Synthese template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Synthese format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Synthese 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 Synthese use?
Synthese 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. Synthese 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Synthese?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Synthese 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 Synthese template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Synthese format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Synthese?
Synthese is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Synthese template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Synthese PDF?
