SmartMat template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the SmartMat format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the SmartMat 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 SmartMat use?
SmartMat 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." SmartMat 12 (3): 45–58.
Is the SmartMat template one column or two?
SmartMat 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 SmartMat?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready SmartMat 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 SmartMat template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the SmartMat format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
