Abstract: The elsarticle.cls, cas-sc.cls, and cas-dc.cls classes are the preferred LaTeX class files recommended by Elsevier, a publishing company specializing in scientific, technical, and medical (STM) content for manuscript submissions to their journals. These class files are available on CTAN along with templates, BibTeX style files, and user documentations. In this article, we will mainly explore the purpose, features and benefits of these class files and how to utilize these packages effectively for their intended purposes. We also list the challenges resulting from not using these recommended templates.
