Robotics and Autonomous Systems template — frequently asked questions

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