The Library template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The Library format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Library 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 The Library use?
The Library 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. (2023) 'A representative article title', The Library, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The Library?
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 The Library 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 The Library template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Library format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes The Library?
The Library is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's The Library template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready The Library PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Library template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Library template cost?
You can start writing in the The Library template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The Library PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
