<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">We tend to use templates with most common packages in the field, kindly ask the authors not to use any home made macros, plus some extra macros to format titles etc.<br>
<br>
Then in assembly, we use docmute to ignore any preambles and redefine the title and author macros. The each article is included in the master.<br>
<br>
It does take some work to get everyone to comply to the guidelines, but it works just fine.<br>
<br>
For the bibliographies one can use chapterbib.<br>
<br>
One thing to look out for is labels. Having full control over the packages used, makes it simpler to automatically prefix all labels. It is doable, but not easy.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear Friends,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I am working as a volunteer for setting up document classes for the Journal of Bangladesh Studies (JBS). JBS is published by a non-profit non-government organization “Bangladesh Development Initiative” (BDI).
JBS is published in print form. However issues older than 3 years can be accessed via web for free. Currently it is assembled with Word and from now on we would like to typeset it with LaTeX.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So far, I can see that we need two kinds of class files --- (a) standard class file for the authors who will write an article based on the file supplied by us and (b) class file for the entire issue containing
a certain number of articles. Each article will have its own bibliography and the author will supply the tex files, image files, and a compiled pdf file. This kind of class files are widely available for different journals and different publishers. On the
publisher’s end we are required to integrate all the articles together into a book form.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Now here is my question. Is there any standard class file for each article and the corresponding class file for the entire book? What is the best way to go with it so that the process of integration becomes smooth
and reasonably effortless. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Any idea/pointer is welcome. I need your help.</span></p>
