Communication Research template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Communication Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Communication Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Communication Research use?
Communication Research uses Author–year (Harvard) 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', Communication Research, 12(3), pp. 45–58.

Communication Research 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 SAGE expects.

No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Communication Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
