Note added on 2020/05/22: The previous version (v3.1c) of the EISS LaTeX style package was used for EISS 12. The present version (v3.1d) includes a couple of minor text changes but there's no change in functionality.
The LaTeX template is distributed as a ZIP archive, which you should download and unzip. Please start by reading README.txt, also copied as follows:

This is a LaTeX template package for EISS 12, for either pdflatex or
latex as the typesetting engine.
This package consists of a main directory with four files and one
subdirectory eiss/ with 11 files:
README.txt
lppl.txt
EXAMPLE_master.pdf
check-for-packages.tex
eiss/
eiss.sty
eiss12-logo_blank.eps
eiss12-logo_blank.pdf
apa-good.bst
AUTHOR_master.tex
AUTHOR_body.tex
AUTHOR_refs.tex
EXAMPLE_master.tex
EXAMPLE_body.tex
EXAMPLE_refs.tex
EXAMPLE_bib.bib
You're reading README.txt. :-)
lppl.txt contains the package license (the LaTeX Project Public License
Version 1.3c).
EXAMPLE_master.pdf is an example illustrating eiss.sty,
AUTHOR_master.tex, AUTHOR_body.tex, AUTHOR_refs.tex, and the style
sheet. (You can try to compile the corresponding TEX file in the
subdirectory eiss/.)
check-for-packages.tex is a file that you can latex in order to check
for packages explicitly required by eiss.sty. Just latex this file and
pay attention to the output (or examine the LOG file afterwards).
Turning to the subdirectory eiss/:
eiss.sty is the LaTeX style file for EISS 12. It may be easiest to keep
this file in the same directory as your TEX files (but you could also
put it somewhere else where LaTeX searches for files). Please don't
modify it.
eiss12-logo_blank.[eps|pdf] are two files containing a blank logo. One
of these files is inserted by AUTHOR_master.tex -- the file inserted
depends on whether pdflatex (then the PDF version) or latex + dvips
(then the EPS version) is used to compile AUTHOR_master.tex. It may be
easiest to keep these files in the same directory as your TEX files.
apa-good.bst is a BibTeX style file for the APA style. This is the
BibTeX style file that you should use. This file is due to Ben Salzberg
and is available at:
https://www.reed.edu/cis/help/LaTeX/bibtexstyles.html
(The direct link is
http://www.reed.edu/cis/help/LaTeX/images/apa-good.bst.zip . This file
is included as a convenience. It's not clear what its license is.)
AUTHOR_master.tex, AUTHOR_body.tex, AUTHOR_refs.tex -- these three files
are to be edited for your paper:
- AUTHOR_master.tex is the file in which you set 11 parameters for
your paper, as well as for loading any packages that you need. Please
follow the instructions in it (it's intended to be
self-explanatory). This is the file that you compile. It's advised to
rename it (by replacing "AUTHOR" with your last name, e.g.,
pinon_master.tex).
- AUTHOR_body.tex is the file for the body of your paper. This is
where you should write your main text. It's also advised to rename
this file (by replacing "AUTHOR" with your last name).
- AUTHOR_refs.tex is the file for your reference list. Please follow
the instructions in it. Please also rename this file accordingly. You
will probably have a BIB file as well that is referenced by this file
(cf. EXAMPLE_bib.bib).
EXAMPLE_master.tex, EXAMPLE_body.tex, EXAMPLE_refs.tex, EXAMPLE_bib.bib
-- these four files are the source files for EXAMPLE_master.pdf in the
main directory. You're encouraged to try to compile EXAMPLE_master.tex
as another way to test your system (in addition to latex-ing
check-for-packages.tex in the main directory).
Before sending the source files for your paper to the editor, please pay
attention to the following three points:
- Any "Overfull \hbox" should be strictly less than 13pt (pay
attention to the compilation messages).
- Naturally, there shouldn't be any LaTeX errors, but there also
shouldn't be any BibTeX errors or warnings.
- In general, don't force capitalization in your BIB file unless
there's an orthographic convention that dictates otherwise. Where
possible, you should let the BibTeX style decide about
capitalization.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy LaTeXing!
