Text, references and supporting files
A formatting scope can cover headings, abstract layout, citation numbering, reference style, table titles, figure legends and file organization. Vancouver-style formatting can be discussed where the journal requests it. Journal-specific instructions take priority over a generic style label.
Do not invent missing reference details
Incomplete or conflicting citations need author verification. Missing page numbers, article identifiers, author names or DOIs should not be guessed. Confirm whether bibliographic checking is included or whether the task is formatting only.
Work from one approved version
Provide the latest manuscript, reference library when available, separate tables and figures, and the target instructions. Tell us about required templates and supplementary material. Maintain a clear version history while corrections are reviewed.
Know what formatting does not do
Formatting does not validate the evidence, confirm consent or secure journal acceptance. Figure redrawing, language editing and major reference reconstruction are additional tasks unless explicitly included in your quotation.
Formats across academic disciplines
The requested style may be Vancouver, APA, Harvard, IEEE, MLA, Chicago or a journal-specific variation. Provide the current author instructions and editable files. We agree whether Word, LaTeX source work, supplementary material and final compilation checks are included before starting.
Questions about journal and reference formatting
- Can you format for a specific medical journal?
- Yes. Supply the journal name and current author instructions so the precise scope can be checked.
- Are reference checks included automatically?
- Not necessarily. Confirm whether the quote includes source verification, reference repair or only presentation changes.
