Lupus template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Lupus format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Lupus 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 Lupus use?
Lupus uses Numbered (Vancouver) 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. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Lupus. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Is the Lupus template one column or two?
Lupus 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.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Lupus?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Lupus 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 Lupus template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Lupus format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Lupus?
SAGE journal (sagej). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by SAGE.
Can I export a submission-ready Lupus PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Lupus template (the sagej class, single-column) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Lupus template cost?
You can start writing in the Lupus template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Lupus PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
