How do I write a paper in the Cerebral Cortex format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cerebral Cortex template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cerebral Cortex use?
Cerebral Cortex uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C.
