GigaScience template — frequently asked questions

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