How do I write a paper in the APL Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the APL Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AIP Publishing two-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does APL Materials use?
APL Materials uses Numbered (AIP) 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] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, APL Materials 12, 45 (2023).

No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AIP Publishing-ready APL Materials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
