Frequently asked
Can you fix EndNote/Zotero chaos?
Yes — we can work from Word drafts and help you stabilise the reference list even when the library is messy.
Do you offer a citation formatter tool?
Yes — use our free Citation Formatter for single entries, then book a full cleanup for multi-chapter consistency.
Will formatting change my word count much?
Usually minimally. We focus on presentation and citations rather than cutting academic content.
“IEEE referencing was a mess until they normalised author lists and conference titles. Saved a weekend I would have spent guessing styles.”
“APA formatting across tables, figures, and references — submission accepted first time.”
“My referencing was a mess before this. Every citation checked, formatted, and consistent.”
“Harvard referencing cleanup across 180 sources — every entry consistent. Supervisor finally signed off.”
“Harvard cleanup matched our faculty guide, not a generic Cite Them Right dump. Reference list and in-text citations finally lined up.”
“Chicago notes-bibliography cleanup for my history essay was meticulous. They flagged secondary citations I had mishandled.”
“APA 7 formatting for my thesis fixed DOIs, italics, and hanging indents across 180+ sources. Australian spelling stayed consistent throughout.”
