Geochronology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Geochronology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Geochronology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Copernicus Publications single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Geochronology use?
Geochronology uses Author–year (Copernicus) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Geochronology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Is the Geochronology template one column or two?
Geochronology 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 Copernicus Publications expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Geochronology?
No. DocuGuru generates the copernicus LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Copernicus Publications-ready Geochronology 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 Geochronology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Geochronology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Geochronology?
Copernicus Publications journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by Copernicus Publications.
Can I export a submission-ready Geochronology PDF?
