HOMO template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the HOMO format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the HOMO 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 HOMO use?
HOMO 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', HOMO, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to HOMO?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready HOMO 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 HOMO template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the HOMO format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes HOMO?
HOMO is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's HOMO template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready HOMO PDF?
