1 This is Elsevier's new document class for typeset journal articles,
2 elsarticle.cls. It is now accepted for submitted articles, both in
3 Elsevier's electronic submission system and elsewhere.
5 Elsevier's previous document class for typeset articles, elsart.cls,
6 is now over 10 years old. It has been replaced with this newly written
7 document class elsarticle.cls, which has been developed for Elsevier
8 by the leading TeX developer River Valley Technologies.
10 elsarticle.cls is based upon the standard LaTeX document class
11 article.cls. It uses natbib.sty for bibliographical references.
13 Bugs and problems with elsarticle.cls may be reported to the
14 developers of the class via elsarticle@river-valley.com.
