Computer template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Computer format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Computer template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE two-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Computer use?
Computer uses Numbered (IEEE) 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, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," Computer, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Is the Computer template one column or two?
Computer uses a two-column layout. DocuGuru reproduces that exact column layout, margins, and heading styles when it exports your PDF, so the output matches what IEEE expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Computer?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEcsmag LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready Computer 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 Computer template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Computer format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Computer?
Computer, an IEEE Computer Society magazine. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by IEEE.
Can I export a submission-ready Computer PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Computer template (the IEEEcsmag class, two-column) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Computer template cost?
You can start writing in the Computer template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Computer PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
