The Holocene template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the The Holocene format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Holocene 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 The Holocene use?
The Holocene 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', The Holocene, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Is the The Holocene template one column or two?
The Holocene 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 The Holocene?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready The Holocene 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 Holocene template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Holocene format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is The Holocene?
SAGE journal (sagej). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by SAGE.
Can I export a submission-ready The Holocene PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Holocene template (the sagej class, single-column) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Holocene template cost?
