FAQs

1. What does your formatting service include?

We format manuscripts according to your target journal, university or publisher guidelines. This includes layout (margins, spacing, headings), reference and citation style, figure and table formatting, title page elements, and overall document consistency.

2. Which citation styles do you work with?

We work with all major citation styles, including APA, Vancouver, Harvard, MLA, Chicago, and journal-specific in-house styles. Please indicate the required style or provide the relevant style guide, the name of your target journal or link to the journal’s author instructions.
