How do I write a paper in the Social Forces format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Social Forces 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 Social Forces use?
Social Forces uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text.
