INFEDU LaTeX templates — BibTeX / natbib

Informatics in Education · Release 2026-10-04 r2

Compatibility workflow. Specialised reference types and some APA 7 cases still need manual checking. The biblatex/Biber package provides more complete automated APA 7 formatting.

Build and manuscript guidance

After installing the required TeX tools, use sh build.sh review or sh build.sh early. PowerShell users can run ./build.ps1 -Mode review or ./build.ps1 -Mode early. See the README for the complete command sequence.

Replace all instructional text and placeholder identities. ORCID placeholders are not real identifiers. Volume and issue zero demonstrate Early View; the Editorial Office supplies actual publication metadata and any assigned DOI.

Keep this folder separate from the other bibliography workflow. In particular, do not exchange their vtexnatbib.sty files.

No formal word limit applies at initial submission. The numerical article-length guidance concerns the final publication version only. Follow the current INFEDU author instructions for abstract, contribution-section and length requirements.
