On January 5, SIAM will release a significantly modernized set of
LaTeX2e Macro files for use with 11 of our journals. A corresponding
upgrade to macros for our 4 exclusively online journals will follow.

The revised SIAM Standard Macro set includes such new features as
cross-referencing commands with hyperlinking, integrated support for
supplemental materials, the automatic generation of bookmarks
corresponding to section headings, and the ability to generate PDF
files directly with PDFLaTeX and PostScript via LaTeX and DVIPS.  A
“review” mode with line numbers and colored links to assist referees
and editors is now supported and its use encouraged.  Bibliography
support has been updated for DOI, URL, EPRINT, and arXiv references.
The macro file package includes greatly improved and expanded guide
and example files, along with an additional template file for
supplementary materials.

This work has been completed in tandem with an initiative to support
PDFLaTeX, allowing journal authors to submit figures in PDF, JPEG,
PNG, and EPS format. Previously, SIAM asked authors to provide figures
in EPS format alone.

A committee led by Tammy Kolda and consisting of Nick Gould, Doug
Arnold, and Randy LeVeque worked with SIAM staff members James Haines
and Kelly Thomas to make the upgrades possible.
