Citations and References
References puts your work into context and acknowledge other researchers’ contributions. However, one of the biggest challenges for many authors is correctly styling or including all references in their document. Elite Research editors will ensure your citations and references match up as well as adhere to any style guidelines.
In-Text Citations Check
What is it? Every in-text citation within a document must correspond to an entry in the reference list and vice versa (unless otherwise specified by the style guide instructions). To ensure that all your sources are included in the text of your document and reference list, our editors can conduct an in-text citation check. This process helps relieve the stress that can accompany such a tedious step.
How can we help you?
To conduct this service, we confirm all sources in text are also in the reference list and vice versa (unless otherwise specified by the style guide instructions), that all in-text citations are formatted correctly, confirm headings are formatted appropriately, and ensure that any added or deleted body content containing citations are reflected in the reference list.
