Create project in app

Following the official tutorial, I create a single-column paper template for general use. You can use it for papers published on SSRN etc.

How to use

Use as an template package

Typst integrated the template with their official package manager. You can use it as the other third-party packages.

You only need to enter the following command in the terminal to initialize the template.

typst init @preview/ssrn-scribe

If will generate a subfolder ssrn-scribe including the main.typ file in the current directory with the latest version of the template.

Mannully use

  1. Download the template or clone the repository.

  2. generate your bibliography file using .biblatex and store the file in the same directory of the template.

  3. modify the main.typ file in the subfolder /template and compile it. Note: You should have paper_template.typ and main.typ in the same directory.

In the template, you can modify the following parameters:

  • Font: You can choose the font that you like. The default font is Times New Roman. You can also use Palatino by uncommenting the line font: "palatino", // "Times New Roman"
  • Fontsize: You can choose the font size that you like. The default font size is 11pt. You can also use 12pt or 10pt by uncommenting the line fontsize: 12pt, // 11pt
  • Author: You can add as many authors as you like. But you need to include four parameters for each author: name, affiliation, email, and note within parentheses. If you don’t have the information, you can leave it blank.
    (
    name: "",
    affiliation: "",
    email: "",
    note: "",
    ),
  • Abstract: You can add your abstract with [Your abstract].
  • Acknowledgment: You can add your acknowledgment with [Your acknowledgment ].
  • Bibliography: You can add your reference BibLaTex:
    bibliography: bibliography("bib.bib", title: "References", style: "apa"),
