Joule template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Joule format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Joule 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 Joule use?
Joule 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, Joule 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Joule?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Joule 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 Joule template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Joule format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
