GeoJournal template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the GeoJournal format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the GeoJournal 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 GeoJournal use?
GeoJournal 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. GeoJournal 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to GeoJournal?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready GeoJournal document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
