User Guide
From upload and target template setup to export, format your paper in minutes.
Getting Started
Step 1:Upload Paper
Drag your paper file into the upload area, or click to select a file. Supports PDF and Word (.docx) formats.
Step 2:AI Parsing
After upload, AutoSCI AI automatically parses the paper structure, identifying titles, abstracts, sections, figures, equations, and references.
Step 3:Edit Online
Review and adjust parsing results in the structured editor. You can modify content, add information, and reorder sections.
Step 4:Select Template & Export
Choose your target template in the export panel. If the target is not listed, import a new template first, then generate a formatted LaTeX, PDF, or Word file.
Conference / Journal Submission
When converting between conference or journal formats, AutoSCI handles the major differences automatically:
- Layout adjustment: single or double column switching, margins, and font sizes
- Citation conversion: IEEE numbered, APA author-year, Chicago, and more
- Page limit check: automatic detection of page count compliance
- Abstract word count: verification against target template limits
Thesis Formatting
Thesis formatting usually requires cover pages, abstracts, tables of contents, body text, references, and acknowledgements. AutoSCI helps with:
- Automatic cover generation based on school-specific fields
- Roman numeral and Arabic numeral page numbering rules
- GB/T 7714 compliant references for Chinese university templates
- Fonts and line spacing aligned with thesis requirements
Custom Template Import
If the template library does not yet include your target journal, conference, or school, import a custom template from the editor. This is useful for resubmissions, department-specific requirements, advisor-provided Word files, or official LaTeX style packages.
- Supported sources: Word templates, LaTeX projects, .cls/.sty/.bst style files, ZIP packages, written format specs, and journal or school name lookup.
- Confirmation flow: AutoSCI extracts layout, cover, section, citation, and export rules, then asks you to confirm fields and preview validation before saving.
- Where it works: the generated template is saved to your account and can be used for template selection, diagnosis, PDF preview, and Word/LaTeX/PDF export.
