Guidelines for writing equations on the Cureus Journals platform

1. Preparation

Before you start writing equations, ensure you have a clear understanding of the mathematical concepts you wish to convey. Familiarize yourself with the LaTeX typesetting system, which is commonly used to write equations in academic journals.

2. Embedding LaTeX in Your Manuscript:

Step 1: Paste your LaTex code (Sample LaTex code: a_1^2 + b_1^2 = c_1^2)

Step 2: Preview the equation you have entered/pasted

Step 3: Choose either Inline or Center Aligned mode

Inline mode places the equation within the same line as the surrounding text.
Center Aligned mode places the equation on a separate line and is centered on the page. (Note: In Center Aligned mode, you can also add an equation number. To do so, replace X with your preferred equation number in \tag{x}).

Step 4: Click the INSERT EQUATION button

Drag your cursor to where you want to add the equation and click on the INSERT EQUATION button. The equation will then be added to the editor below in the Cureus-supported LaTeX format at the current cursor location. If the cursor position cannot be detected, the equation will be inserted at the beginning of the editor.
