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

No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Stresses document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
