Geoderma template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Geoderma format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Geoderma template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Geoderma use?
Geoderma uses Author–year (Harvard) 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', Geoderma, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Geoderma?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Geoderma 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 Geoderma template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Geoderma format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
