Evolution template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Evolution format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Evolution template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Evolution use?
Evolution uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text.
