Biofabrication template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Biofabrication format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biofabrication template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biofabrication use?
Biofabrication uses Numbered (IOP) 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, Biofabrication 12 (2023) 45–58.
Is the Biofabrication template one column or two?
Biofabrication 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 IOP Publishing expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biofabrication?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Biofabrication 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 Biofabrication template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biofabrication format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
