OneThree arXiv Template: A Clean LaTeX Template for Research Papers

OneThree arXiv Template is a reusable LaTeX template designed for arXiv-style papers, technical reports, project manuscripts, and research drafts. It provides a polished paper layout with a custom title block, author and affiliation formatting, resource links, first-page teaser image, section placeholders, bibliography setup, and appendix support.

The template is intended for researchers, students, and project teams who want to quickly prepare a clear, modern manuscript without rebuilding the LaTeX structure from scratch. It keeps the core writing workflow lightweight: edit paper.tex, replace placeholder images, update section files, and compile.

Why This Template Exists

Research projects often need more than a plain manuscript. A modern preprint or technical report usually includes project links, code links, dataset links, a strong first-page figure, readable section structure, and an appendix that can hold extra experiments or implementation details.

OneThree arXiv Template provides these pieces in a compact, reusable form:

• Paper-ready LaTeX structure for arXiv-style manuscripts and reports;
• Custom document class with title, header, fonts, captions, colors, and abstract styling;
• Author and affiliation formatting for multi-author papers;
• Resource link block for project page, GitHub, Hugging Face, or other assets;
• First-page teaser figure for visual project summaries;
• Section-based editing for easier collaboration and version control;
• Bibliography and appendix support for complete research writeups.

It is intentionally simple: replace the placeholders with your own content, keep the file structure stable, and compile.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A working LaTeX distribution
• latexmk

Build the Paper

Compile the manuscript with:

latexmk -pdf -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error paper.tex

The generated PDF is:

paper.pdf

Editing the Paper

Most project-specific metadata is edited in paper.tex.

Title, Authors, and Affiliations

\title{Paper Title: Concise Subtitle Describing the Main Contribution}

\author[1]{First Author}
\author[1,2]{Second Author}
\author[2]{Third Author}

\affiliation[1]{Institution One}
\affiliation[2]{Institution Two}

Abstract

Update the abstract block in paper.tex:

\abstract{
...
}

Resource Links

The default resource links are placeholders:

Replace them inside the \checkdata[Resources] block in paper.tex.

Images and Figures

The first-page teaser image is:

pngs/image.png

The default section placeholder images are:

pngs/image1.png
pngs/image2.png
pngs/image3.png
pngs/image4.png

You can replace these files while keeping the same filenames, or update the corresponding \includegraphics paths in paper.tex and the files under sections/.

By default, images are inserted by width:

\includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth]{pngs/image.png}

This preserves the original aspect ratio and keeps figure replacement straightforward.

Customization

Replace the Logo

The upper-left header logo is:

assets/onethree_logo.jpeg

To replace it, put your logo in assets/ and update the firststyle header in onethree.cls:

\includegraphics[width=40mm]{assets/your-logo.pdf}

Adjust the width if your logo has a different aspect ratio.

Edit Sections

The template includes the following section files:

You can edit, rename, remove, or reorder these files from paper.tex as needed.

Bibliography

Add references to main.bib and cite them with standard BibTeX commands:

\cite{sample_reference}

The template uses:

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{main}

Highlights

• Reusable LaTeX template: Suitable for arXiv papers, technical reports, project manuscripts, and research drafts.
• Polished first page: Includes custom title, author block, abstract styling, resource links, and teaser figure.
• Section-based writing: Keeps long papers easier to edit, review, and maintain.
• Custom class file: onethree.cls centralizes layout, fonts, colors, captions, title block, headers, and appendix style.
• Figure placeholders: Default teaser and section images make it easy to prototype a complete manuscript quickly.
• Bibliography ready: main.bib and plainnat are already wired into the template.
• Open source: Designed as a practical starting point for research teams and individual authors.

Notes

This template intentionally keeps placeholder text and images lightweight. Replace all placeholder content before submission or public release.

LaTeX may emit a fancyhdr headheight warning because the header keeps the original logo and title-page spacing style. The warning does not prevent PDF generation.
