The package cjs-rcs-article provides the LaTeX document class cjs-rcs-article and the companion bibliographic styles cjs-rcs-en and cjs-rcs-fr to typeset articles for The Canadian Journal of Statistics.

Typesetting a manuscript with the class requires a recent and up-to-date TeX distribution. We recommmend the distributions TeX Live — or its variant for macOS MacTeX — and MiKTeX. You may also use an online LaTeX editor such as Overleaf.

To take full advantage of the characteristics of the class, we recommend that you compile using XeLaTeX. The class remains nonetheless largely compatible with the traditional engine pdfLaTeX.
