Solid Earth template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Solid Earth format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Solid Earth 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 Solid Earth use?
Solid Earth 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', Solid Earth, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Is the Solid Earth template one column or two?
Solid Earth 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 Solid Earth?
No. DocuGuru generates the copernicus LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Copernicus Publications-ready Solid Earth 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 Solid Earth template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Solid Earth format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
