Journal of the ACM template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Journal of the ACM format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of the ACM template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official ACM single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of the ACM use?
Journal of the ACM uses Numbered (ACM) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Ada Smith, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. A representative article title. Journal of the ACM 12, 3, Article 45 (2023).
Is the Journal of the ACM template one column or two?
Journal of the ACM uses a single-column layout. DocuGuru reproduces that exact column layout, margins, and heading styles when it exports your PDF, so the output matches what ACM expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of the ACM?
No. DocuGuru generates the acmart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a ACM-ready Journal of the ACM 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 Journal of the ACM template?
