AMBIO template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the AMBIO format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the AMBIO template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does AMBIO use?
AMBIO uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically.
