Small template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Small format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Small template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Small use?
Small uses Author–year (Chicago) 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." Small 12 (3): 45–58.
Is the Small template one column or two?
Small uses a single-column layout. DocuGuru reproduces that exact column layout, margins, and heading styles when it exports your PDF, so the output matches what Wiley expects.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Small?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Small 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 Small template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Small format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Small?
Wiley journal (USG class). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Wiley.
Can I export a submission-ready Small PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Small template (the USG class, single-column) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Small template cost?
You can start writing in the Small template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Small PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
