Erkenntnis template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Erkenntnis format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Erkenntnis 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 Erkenntnis use?
Erkenntnis 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. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Erkenntnis 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Erkenntnis?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Erkenntnis 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 Erkenntnis template?
