LaTeX home page
  Doesn't seem to have been updated since 1994.

## Packages for Publications

REVTeX
  The American Institute of Physics accepts manuscripts for several of its journals in REVTeX.
AASTeX
  Similarly, the American Astronomical Society accepts manuscripts for several of its journals in AASTeX. The AASTeX FAQ might be helpful. Astronomers will also find TeX and LaTeX Macros for astronomers from STScI to be useful; Particularly good is Chris Biemesderfer's LaTeX Command Summary.
AMSTeX
  The American Mathematical Society has their own macro package, AMSTeX.
