I am using the new nature class from Springer, which is available on this https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/campaigns/latex-author-support

I am having trouble in selecting the bibliography style for the document class iicol. In the main text, it is mentioned to use 'Default with double column layout', but I am unable to find the same in bst folder.

This is how the main document looks like

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Have you checked the documentation PDF that is provided with the class? If not, look on page 12 (Section 8.3). They list which .bst file (located in the bst folder when downloading the sources) should be used depending on the journal you want to submit to. If you're still unsure, you should check the author guidelines specifically provided by the journal you plan to submit to.

  • I want to submit in Signal, Image and Video Processing journal. link . It is mentioned to use the document class as iicol. Could suggest me the necessary changes for bibliography style and the bibliography? Thanks

  • From what is described in the "References" section of the link you provided, my guess would be to use the sn-mathphys with a \bibliographystyle{sn-mathphys} before your \bibliography command. Of course, before doing that, retrieve the proper .bst in the bst folder provided by the editor

As mention in the comment section above, add \bibliographystyle{sn-mathphys} before \bibliography if you want the number format for citation. For other format, follow bst file names or reference string in different \documentclass{}. Repeated the comment so that users can have better visual on answer.
