Design template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Design format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Design template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Design use?
Design uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) 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, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Design 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Design?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Design 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 Design template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Design format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Design?
Design is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Design template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Design PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Design template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Design template cost?
