoft Word 2003 'templates' there (really just doc files) which should work to some extent in LibreOffice, at least to provide a basic format you can start with.

    Everyone will have their own favorite TeX/LaTeX environment - personally I'm using TeXmaker at the moment (which you can find in the repository). To use the IEEE templates you will probably also need to install the texlive-fonts-recommended package.

  2. Yes, it's possible in LibreOffice Writer by using sections (Insert -> Section).
