HPB template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the HPB format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the HPB 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 HPB use?
HPB uses Numbered (Elsevier) 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, C. Lee, A representative article title, HPB 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to HPB?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready HPB 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 HPB template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the HPB format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes HPB?
HPB is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's HPB template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready HPB PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official HPB template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.

You can start writing in the HPB template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready HPB PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
