LATEX For Efficient Scientific Presentation- an Illustration Using a Simple Example
This article discusses the use of LATEX as a tool for the preparation of scientific presentations. LATEX is widely used in computer and mathematics communities partly because it is well known for generating beautiful mathematical equations. The use in biological sciences so far seems to not be widespread. However, as biological sciences become more and more interdisciplinary, the use of LATEX is likely to increase.

Managing Biological Literature Using a BIBTEX-Based Journal Name Database
This is a detailed instruction of using a BIBTEX-based journal names/abbreviations database to assist writing technical documents in biological sciences. The database is readily usable to meet the requirements for journal name format by many of today's leading scientific publishers. We provide a simple LATEX template so as to facilitate an automated and accurate handling of the expanding biological literature. Also included is an eco-physiological literature database containing bibliographic information of 835 papers. An overview article highlighting the main features of this project has been published by Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship, Number 58, 2009 ( http://www.istl.org/09-summer/ )
