Culture template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Culture format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Culture template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Culture use?
Culture uses Numbered (MDPI) 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, Culture 12 (2023) 45–58.
Is the Culture template one column or two?
Culture 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 MDPI expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Culture?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Culture 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 Culture template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Culture format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Culture?
Culture - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Culture PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Culture template (the mdpi class, single-column) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Culture template cost?
You can start writing in the Culture template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Culture PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
