Pattern Recognition template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Pattern Recognition format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Pattern Recognition template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Pattern Recognition use?
Pattern Recognition 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, Pattern Recognition 12 (2023) 45–58.

Pattern Recognition 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 Elsevier expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Pattern Recognition?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Pattern Recognition 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 Pattern Recognition template?
