Microplastics template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Microplastics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Microplastics 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 Microplastics use?
Microplastics 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.
