Using the template
The template we have created will help you produce consistent articles, in line with the rest of the research published on our site. The file is made of 3 sections for all the research published on our site:
The front page, containing the meta-data that will be safe within the file.
The article itself.
A disclaimer.
The front page
The front page is made of placeholder fields for you to include meta-data on the PDF exported from it and in the article hosted on the Terminal.
The following fields make up the front page:
The title and subject/sub-title of your article.
Your name as the author of the article, and company and email if any.
The publication date.
Resource and category tags, in line with our Terminal.
A front picture.
The article
You can edit the article the same way you would edit a Word file. However, in order to ensure the uniformity of research articles throughout our Terminal, the free formatting of text has been disabled and only the Clear All Formatting button remains enabled:
Normal is the default style, generating justified paragraphs.
Centered is intended to center an image, its title and its caption on page.
Bulletpoint, as the name implies, creates a bulletpoint list.
You can create nested lists using tabulations, just like you would in an unlocked Word document.Numbered list behaves similarly, except it uses numbers instead of bulletpoints.
By default, paragraphs are separated by some space:
Emphasis changes the font to italic.
Strong changes the font to bold.
It cannot be combined with Emphasis.
Any Emphasis/Strong formatting you added to your text can be cleared using the Clear formatting button.
Lastly, you can use any or all of 5 styles heading styles, in decreasing sizes from Heading 1 to Heading 5.
Pictures, titles and caption
Pictures are often intended to be included in the document centered, and with a title and caption, like this example below.
Shortcuts
Most styles you need are available as shortcuts:
Style | Shortcut |
|---|---|
Normal paragraph | Ctrl+Shift+N |
Emphasis | Ctrl+I |
Strong | Ctrl+B |
Heading 1 | Ctrl+1 |
Heading 2 | Ctrl+2 |
Heading 3 | Ctrl+3 |
Heading 4 | Ctrl+4 |
Heading 5 | Ctrl+5 |
Clear formatting | Ctrl+Space |
The Disclaimer
The disclaimer is included solely in the PDF file and is not displayed at the end of the research article when viewed on the Terminal. It typically consists of two parts:
Your Disclaimer: Any disclaimer you wish to include regarding your work should be added by you. We recommend saving this in a template document for future use.
GaiaMine Disclaimer: Before creating the webpage from your submitted Word file, we will append a section of disclaimer specific to GaiaMine.

You understand that no content published on the Site constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person. You further understand that none of the bloggers, information providers, app providers, or their affiliates are advising you personally concerning the nature, potential, value or suitability of any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction, investment strategy or other matter. To the extent that any of the content published on the Site may be deemed to be investment advice or recommendations in connection with a particular security, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person. You understand that an investment in any security is subject to a number of risks, and that discussions of any security published on the Site will not contain a list or description of relevant risk factors. In addition, please note that some of the stocks about which content is published on the Site have a low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float. Such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information. Blogs, postings or content on the Site which may or may not be deemed by you to be recommendations may have an effect on their stock prices.
You understand that the Site may contain opinions from time to time with regard to securities mentioned in other GaiaMine blogs or products, and that opinions in one blog or product may be different from those in another blog or product. Any views or opinions expressed may not reflect those of GaiaMine as a whole.

However, you understand and agree that non-employees, including outside bloggers or other content contributors or their affiliates, may write about securities in which they or their firms have a position, that they may trade for their own account, and that they may or may not be subject to a disclosure policy. In cases where GaiaMine becomes aware that one of its employees has violated his or her disclosure obligation, GaiaMine will take appropriate action. In addition, outside bloggers or content contributors may be subject to certain restrictions on trading for their own account. However, you understand and agree that at the time of any transaction that you make, one or more bloggers or content contributors or their affiliates may have a position in the securities they write about.
You understand that performance data is supplied by sources believed to be reliable, that the calculations on our Site are made using such data, and that such calculations are not guaranteed by these sources, the information providers, or any other person or entity, and may not be complete.
From time to time, reference may be made on our Site to prior articles and opinions we have published. These references may be selective, may reference only a portion of an article or opinion, and are likely not to be current. As markets change continuously, previously published information and data may not be current and should not be relied upon.

These standards are designed to ensure that the dialogue on the Site is credible, responsible, intelligent and informative. We cannot guarantee that users will tell the truth, and we will not monitor the veracity of names and positions or the content of any posts.
