Physical Review D template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Physical Review D format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Physical Review D template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Physical Society two-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Physical Review D use?
Physical Review D uses Numbered (APS) 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, Physical Review D 12, 45 (2023).
