I want to start writing on an article that is probably going to be published in one of the IOP journals. There is a template for their publications, but it lacks some (for me) essential packages. Since I've never submitted an article myself, I want to be sure the editing process goes as smooth as possible by eliminating problems early. So here's the question:
Can I add all the packages I like to the template without pissing off the editor? I talk about things like inputenc
, fontenc
, biblatex
, microtype
, etc. Nothing fancy, but very basic LaTeX stuff. I also prefer to have a separate .bib
file for my bibliography, since I have them already organized that way and do not want to manually copy the info into the bibliography as suggested in the template.
I already read the guidelines for authors and there was no mention of modifying the template, only that its use is highly appreciated.
If anyone could provide any (preferrably inside info) on how editors work with submitted LaTeX files, that would help a lot! Thanks.

are essential? They just alter the output (and will probably removed for the final publication anway…). – Dirk Jul 21 '16 at 6:16
