Sensors template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Sensors format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Sensors 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 Sensors use?
Sensors 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, Sensors 12 (2023) 45–58.

Sensors 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.

No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Sensors 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 Sensors template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Sensors format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
