Stats template — frequently asked questions

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