Sociology template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Sociology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Sociology 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 Sociology use?
Sociology 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', Sociology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Is the Sociology template one column or two?
Sociology 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 Sociology?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Sociology 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 Sociology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Sociology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
