Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon Films

Kostya S. Novoselov, A. K. Geǐm, С. В. Морозов et al. · 21 Oct 2004

We describe monocrystalline graphitic films, which are a few atoms thick but are nonetheless stable under ambient conditions, metallic, and of remarkably high quality. The films are found to be a two-dimensional semimetal with a tiny overlap between valence and conductance bands, and they exhibit a strong ambipolar electric field effect such that electrons and…

Optimization by Simulated Annealing

Scott Kirkpatrick, C. D. Gelatt, M.P. Vecchi · 13 May 1983

There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics (the behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium at a finite temperature) and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters). A detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of…

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks

Albert-Ĺaszló Barabási, Réka Albert · 15 Oct 1999

Systems as diverse as genetic networks or the World Wide Web are best described as networks with complex topology. A common property of many large networks is that the vertex connectivities follow a scale-free power-law distribution. This feature was found to be a consequence of two generic mechanisms: (i) networks expand continuously by the addition…

Judgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases

Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman · 27 Sep 1974

This article described three heuristics that are employed in making judgments under uncertainty: (i) representativeness, which is usually employed when people are asked to judge the probability that an object or event A belongs to class or process B; (ii) availability of instances or scenarios, which is often employed when people are asked to assess…

Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AAAS (Science) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Science use?
Science uses Superscript numbered (Science) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title. Science 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the article LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AAAS (Science)-ready Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Science template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Science format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Science?
Science family journal (AAAS). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by AAAS (Science).
Can I export a submission-ready Science PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Science template (the article class) that is ready to submit to AAAS (Science), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Science template cost?
You can start writing in the Science template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Science PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
